Sole Plates Taylor Lane uses standard platform frame construction. This
utilises a soleplate to provide an accurate template onto which the
timber frame can be nailed. It also secures the DPC in position,
protecting it from damage. The number of layers of sole plates required
is determined by whether insulation is used in the ground floor make
up.
Sole
plates are either shot fired to the concrete slab (single sole plate),
fixed down using soleplate angles or drilled and plugged. The different
construction details are covered in more depth in our standard details
which can be accessed through our login section of this site.
The
soleplates are treated with a preservative (VAC VAC) to prevent
deterioration of the timbers. Sole and Top plates lap with the frames
to help tie the whole structure together.
