Timber Frame

Appearance

As the Timber Frame structure is typically externally clad with block or brickwork and finished internally with plasterboard it means that the house looks and feels different from its masonry counterpart, except that it is warmer in winter and cooler in summer due to its low thermal conductivity and mass.

Insulation

Heat insulation in a Timber Frame home is contained within the inner structural timber leaf, resulting in a damp-free, energy-efficient house. No heat is lost to the block work, which translates into as much as 40% savings to you, which results in lower fuel bills and a better quality of life.

Energy Conservation

Conventional building materials have a high impact on the environment. In the construction of a concrete building, for example, over 75% of the total energy expended is used in the manufacture of construction materials. We give top priority to efficient energy conservation, and our attic and wall insulation, floor insulation, and double-glazing are all designed to conserve energy.

Ecologically Friendly

The rock wool and fiberglass used as insulation materials do not emit HFCs or CPCs and are manufactured in a process that uses up to eight times less embodied energy than alternative insulation materials. In addition, all timber pre-treatments used in Modern Timber Frame constructions are based on Boran, a preservative that has no negative effect on the environment and is not susceptible to fire.

The vast majority of new-build homes are being built with a timber frame and with good reason. There are many benefits to timber frame buildings. They're quick and relatively inexpensive to build. Building a timber frame house will result in far lower CO2 emissions than a traditional brick build.
