Development in Dorset

The development in Dorset is the largest Passivhaus development in the UK. It comprises 79 one, two and three-bedroom Passivhaus homes, all with a timber frame construction. The flats and terraced houses are predominantly insulated using PAVATEX’s Timber Frame Clad & and EWI Render systems, delivering extremely high levels of thermal performance and airtightness, and preventing summertime overheating. The energy-efficient homes provide a mixture of private and social housing at an impressive build cost of just £1,000/m2 for the entire build (2013 Prices)

PAVATEX woodfibre insulation solutions, are suitable for both new buildings and for the renovation of existing buildings. The ecological and sustainable woodfibre boards meet all the requirements for modern insulating materials and bring along many additional advantages compared to other products used in the industry.
