Looking for one good reason to help you make up your mind? We’ve got a few other reasons to help you..

We’re committed to quality. We’re always on the lookout for ways to improve on what we do, whether that’s the materials we use, the services we offer or the way we build our homes.

Our attention to detail is what makes us unique.

Our houses are tailored to you. Every Evolution™ house is a one off, we don’t do standard designs. So whether you want your new home to be modern or traditional, or built in a creative style, we have you covered. Whatever you’re looking for, we’re certain we can create the home you’ve always wanted. We love efficiency, low energy buildings and cost effectiveness in our designs so we offer four types of construction systems for you to choose from:

• Closed panel timber frame options

• Advanced S.I.P’s Panels

• Insulated Concrete Formwork

• Cross Laminated Timber

Evolved Evolution™ Shell This is where we supply a complete building shell which will be fully glazed, with all the external doors fully insulated and rendered to your requirements externally. An insulated roof, tiled and guttering installed. With high impact sound and thermal mass first floors, all the internal walls, including a standard raft foundation or a highly efficient insulated raft system, to reduce heat loss through the ground floor, giving you a completely watertight building, high thermally-efficient walls, low airtightness, all combined in a high-strength construction, offering better than Building Regulation minimum requirements for you to take over and complete the fit out to your own specification.

Evolved Evolution™ Shell Plus+This system offers you the same system as the Evolved Evolution™ Shell system but built to achieve a Passivhaus performance level, adding to the overall performance of your build where it matters, in the fabric of your house. Passivhaus or Energy-plus houses, no problem, we’re happy to build those. But what else do we do. We work closely with our clients and take their individual needs seriously.

The Evolved Group are the ideal partner to help you make that dream a reality.

Do you dream of building your own home?

Evolution™ Complete and the Evolution™ Complete Plus+. This takes the two Shell offerings and we take care of all the internal fit out, lighting, heating system, hot water requirements, the bathrooms, kitchens, floor and wall tiles, decoration, internal doors, smart home technology, in fact everything to complete your home, so all you have to do is move in.

Evolved Evolution™ Complete and Complete Plus+Not everybody wants to do all the work themselves but still wants a custom home built to their design and their specification, therefore we have introduced two further building options to the Evolution™ range.

We are fully checked We are fully checked and certified for the products we use and we invite external regulatory bodies to carry out regular checks of the construction to ensure that the materials we and our suppliers use not only meet but exceed legally mandatory standards.

Committed to safetyWe’re also committed to the safety of our employees, going above and beyond by working to the mandatory CDM Regulation 2015 which guarantees that our construction sites and production processes meet the requirements of the Health and Safety Management System.

We’ve got nothing to hideAll of our designs, calculations, floor plans and production documents are stored electronically, so if you ever want to convert, sell or renovate your home – even long after the warranty has expired – you can.

We’re sustainableThe majority of the building systems we offer have been tried and tested for many years in Northern Europe. Much of the manufacture of these systems is now in the UK, meeting UK standards and being approved by UK mortgage lenders.

We’re there for youMost design and build construction companies don’t have an in-house client team and a dedicated after-sales department. We do and there’s no 'ifs' or 'buts' either. We go the extra mile. When it comes to our clients, we pride ourselves in going above and beyond the basic legal requirements, carrying out regular surveys to find out what you really think. But, don’t take our word for it – why not find out for yourself?

Offering maximum energy efficiency, we also need to comply with other standards of performance and the systems we use have approval from various independent bodies in the UK and in Europe.

We are proud of the homes that we Design and Build and we want to ensure that you are too.

Why choose us? Our employees are highly experiencedWe have our own building division, Carbon System Homes Ltd, to complete the work for you using only trained staff in all aspects of building technology from specialist air source heating engineers, hot water engineers, PV installers, through to qualified and experienced carpenters and electricians, therefore all our key staff are drawn from our own resources including our contracts manager who has been building and developing homes for over 10 years.

Our in house architectural design and structural engineering team for new homes, is all done by our fully accredited team of specialists in all aspects of construction to ensure that what we design and build will meet or better all mandatory regulations laid down by planners and building control for your area, as well as being able to offer you a warranted system of build providing you with 10 Years for the superstructure.

Your build will be Future ProofAll our designs can be supplied as standard with an Air-Source heat pump, or we can offer a gas boiler if required. Both use only tried and tested systems that offer plenty of flexibility, add to this the use of a MVHR system throughout, to remove any condensation within the building while maintaining the air quality to be as pure as possible, but we also combine this system with our method of providing hot water, by ducting from the hot zones all the energy within this waste heat into a smart water tank, so no additional heat is required to provide hot water in the future.

You decide which method of innovative fuel-cell technology you want and we build it in.

We’re problem-solvers!Everything in your house will be carefully constructed by our in-house team of, engineers, architects and structural experts. You’ll choose your fittings with the helping hand of our specialist knowledge but we will be willing to offer as much flexibility as possible, offering more than just a 'one-size fits-all' solution.

Planned to the smallest detailStep by Step Guiding you to your new home

Our mission is to make building your home as straightforward as possible, so we’ll be there to guide you every step of the way. For us, each project begins long before we start constructing the walls with planning meetings with our specialist architectural designer, where we’ll discuss your ideas for your new home in depth, to drafting detailed drawings and making structural calculations in line with building regulations, we’ll take care of the awkward (but essential) details.

We take care of..• Pre-planning and site specific designs to suit you

• Planning permission for your home

• CDM health and safety legislation

• Building regulations submission, including SAP energy assessments

What we offerPreliminary designs and budget quoteAfter discussing your needs, our architectural design team will work with you to put together your design, using it as the basis for a budget price quotation to ensure what is wanted is affordable to fit with your budget.

Detailed designs for planning and building regulation and cost to buildOur architectural design team will develop the details required to secure planning and building regulation approval, to then develop a confirmed price for the work to your design and specification.

Where possible, this will be a fixed cost for the supply and erection, based on either the Evolution™ Shell or Evolution™ Shell Plus+ scheme.

Where the Evolution™ Complete or Evolution™ Complete Plus+ schemes are being offered, these will be costed on the basis for a budget price quotation to be confirmed once a full specification has been decided with the client as to the finishing specification.

Structural CalculationsWe will carry out the structural calculations for your home, including for your garage, carport and/or roofing (assuming they’re part of the contract) based on regional requirements, the project will be constructed to cope with a wind load of up to 0.65 kN/m2 and a snow load of up to 1.5 kN/m2, while the windows will have a B3-level wind resistance class. Any requirements in excess of this are considered and calculated on a case-by-case basis. We produces load plans and drawings for the basement ceiling and floor slab, and we will design and supply the engineer designing slab and foundations of your house.

Production PlansProduction factory drawings at 1:50 scale, as well as an associated production report. Before your fittings consultation, we’ll give you the plans so you can prepare for what you want where for fit-out part. The plans contain detailed technical drawings and structural information that correspond to the scope of service agreed in the contract, for instance regarding heating, plumbing, ventilation and wiring.

Your fittings consultationWe offer products from a wide range of manufacturers, so you can take your time browsing their catalogues, or work with our nominated suppliers to develop your requirements, you’re not limited to the products we can supply. We make every effort to fulfil special requests.

CDM 2015We take away the stress of navigating complex CDM 2015 health and safety legislation by assuming the role of Principal Designers and for our on site work principal contractor for the duration of your Evolution™ build, and by recommending a competent professional to oversee the health and safety aspects of the project in the principal designer/contractor role.

15

Initial Consultation and Advance InspectionFirstly we’ll visit your building plot with you to look and advise on what can be built. There may be additional requirements that emerge from this process, for instance ground surveys, topography reports, ecology, bats or other endangered species reports which will be required. As soon as all contractual requirements have been met (planning permission building regulations received etc) we’ll discuss and document in detail all requirements relating to the construction of your house on-site.

Construction Management, Supervision and SupportFor all services provided as part of our contract with you, we will assume responsibility for site management. After your house is complete, you or our construction manager will conduct a formal handover from us. Everything we do will be checked and accurately documented in an handover report.

Site Set-upWe’ll assume responsibility for setting up the site, providing a waste container for packaging, welfare facilities, toilets, safety perimeter fencing and disposal of residual waste. The scaffolding we put up will meet all relevant requirements based on the agreed contract with you.

AssemblyWe’ll deliver your home by truck to your construction site, no matter how far it is. We’ll also arrange the crane, tools and machinery our assembly team needs to start building your Evolution™ Home.

Air Tightness Inspection (Blower door test)We carry out a blower door test as a standard part of our SAP calculations. The building’s air change rate is measured using differential pressure: a ventilator creates negative pressure inside the house and uses the volume of air flowing in from outside to measure air-tightness.

Technical DocumentationWe’ll draw up documentation for the draft SAP report, the airtightness test and the final SAP calculation. We’ll also submit this information to the relevant building authorities.

Our Guarantee/WarrantyWe offer a 10 year latent defects warranty on the building structure of your home. Additional warranties can be offered against the total system supplied which can be discussed when required.

Passivhaus SystemOn request we can offer individual solutions for planning and implementing accessible home designs that will meet a higher standard than the baseline required by local building regulations. Accessible designs generally make for a greater level of comfort, enjoy a better quality of life in your new home. Insurance CoverFrom the moment assembly begins to the point where you’re handed the keys to your home, we bear the risks for carrying out all services agreed in the contract.

Evolution™ timber frame Complete System

Our thermally efficient, air tight wall system combines reliable construction with excellent insulation. The timber frame is bonded to high-grade OSB board using hot adhesive and pressure.

As an additional lining to the inside of the walls will allow you to put up shelving or cupboards anywhere, on any wall, in any room, with just a few screws – no drilling or dowels required. The clear room height (finished height) in the lower and upper storeys is approximately 2.4 metres, measured from the upper edge of the finished floor to the lower edge of the finished ceiling. Higher ceilings – up to 2.7metres, for instance are possible on request. Around the plinth high-grade base sealing ensures a seal between the exterior wall and the basement/floor slab. Gardens and patio surfaces can be laid close to the lower edge of the metal tray without danger of water penetration.

The External Wall insulation is applied and finished on site to ensure that your home is finished to the highest standard.

Evolution™ timber frame systems

• Vapour barrier with a 30mm Service Void

• 12.5mm plasterboard, screwed to the OSB board if specified

• The thermal insulation at the bottom of the wall fits into a metal tray, which protects the insulation and ensures a neat finish

Exterior walls on the lower and upper floors How our exterior walls are constructed, from the outside in:• Approx. 2mm silicone render available in a range of colours, alternately a brick effect render finish can be applied

• Approx. 3mm reinforcing render with glass fibre tissue

• 150mm external wall insulation

• 8mm OSB board, bonded to the timber frame across it’s whole surface

RoofsNo other part of a house has a more significant impact on the energy efficiency of your home than the building envelope, not only are our walls exceptionally well insulated, but our roofs are too: they’ll keep the house warmer in winter and cooler in summer.

Roofs for every taste Roofs put a decisive stamp on the character of a house.

Gable roofs are a timeless classic, and can be constructed with a variety of inclines. Hipped roofs and mono-pitch roofs are especially well suited to two-storey properties or bungalows. Whatever style of roof you choose, we’ve got the details covered – and you can be sure we’ve put them into practice thousands of times before.

Every roof is constructed by skilled carpenters out of solid wood. We use advanced tools and qualified craftspeople to make them, ensuring exceptional quality and accuracy of fit. Roof structure consists of solid, kiln-dried softwood – planed, high-quality structural timber – as well as elements made of glued laminated timber, depending on structural requirements.

Rectangular supports and joists visible from the outside (such as porches, balconies or carports) are constructed from high-quality glued laminated timber. All externally visible building elements will be given a protective coating of your choice.

Carpenter-made roof structure from quality-checked, sustainably sourced solid wood and glued laminated timber.

Standard snow load of up to 1.5 kN/m2, depending on local requirements.

Roof design, from classic to modernWe can offer a range of roof coverings from concrete and clay to slate or steel that suits your design and planning permission.

How our roofs are constructed:

• Concrete roof tiles in a range of colours

• Battens

• Counter-battening

• Vapour-permeable membrane for the highest possible protection against wind-driven snow and dust

• 240mm rafters, depending on structural requirements

• 240mm thermal Insulation (mineral wool insulation, with additional internal or external insulation to achieve the thermal performance required

• Vapour barrier


• 12.5mm fire-protective plasterboard For higher thermal performance, additional insulated plasterboard can be installed to the inner face of the rafters or, for additional thermal mass, dense insulation board can be added as over rafter insulation.

Drainage Design of the roof drainage system:

• Gable roofs, hipped roofs, mono-pitch roofs and mansard roofs come with semi-circular guttering

• Upper storey balconies come with box gutters

• Gutters, valleys, gutter brackets, drainpipes as well as flashing components and moulded parts are made of metal or uPVC

21

I.C.F (insulated concrete framework)What is I.C.F?I.C.F (Insulated Concrete Framework) is based on hollow lightweight insulated block components that can be locked together without the requirement for mortar to form a construction formwork frame. The space within the framework is then poured with concrete, creating a structurally strong concrete property with exceptionally high thermal properties. Webbing within the blocks tie the sides of the blocks together as well as allowing for reinforcement bars to be installed.

Designing the ultimate energy efficient house with JUB HomeUsing the JUB Home ICF system is not only a highly efficient, economical method of building, but also the exceptional thermal levels achieved with the wall blocks, JUB Home is the ideal choice for achieving Passive House standards and reducing energy consumption costs.

The Jub Home system can also consist of future insulated raft system and JUB Home roof which provides not only high thermal performance, but also produces and airtight shell.

When designing and building a high thermal performance property, care and consideration should be undertaken with elements such as windows and doors as well as heat recovery and underfloor heating.

Thermal efficiency is not the only requirement for your property, you also require the building to impress and you never get a second change to make a first impression. JUB has been a manufacturer of renders and paints for over 140 years and provide the highest quality rendering systems to ensure your property has the appearance is deserves as well as reducing ongoing maintenance. With our range of washable paints and the highly decorative polished plasters, designing the ultimate house has become much easier and with greater peace of mind as you are dealing with a single company for so many of your requirements.

The JUB Home system is installed by approved contractors, such as Carbon System Homes Ltd, to ensure that the build process is as efficient and cost effective as possible.

JUB Home is also partnered with BLP Insurance for the building warranty scheme which also ensures less delays and problems with the administration of the build process.

Future insulated foundation is assembled upon a layer of lean concrete with a bituminous waterproof membrane. All services are brought through the base before the JUB base components are laid down.The blocks are cut to allow for the services and all openings sealed.

Reinforcement is installed across the foundation before the casting of the foundation takes place. Once the casting has been completed and levelled then the next stage can begin.

The JUB WALL components are all identified and installed in accordance with JUB Home site building plan. All closure plates will be fitted to seal off areas such as the windows and doors and prevent concrete leakage.

Lintel and building dimensional blocks are installed where required ready for the first concrete pour at the top of the ground floor level. The structure is based prior to the concrete pour, the JUB Home specification for the concrete has a higher slump level than other ICF systems which means the pour rate is quicker. This is achieved due to the excellent strength qualities of an uncut system.

Once the JUB WALL has been constructed to roof level, then the space for the services on the internal walls can be cut out. It is recommended that a hot wire cutter is used for this to cut the channels out cleanly.

When the services have been installed and the roof is complete the internal plastering/rendering can commence. JUB Home recommends it’s base coat with glass fibre reinforcing mesh for added strength before using the Jubolin plaster finish internally.

The external render system used should be compatible with ICF blocks and JUB Home recommends it’s base coat with reinforcing mesh (6mm) and one of the many topcoat renders. If the blocks have been exposed to sunlight for one month prior to the rendering taking place then it is recommended that the surface is rasped to remove the UV film which can affect the adhesion of the render.

The 4Wall Advanced Structurally Insulated Panel (S.I.P’s) system is a thermally more efficient alternative to other off-site panel systems.

4Wall provides a full chemically bonded panel with outstanding `U` values, airtightness and strength. As well as the added benefits of being fire resistant, undamaged by water, an integrated wiring conduit in every panel and no internal plaster boarding required.

The 4Wall external panel system is faced using a magnesium oxide board, making it capable of accepting a direct finish using render or brick slips, timber or other cladding products to give a slim, finished wall with an excellent thermal and airtightness performance.

The 4Wall system requires NO membranes (inside or outside) to achieve its high level of performance.

Why choose 4Wall?

• Zero thermal bridging in the dwelling.

• Fireproof – excellent fire resistance during and after building

• Airtight – no need for additional tapes or membranes

• Excellent thermal performance – from 0.09 W/m2k

• Ultimate design strength – can carry concrete flooring systems

• Waterproof – designed to cope with flood conditions

• No infestation risk – resistant to rodents and insects

• Cost competitive – compared to other off-site systems

The 4Wall panel is 185mm thick with a structural galvanised C section bedded vertically within the insulation panels to give it is structurally strength and durability. The insulation is foamed around the steel section ensuring that there are no thermal bridges or ‘cold spot’s within the panel construction.

With brick slips With timber cladding

The 4Wall external wall panel has a thickness of 185mm, if required, additional insulation can be added to the external face of the panel to provide a higher level of insulation. This surface would then be able to carry the external façade.

4Walls has been designed to be used as a monolithic construction but can also be used in a standard cavity construction with a brick or stone external leaf.

How it goes together 4Walls can be used with any standard foundation system. As with all factory engineered systems, the need for precision is required. For homes building to a low energy or Passivhaus specification, we would recommend the use of the Future Foundation system to provide the complete thermal envelope. The 4Wall panels are inserted into a steel track which has been mechanically fastened to the timber sole plates with a damp proof membrane underneath.

The panels are designed so that the insulation over-sails the steel channel to eliminate cold bridging.

The 4Wall panels are then connected on the vertical joints using a thermal fin.

Service conduit runs within every panel, so that you have complete design flexibility in your room layouts.

Internal walls and intermediate floors

The 4Wall systems can be used with either timber or concrete internal systems.

If using timber stud walls for the ground and first floor, we would recommend the use of metal web joists. Alternately, if using block work walls, then a concrete or timber floor can be used.

Both systems would be finished with a lightweight self-levelling screed with underfloor heating pipes installed as part of the Evolution™ turnkey solution.

RoofsWe can offer a range of roofing solutions to work with the 4Walls system using traditional trusses or purling systems to provide a room in the roof. This will be designed to suit your home.

Technical detailing, including for all wall, floor and roof junctions, are contained with the KIWA BDA Agremont certificate: BDA Agrément® BAW 18-079/01/A

The 4Wall System also has LABC System Approval and Warranty.

Cross Laminated Timber:The use of timber has always been an obvious choice for house building in the UK.Using a sustainable, natural product guarantees a healthy and comfortable living environment.

Walls, ceilings, roofing and even stairs and interior finishes using our Laminated Timber (CLT) Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) or X-Lam - Wood are natural.

The wooden elements provide a natural sense of living and can offer, in particular through our exclusive visible surfaces, almost limitless possibilities.

Being designed and built off-site provides speed in the construction and a high energy efficiency of the building.

Our partners, FHS Holzbau GMBH, offer a modern factory production, their facilities are solely for the design and construction of Cross Laminated Timber.

Wood is our passion. Technology as well!

FHS timber are convinced that a high-quality building must be built now and in the future using solid wood construction and by a timber specialist. And that’s where we come in as an “extended workbench” and partner in the background with our services with Evolved Design Homes.

We have more than 30 years of experience in the processing of softwood and hardwood with modern facilities specialising in all forms of cross laminated timber structures using all types of wood such as oak, pine, larch and white pine. Our machinery processes and produces the components 3 dimensionally.

Living in a Cross Laminated Timber Frame house without plastic insulation is affordable!

The FutureCross Laminated Timber consists of solid, kilm dried slats of softwood (spruce). These lamellae are arranged into an arrangement of crosswise stacked board layers of three, five or seven-glued sheets. FHS timber only uses formaldehyde-free polyurethane glue.

Dimension Stable, for highest demandsWhether single or multi-family houses or commercial buildings: Components of Cross Laminated Timber remain dimensionally stable and accurate through the “cross connection” and are ideal for bespoke and standard designs of buildings with the highest standards.

Cross Laminated Timber Components are prefabricated individually in the factory. This means that all the openings and recesses for doors, windows, pipes, sockets, etc. are factory-fitted precisely for our CNC alignment. A typical single-family house can be erected and weatherproof in two to three working days.

Healthy, Comfortable room climate without plasticIn the cross laminated wood we use uniformly fullsurface elements in the wall, ceiling and roof area. Quite different from the wood-frame in timber framed houses, and without plastic films (vapour barriers). By cross bonding the longitudinal layers, the three layer cross laminated timber become naturally airtight. Homes that are built using cross laminated timber are vapour permeable constructions when used in conjunction with wood fibre insulation and gypsum fibre boards as wall claddings. This enables them to absorb moisture from the air, store and release it again. This property has a balancing effect on indoor air humidity, so that in the building maintains a regular humidity level.

Impressive InsulationThe standard construction of a wall uses 300mm of Cross Laminated Timber, which provides a thermal performance U value of 0.18 W/m2k.

For improved insulation performance, an additional layer of wood fibre insulation can be applied to the outer surface. This provides an extra thermal overcoat that can be finished with a cladding or mineral render finish.

Outstanding Sound Insulation Components of cross laminated wood provide excellent sound insulation because of their solid construction. The values are dependent on the wall or ceiling structures. In practice, the base structure has been proven with a 50 to 70mm thick cement screed.

Fire risk compared with other building materials Buildings constructed from cross laminated wood are no more risky than houses made of mineral building materials. Preventive measures of fire safety and compliance with fire safety regulations ensure that buildings of cross composite wood have no special fire risk. A 3-layer, 100mm thick wall panel cross composite wood with a wood fibre insulation, a layer of plaster, as well as a gypsum board on the inside can be classified in the fire resistance class REI 90 (Flammability cross composite wood: D-s2, d0).

26

Infestation and Fungal AttackComponents of cross composite wood are used only for the construction of heated and ventilated enclosed buildings and are not designed to be exposed to the weather, therefore, they are not subjected to moistening and are not in ground or ion contact with water. Wood protection is used to eliminate the risks of fungal attack.

High Life and ImpairmentThe “technical service life” of structures of composite wood cross is 80-100 years, compared to other construction types. The “total life” then is also significantly higher. Even banks and insurance companies recognize the differences from a conventional (wood) construction.

There are many reasons for building with our Cross Laminated wood. The most important are:

• Excellent Thermal Mass for walls, ceiling and Roof elements consist of sheet-like timber slices (cross composite wood)

• Building with cross bracing wood is accurate, fast and easy

• Very fast construction, easy installation

• Provides individuality in architecture and design

• Technically approved and certified construction product with regular monitoring of the production process)

• Very tailored and dimensionally stable components

• Lighter than conventional materials

• Impairment and lifespan

• Impressive thermal insulation

• Healthy, comfortable living environment

• No requirement for additional tapes and membranes for air tightness.

• Fire risk comparable to mineral building materials

• Excellent sound insulation

• Ecologically sustainable construction

• Gain in net living space compared to conventional construction methods

• All components are prefabricated in our factory. For example, all openings and recesses for doors, windows, ducts, electrical outlets, handling and lifting equipment are fitted in the factory in consultation with our customers.

A normal family house can be weather proof with our construction within three working days!

The Evolved Group SmartWall™ building system utilises a monolithic clay block system bringing you a modern method of construction with thin joint adhesive technology.

The design of the blocks is such that they require no mortar or adhesive on the interlocking vertical joints. The fired, aerated clay blocks are manufactured to a tolerance of 1mm in height and come as a complete system that includes lintels, corner and shaped blocks, insulated mortar, adhesive and applicators.

These structural blocks have been used for many years across Europe and are suitable for load bearing and non-load bearing walls, for external and internal applications. They have full approval and comply to BS EN 771-1 and carry the CE mark with an A1 fire rating.

SmartWall™ systems

SmartWall™ benefits

• Excellent thermal performance

• Meets and exceeds building regulation requirements

• Quick construction time

• Single solid wall construction

• Modern method of construction

• Thin bed mortar technology

• Complete building system

• 90% less moisture in construction

• Completely vapour permeable

• External insulation to give that ‘tea cosy’ effect

Clay is possibly one of the most sustainable materials used in construction. It is a natural material that it easy to work with and provides a comfortable living environment.

The SmartWall™ system can self-regulate humidity levels within a building. It also provides a better thermal performance than other similar materials.

The design of the blocks provides excellent thermal mass making it the perfect solution in avoiding summer overheating in new homes.

36

SmartWall™ System Explained The SmartWall™ system delivers a much faster build time. The thin joint adhesive allows you to continually work without being restricted to the number of lifts in a day, on average, up 40sqm can be achieved per person per day.

SmartWall™, being a monolithic building system, means that you have just one skin for your building structure, no cavity, therefore minimising areas for complicated detailing.

With standard masonry systems, drying out can be problematic in the UK climate. The adhesive layer helps to reduce moisture in the building by over 90%, this, coupled with the faster build time, means that your building can be roofed and weathertight in a much shorter time.

Efficiencies and PerformanceThe SmartWall™ building system has a superior thermal performance compared to other similar products, making it easy to achieve Building Regulation requirements without the need for additional wall insulation or increase in foundation size.

The thermal performance of SmartWall™ together with the density of the blocks, provide excellent thermal mass. Too many modern homes face the risk of summer overheating. The SmartWall™ system provides warmth in Winter and comfort in Summer. The clay will also regulate humidity levels within the home and it is recommended that a mineral plaster finish is applied directly to the blocks to maximise this performance.

Air tightness is achieved by applying a ‘parge’ coat of wet plaster or a direct mineral plaster finish to the complete wall area, including the sections that are out of sight, to the inner face of the blocks. This is a standard method of achieving good air tightness and recommended by the Passivhaus Institute.

By applying a vapour open render finish to the external surface of the blocks, coupled with the mineral plaster inner finish, SmartWall™ provides a complete vapour open system. Thermal modelling shows that interstitial condensation will not form within the construction.

The SmartWall™ system provides a thermal bridge free method of building when used in conjunction with the Future Insulated Foundation system. Together they provide a complete thermal envelope.

Finishing the blocks internally and externally

Internally, a complete wet plaster ‘parging’ coat layer should be applied to provide good airtightness if plasterboard is being used, before a finishing coat of mineral plaster is applied.

A parging coat is not required if the mineral plaster finish is being directly applied to the blocks. External wall areas between floors should always have a parging coat applied whatever finishing material is being used, to provide good airtightness throughout.

Externally, the SmartWall™ can be directly rendered using a ‘vapour open’ system, such as a polymer-based Silicone or Silicate renders. Alternatively, a lime-based product could be used. Depending on the level of thermal efficiency required, the SmartWall™ External Wall insulation system can be applied as well as render, this can also be finished with a brick slip or brick effect render system. SmartWall™ can also be finished using timber or other decorative cladding boards.

Being manufactured from clay, the SmartWall™ blocks have an inherently good fire performance and have a rating of A1 reaction to fire.

How it goes togetherThe SmartWall™ System has been developed so that it doesn’t require skilled bricklayers to achieve a good result and we can offer an ‘on-site’ training program if required.

The first layer of SmartWall™ blocks is laid onto the damp proof membrane layer and bedded using an insulated mortar. It is critical that this layer of blocks is accurately placed and level in all planes. The full-size blocks are interlocked on the vertical joint and only if a block has been cut is there a need to use the insulated mortar on the vertical cut joint. The blocks are easily cut using an oscillating saw.

The adhesive mortar is supplied dry and needs to be mixed on site with clean water using a paddle mixer. We advise not to mix more than is needed, as the adhesive will set much faster than a standard sand/cement mortar.

The adhesive is then poured into the applicator and applied to the top face of the blocks. An even 1-2mm of adhesive will be delivered as a single pass, and this is sufficient to bond the blocks together.

The SmartWall™ system comes complete with corner and wall junction blocks as well as concrete or steel lintels, depending on the size of the openings.

Finishing the blocks Externally, the SmartWall™ can be directly rendered using a ‘vapour open’ system, such as a polymer-based Silicone or Silicate renders. Alternatively, a lime-based product could be used. Depending on the level of thermal efficiency required, the SmartWall™ External Wall insulation system can be applied. As well as render, this can also be finished with a brick slip or brick effect render system.

SmartWall™ can also be finished using timber or other decorative cladding boards.

39

Chasing in services into the SmartWall™ BlocksSubsequent caulking is not permitted according to DIN 1053 (generally applicable to masonry). Only the wall chaser ensures that the defined slot depth is achieved.

Furthermore: Maintain as great as distance as possible to highly loaded masonry sections (e.g. under lintels), avoid cutting slots in narrow piers, cut horizontal slots max. 40 cm above the floor or below the ceiling.

Permissible slots and chases in load-bearing walls without verification

1) Horizontal and diagonal slots are only permissible in a region ≤ 0.4m above and below the slab as well as on one wall side each. They are not permissible for horizontally perforated clay blocks.

2) Minimum distance from openings in longitudinal direction: ≥ 490mm, from the next horizontal slot: twice the slot length. 3) The depth can be increased by 10mm if tools with precise depth control are used. If such tools are used, slots 10mm in depth can be cut opposite each other on both sides of walls ≥ 240mm. 4) Slots extending to max. 1m above the floor may have depths of max. 80mm and widths of max. 120mm for wall thicknesses ≥ 240mm. 5) The total width of slots according to columns 5 and 7 must not exceed the dimensions given in column 7 per each 2m of wall length. For wall lengths of less than 2m, the values in column 7 should be decreased in proportion to the wall length.

The Future Foundation System The Future Foundation system is an insulated raft system that will work in conjunction with the SmartWall™ and other methods of construction.

The high-density insulation encompasses a reduced amount of reinforced concrete to provide the complete thermal envelope and is suitable for most soil conditions. Evolved Group would always recommend that a Geo-technical land survey is undertaken to ascertain the correct system for your plot of land.

Internal WallsWhen using SmartWall™ system, it is usual to build the ground and lower floor internal walls using the 100mm or 140mm SmartWall™ blocks. The width of the block you use will depend on the load bearing requirements of your design, and we can advise on that.

Upper floor internal walls are usually constructed using a timber stud and plasterboard system with mineral wool insulation fitted between the studs to provide acoustic performance.

Finishing the blocks internally and externallyInternally the blocks can be finished using a parging coat with plasterboard and skim finish or, alternately, a mineral plaster finish can be directly applied to the blocks in order to maintain the thermal mass benefits and breathable nature of the construction.

Externally, the SmartWall™ can be directly rendered using a ‘vapour open’ system, such as a polymer based Silicone or Silicate renders, alternately a lime based product could be used. Depending on the level of thermal efficiency you are wanting to achieve, the SmartWall™ External Wall insulation system can be applied. As well as render, this can also be finished with a brick slip or brick effect render system. SmartWall™ can also be finished using timber or other decorative cladding boards.

Floors and CeilingsWe use only high-quality products and materials in our ceilings, like durable OSB board up to EN 300 standards and joists made from kiln-dried solid structural timber.

How our floors are constructed on the lower storey, from bottom to top:

• Moisture barrier (with floor slab)

• 150mm thermal insulation (PUR) or insulated Future Foundation System

• Underfloor heating with wet screed

• Flooring finishes

•The thermal insulation value of the floor on the lower storey (in houses with floor slabs) is dependant on the system adopted

• Improved thermal performance can be achieved by using the Evolved Future Floor insulated raft system

Floors to Inhabited Upper Storeys

For improved acoustic performance, additional insulation between joists can be installed.Pre-cast hollow core concrete units provide more thermal mass into the structure and provide a fast track, dry method of achieving an immediate working area with excellent loading capacity. The units come with preformed holes for services.

The concrete units come in a range of depths dependant on the spanning requirements.

How our upper floor ceilings and Intermediate floors are constructed:There are two systems that we recommend for use as intermediate floors in domestic applications.

1. Metal Web Joists2. Hollow Rib concrete flooring.

Metal web flooring provides a good acoustic performance and is also able to provide excellent spanning for open plan living. The metal webs also make for easy installation of services and ventilation ducting.

The joists can either sit on walls or, more usual, be installed using joist hangers from the inside.

A liquid screed finish is applied to both systems to provide additional thermal mass. The underfloor heating system can be installed into this layer.

RoofsNo other part of a house has a more significant impact on the energy efficiency of your home than the building envelope, not only are our walls exceptionally well insulated, but our roofs are too: they’ll keep the house warmer in winter and cooler in summer. Roofs for every taste Roofs put a decisive stamp on the character of a house. Gable roofs are a timeless classic, and can be constructed with a variety of inclines. Hipped roofs and mono-pitch roofs are especially well suited to two-storey properties or bungalows. Whatever style of roof you choose, we’ve got the details covered - and you can be sure we’ve put them into practice thousands of times before.

Carpenter-made roof structure from quality checked, sustainably sourced solid wood and glued laminated timber. Standard snow load of up to 1.5 kN/m², depending on local requirements.

All of the roof structures we supply are manufactured and engineered to the highest quality whether we utilise a cut roof system or pre-manufactured roof trusses.

46

Roof design, from classic to modernWe can offer a range of roof coverings from concrete and clay to slate or steel that suits your design and planning permission.

47

Roof OverhangDesign of the roof overhang:The underside of eaves and verges (or beneath the roof ridge for mono-pitch roofs) are clad in profiled natural wood. You can choose the colour of the final treatment of the wood cladding from a range.

If the house has additional cladding (such as wood or brick) or thicker thermal insulation, the roof overhang will be proportionally smaller, depending on how thick the facade or insulation is.

Drainage Design of the roof drainage system:• Gable roofs, hipped roofs, mono-pitch roofs and mansard roofs come with semi-circular guttering

• Upper storey balconies come with box gutters

• Gutters, valleys, gutter brackets, drainpipes as well as flashing components and moulded parts are made of uPVC or metal

• Drainpipes (round) are taken from the guttering to the lowest point of the SmartWall™ the top of the floor slab or a basement

48

How our roofs are constructed

• Slate or concrete roof tiles in a range of colours

• Battens

• Counter-battening

• Vapour-permeable sarking membrane for the highest possible protection against wind-driven snow and dust

• 240mm rafters, depending on structural requirements

• 240mm thermal and sound insulation (mineral wool insulation) between the rafters

• Vapour barrier

• Counter battens

• 12.5mm fire-protective plasterboard

For roofs with purlins, using a jamb wall, the roof space can be enlarged on request. The height of these walls, to be agreed in the floor plans, is calculated from the upper edge of the ceiling cassette element (OSB board) to the upper edge of the up stand wall.

49

Lintels The lintels we supply for the SmartWall™ system have been specifically designed. They are manufactured using a minimum 3.0mm gauge 280N carbon steel with a minimum 43µm zinc coating. Additional splines have been incorporated to provide improved structural strength. Curved and corner lintels can also be supplied. Lintel sizing depends on many factors such as, among others, wall height and weight, type of floor and/or roof and direction of span, the presence of other openings in the wall, the width of the opening concerned and more. It is therefore not possible to give a definitive lintel size before the details of the design are known, and this should be determined by a qualified person. However, as an approximate guide the following may be helpful, but please note that the final size may vary for the reasons stated:

Openings up to 0.9m clear:

190 SmartWall™: 190-75240 SmartWall™: 240-75365 SmartWall™: 365-150

Openings from 0.9m to 1.8m clear: 190 SmartWall™: 190-150240 SmartWall™: 240-150365 SmartWall™: 365-150

Openings from 1.8m to 2.7m clear:

190 SmartWall™: 190-225240 SmartWall™: 240-225365 SmartWall™: 365-225

Larger openings may generally require formal design to determine a suitable lintel and to verify the strength of the masonry supporting it at the ends. For internal wall openings, concrete lintels can be used.
