This procedure may also apply (at NHBC’s discretion) to other combinations of timber framed wall panels. Design that follows the guidance below will be acceptable for external walls of timber framed dwellings, substantially timber framed dwellings and wall panels. This Chapter applies to timber framed walls up to three storeys high.
