The Truss House project aims to develop and prove the structural and thermal properties of an attic frame house for rural locations, providing a solution to the shortage of affordable homes in rural communities.
The initiative involves the conceptual design and development of a house product to provide a super structure and envelope for an entire house – including the floors, walls and roof.
The total project value is over £100k, with the CSIC contributing £50k towards the scheme.
Pasquill will be supporting the project development by providing truss products for testing purposes.
“Pasquill and Saint-Gobain are proud members of the Construction Scotland Innovation Centre in Hamilton, and as a business we are always looking at various new methods of construction and technology,” said Ross Baxter, MD of Pasquill and International Timber.
