Timber Frame Construction is quite similar to concrete cavity wall construction as the outer leaf remains as masonry, a 50mm cavity is installed, with the only difference being a timber frame internal leaf.
The timber frame wall consists of timber stud framework, with insulation between each stud, which is sheeted with either Plywood or Oriented Strand Board (OSB).
A breather membrane and vapour check/airtightness membrane can then be fixed to the plywood or OSB.
A Service Cavity is often added on the interior to provide room for the services of the house to be installed.
This consists of battens being attached to the plywood or OSB, again with insulation fitted between each batten, with a finishing plasterboard put in place.

The combined protection provided by the vapour barrier (internally) and the breather membrane (externally) ensures the timber inner leaf remains dry at all times.
