ECO FRIENDLY SPACE

Lodrix Timber Construction System

​

At Lodrix, we use a carefully considered timber construction system designed to deliver strength, thermal efficiency and year-round comfort. Our build-up combines structural timber framing, high-quality mineral wool insulation and breathable layers to create durable, energy-efficient buildings suited to the British climate.

 

This construction approach is ideal for garden rooms, annexes, lodges and residential timber-framed buildings, offering a practical balance of performance, sustainability and build efficiency.

 

Key Benefits

​

• Excellent thermal performance for comfortable year-round use 

• Fully insulated wall, floor and roof systems 

• Breathable construction to help manage internal moisture 

• Sustainably minded timber-based build method 

• Efficient off-site preparation and streamlined installation 

​

 

Wall Construction

 

Our external wall build-up is designed to provide structural stability, insulation performance and long-term protection from the elements.

 

Typical wall build-up includes:

 

External cladding
A durable external finish selected to suit the design and setting of the building.

 

Breathable membrane
Helps protect the structure from external moisture while allowing the wall to breathe.

 

Structural timber frame
The core of the wall system, providing strength, stability and a precise framework.

 

Mineral wool insulation
Fully insulated wall cavities help improve thermal and acoustic performance.

 

OSB sheathing and vapour control layer
These layers strengthen the structure and assist with airtightness and moisture management.

 

Internal lining
Typically plasterboard or internal cladding, providing a clean and practical internal finish.

 

Result: a warm, breathable and durable wall system designed for long-term performance.

 

 

Floor Construction

 

Our floor system is designed to provide a solid base, minimise heat loss and support a comfortable internal environment.

 

Typical floor build-up includes:

 

Foundation support
The structure can be designed to suit the project requirements, including suitable foundation solutions.

 

Timber floor joists
Form the structural base of the floor and provide stability throughout the building.

 

Insulation layer
High-quality insulation improves thermal and acoustic performance.

 

Breathable and vapour control layers
Support moisture control and help protect the structural build-up.

 

Structural deck
A rigid deck layer provides a stable surface for final floor finishes.

 

Final floor finish
Can be finished in laminate, engineered wood, vinyl or other suitable flooring materials.

 

Result: a stable, well-insulated and comfortable floor system suited to year-round use.

 

 

Roof Structure

​

Our roof system is designed to protect the building from the weather while contributing to the overall insulation performance of the structure.

 

Typical roof build-up includes:

 

Roof covering
Selected to suit the design, appearance and performance requirements of the project.

 

Breathable membrane
Provides weather protection while supporting a breathable construction build-up.

 

Structural timber roof frame
Delivers strength and forms the structural shape of the roof.

 

Mineral wool insulation
Helps reduce heat loss and improve year-round comfort.

 

Internal lining and battens
Complete the internal finish and allow for practical service zones where required.

 

Result: a durable, insulated and weather-resistant roof system built for British conditions.
