Fabric First Philosophy

GreyFrame designs and supplies innovative systems and products for the residential construction sector.

Building regulations in Ireland and UK specifically state that “The building fabric should be continuous over the whole building envelope and constructed so that there are no reasonably avoidable thermal bridges in the insulation layers caused by gaps in the various elements”

The European Energy Performance of Buildings Directive has set a goal of achieving a Zero-emission and a fully decarbonised building stock by 2050.

The GreyFrame design philosophy is to deliver a better living environment by ensuring uniform thermal, acoustic and spatial comfort. Taking a fabric first approach to design and installation, creating a structural shell with low U-values, reliable airtightness and no thermal bridging is our priority. We can design low energy or ultra-low energy building concepts which deliver a significantly enhanced living environment while future proofing your investment. Our Design ethos is that we are designing for generations of users to come. We are advocates of both a Fabric First philosophy and long-term durability, using a holistic design process.
