Spandrel Panels
A cost-effective alternative to blockwork party walls affording major Health & Safety benefits whilst offering considerable programme savings.
Choose Crendon for your Spandrel Panel manufacturer
At Crendon Timber Engineering our Spandrel Panels are supplied as fire rated and robustdetails® timber frame panels, made to the profile of the roof, they remove the need to build up masonry party walls into the roof space and hence can save weeks on the build programme.
Spandrel Panels technical guidance and downloads
Spandrel Panels designed for efficient installation
With built-in lifting straps, Spandrel Panels are installed alongside the trusses to form a fully compliant dividing wall.
Spandrel Panels and Gable Panels
While both are prefabricated timber panels used within roof structures, they serve different purposes.
Spandrel Panels are used internally to create dividing (party) walls between properties within the roof space whereas, Gable Panels form the external gable end wall (typically replacing the inner leaf of masonry).
For more information, see our Gable Panels page.
Case Study
Clay Park, Dartington
We used Spandrel Panels on this project in Clay Park, Dartington.
By using our off-site manufactured, prefabricated panels, we:
- Reduced working at height
- Eliminated the need for internal scaffolding
- Simplified the sequence of trades within the roof space

What are the benefits of using Spandrel Panels?
Spandrel Panels offer a range of practical and commercial benefits for housebuilders, developers and contractors helping to improve build speed, reduce on-site labour and enhance overall site safety. By replacing traditional masonry construction within the roof space, they provide a more efficient and reliable solution for modern construction.
Faster Build Programmes
Spandrel Panels are installed alongside Roof Trusses, reducing build time and allowing follow-on trades to begin sooner.
Reduced On-Site Labour
Eliminates the need for masonry construction within the roof space, reducing labour and simplifying site operations.
Improved Site Safety
Less working at height and reduced scaffolding requirements contribute to safer site conditions.
Precision off-site manufacture
Factory production ensures consistent quality, accurate dimensions and reliable performance.
Fire and acoustic performance
Designed to meet UK Building Regulations, including fire resistance and robustdetails® acoustic requirements.
