Taylor Lane’s Ultimate and Advanced closed timber frame panels are now NHBC Accepted systems.

Each innovative panel system is deemed to meet the stringent requirements of the National House Building Council (NHBC) and is approved for use in the construction of new homes with NHBC warranty and insurance.

As a proven and trusted provider of MMC Category 2 timber frame Taylor Lane is one of just a handful of timber frame companies in the UK to gain NHBC Accepts certification.

NHBC Accepts explained

This initiative is designed to keep pace with changes in UK home building as developers seek to increase volume and overcome material and labour challenges by adopting modern methods of construction, such as timber frame.  NHBC Accepts is a review service for these innovative systems.

The NHBC Accepts logo is awarded following a rigorous assessment during which NHBC considers if the innovative system meets its robust standards and demonstrates that, subject to design and installation, it can be used in homes covered by all our warranty products.

Once accepted, the NHBC continues to review quality through regular factory and site inspections and seeks feedback from those working with the system on-site.

Jon Lane, managing director of Taylor Lane Timber Frame comments:

“We are very proud that after a robust and successful assessment, the NHBC has awarded both our Advanced and Ultimate timber frame panel systems the NHBC Accepts certificate.  We know we manufacture high quality products, and now our customers can feel assured of this too.”

NHBC Technical Innovation Manager, Chris Hall says:

“We are delighted to welcome Taylor Lane Timber Frame Limited to NHBC Accepts. We know from feedback that once a system is given the NHBC Accepts green light that this creates confidence in quality, long-term durability and traceability.

“With the demands on the industry to increase the volume of new homes and the simultaneous challenges around materials and skills, we are at a critical stage in the development of MMC. We are proud to be using our scale, expertise and knowledge of traditional house building to work with manufacturers to provide the confidence that innovative systems can meet and sometimes exceed the same high standards of quality and durability as traditionally-built homes.”
