National Timber Systems (NTS) has unveiled an integrated floor and roof solution designed to transform the way homes are built across the UK.
The NTSROOM system offers developers and housebuilders a comprehensive ‘Room in Roof’ package, including the cassette floor, that is factory-built and delivered ready for rapid installation on-site. A pair of semi-detached houses can be installed in a single day using just one delivery, one crane, and one coordinated install plan.
The NTSROOF suite of products – including NTSROOM, NTSROOF, and SUPER-SPAN – is backed by BBA third-party certification, giving developers and specifiers verified assurance of performance, quality, and regulatory compliance.
NTSROOM eliminates the need for high-level steels, starting from a level wall plate and building up to a fully insulated, weather-tight roof and floor structure. The system includes pre-drilled holes in the floors for pipe and cable runs, reducing on-site modifications and eliminating potential installation errors. It is also designed to adapt to evolving building regulations such as Part L and Part O. Engineered for thermal efficiency, comfort, and compliance, the system offers flexible options including cantilevered roofs for natural shading.
The joist layout ensures floor stiffness with short spans, while minimising drilling on-site. With all cabling and pipe layouts provided, local carpentry teams can complete installation with speed and confidence. NTS also provides a ‘Supply with Assist’ support package that offers full installer training, detailed RAMS support and direct access to NTS experts.
“NTSROOM is the natural progression for NTSROOF,” said Philip Carney, NTS’ Technical and Innovations Director. “NTSROOF has always had a level wallplate with a dwarf wall and a stubbed spandrel, integrating the floor is simple, as it is easily encapsulated in the current solution, growing on our need to do less on site.”
