TRA Spandrel Panel Guide

Important new roofing guidance endorsed by the NHBC has been published by the Trussed Rafter Association (TRA), designed to reduce the risks, costs and waste from poor spandrel panel construction by housebuilders. In a recent NHBC survey of 8,000 new homes sites, about 17% were already using spandrel panels. Trussed roof manufacturers report increasing interest in these offsite components, especially from large and volume housebuilders building low-rise housing and apartments. The new guide for masonry-built homes provides evidence-based technical best practice on the design, structural requirements, fire and acoustic performance, weather protection and safe installation of spandrel panels. It is available now as a free download from the TRA website. The guide has been developed by the TRA in association with the NHBC and the Structural Timber Association (STA) and will receive further updates following the outcome of further fire testing, currently being undertaken with the STA. The TRA and NHBC will also be providing further updates on gable detailing later this year.
