Technical details for
Modular buildings

The modular Building System is manufactured in segmented form under strict quality controlled factory conditions. Each module conforms structurally with the British Standards 5268 Part 2, and complies with the latest building regulations.

Each module arrives on site complete with internal and external decoration, floor covering, lighting, heating and internal
plumbing installed.

Foundation work is kept to a minimum and the site merely requires
to be reasonably level with easy access.


Floor
The standard floor is constructed from softwood joists supported on 2 mild steel lattice skids designed to withstand a superimposed load of 3kN/m2. All timber is preservative treated to increase durability and prevent decay. Thermal insulation is provided in accordance with the current Building Regulations. A floor deck of 15.5mm WBP plywood fixed to the joists completes the structure and the standard floor covering is 1.5mm sheet vinyl.
Floor Options
Increased floor loadings of 5kN/m2, various floor coverings are available, sample cards and specification sheets are supplied upon request.
External Walls
The wall construction uses a 9mm WBP exterior grade plywood glued and nailed to a softwood timber frame at 400mm center's forming a structural panel. Glass fibre insulation suspended in the void provides the required insulation and vapour check plasterboard forms the internal lining achieving the half hour fire resistance and class O classification to the Building Regulations part B appendix A. The standard external finish is a factory applied resin based texture which can, if required, be in the client's own livery.
External Wall Options
Optional finishes include Plastic coated steel, aggregate stone finish, brick and timber cladding.
Internal Walls
The non-load bearing walls consist of softwood framing at 400mm center's lined both sides with 12.7mm plasterboard.
Internal Wall options
Half glazed partitioning, sliding and folding partitions can be incorporated to meet client's requirements.
Roof
The roof construction uses softwood ceiling roof joists (125 x 38 at 400mm center's) spanning between 2 purpose designed lattice steel beams. The roof covering is a single layer flexible PVC roofing system fully bonded to a 9.5mm WBP exterior grade plywood deck which is securely fixed to the roof joists. Glass fibre insulation mat laid between the joists provides the required insulation and a ceiling of 12.7mm plasterboard completes the structure. The roof construction attains a ext FAA fire rating to BS476 part 3 1975 and the ceiling has a class O classification to the building regulations part B appendix A. The roof is laid to falls with the uPVC gutters and downpipes being sit fixed after the assembly of the modules.
Roof Options
Alternative roofing can be 3 layer felt if required, or a pitched and tiled roof using lightweight tiles to give the building a permanent look.
External Doors
External door frames are aluminium with wool pile draught strips. Exterior doors are 838 x 1081mm solid core ply flush and are hung on 3 butt hinges and fitted with SAA lever furniture mortice lock and latch. Doors are finished with primer, undercoat and gloss paint. Panic bars and door closers etc. can be fitted if required.
External Door Options
Doors can be solid or half glazed with GWPP, GWRC or laminated glass. Double glazed and made of uPVC, aluminium or timber construction.
