Riverside Quarter is the fi rst development in the UK to specify Pre-Assembled Frames (PAF) – designed, engineered and manufactured by EOS.
In addition to the Thrubuild® loadbearing
range, we have researched and developed Thruwall® – fully engineered custom-designed non-loadbearing infi ll systems manufactured off site and supplied as a certifi ed kit of parts that can be used with concrete and steel main frames. Following the outstanding success of
with certifi cation bodies to jointly develop and design technical solutions. By eliminating uncertainty through rigorous
testing regimes, EOS deliver light steel framing systems with certifi ed and predictable performance. Recently presented with Best External Product trophy at the Housebuilder Product Awards, Thrubuild® is an all-in-one non-combustible certifi ed system exploiting the latest products, technical know-how and manufacturing excellence of the combined Etex team. Providing crucial safety, time and cost benefi ts, the Thrubuild® range has multiple loadbearing applications for low and medium rise developments and can be used for external or internal walls together with internal and separating fl oors.
Thruwall® – EOS has taken factory prefabrication and preassembly to another level. Developed and rigorously tested, Pre-Assembled Frames (PAF) are an evolution of Thruwall® which is delivered to site as a unitised non-loadbearing infi ll system encapsulating light steel framing and external sheathing. Both Thruwall® and PAF systems are suitable for buildings with a height of more than 18 metres. All components and products in the
Thrubuild®, Thruwall® and Pre-Assembled Frames system range have been rigorously tested together for fi re, acoustic, weathering, airtightness, durability and mechanical performance. Fire resistance periods of 60, 90 and 120 minutes are predictably achievable.
30-YEAR WARRANTY A fragmented supply chain will result in components being off ered by a multitude of manufacturers, therefore warranties are complex, for very limited timescales or simply non-existent. This uncertainty also extends to the costs involved, the speed of build and the quality of the fi nal outcome.
When walling and fl ooring systems are built with Etex Group components and materials, following a validation process — Etex award a 30-year warranty. Advanced light steel framing systems manufactured off site in well managed factory environments not only mitigate risk but also enhance the speed and quality of the build process. Robust testing regimes backed by comprehensive warranties off er assurances to developers and no doubt help specifying teams sleep at night safe in the knowledge that they have safeguarded building owners and occupants.
