This feature view separates product design intent from validated performance. THOM is progressing from prototype to sellable product, and external claims are deliberately restricted to the evidence currently controlled.
Thermal Architecture
TARGET / VALIDATION PENDING
THOM is designed as a high-performance Building Engineering Envelope with a current external target of approximately R50, subject to final validated specification.
Whole-panel thermal testing is planned using an accredited guarded hot-box route.
No achieved R-value or U-value is currently claimed as validated or certified.
Energy savings and payback outputs should not be treated as validated until thermal evidence is established.
Fire Performance Programme
TESTING PROGRAMME IN PROGRESS
Reaction-to-fire classification and fire resistance are separate controlled workstreams.
EN 13501-1 reaction-to-fire route is being progressed.
EN 1364-1 fire resistance is a separate workstream.
No achieved A1/A2 classification or EI duration is currently claimed.
RF & Acoustic Development
TARGET / VALIDATION PENDING
The conductive hi-grade alloys envelope creates a credible technical basis for RF/EM attenuation, while acoustic performance is being treated as a separate evidence workstream.
No numerical RF attenuation claim is currently approved.
No numerical acoustic rating is currently approved.
Application suitability must be assessed against project requirements and controlled test evidence.
Installation & Deployment
PILOT VALIDATION REQUIRED
The modular architecture is intended to simplify logistics and installation compared with conventional multi-layer construction.
Installation speed will be evidenced through controlled pilot and field records.
No universal “x-times faster” claim is currently treated as validated.
Project conditions, access, labour and configuration materially affect deployment performance.
Circular Design
DESIGN INTENT / LIFECYCLE EVIDENCE PENDING
THOM is designed around hi-grade alloys components, reuse and circularity principles.
No whole-system recyclability percentage is currently claimed as validated.
Embodied-carbon and lifecycle claims require a controlled methodology and evidence.
BREEAM, LEED and green-finance outcomes are project dependent and are not currently claimed as achieved.
Integrated Envelope Architecture
ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT
The product architecture is intended to combine envelope, service-routing and modular installation functions within a thin hi-grade alloys-led system.
Final production details remain controlled through Product Version governance.
Externally published specifications must match the current controlled version.
Changes to geometry, insulation, fixings or materials require controlled update before external use.
