ABOUT TIMBER FRAME

     

Are you thinking of building a new home?
Then you should be thinking of
TIMBER FRAME!!!

Fast Construction Time– A timber frame home can be watertight within days of being delivered to site, allowing internal work to be completed while the outer shell is being built.

Simple to Extend– A timber framed home is an engineered structure which can grow with your changing needs. Because of the modular design and the low weight of the structure it is easy to extend or alter the internal layout of a timber framed home.

Energy Efficiency– Because timber frame homes are so highly insulated as standard, they are more efficient what than the current Building Regulations require. This means that timber frame homes are economic to run, heating up quickly and retaining heat for longer. More insulation can be specified to increase energy efficiency.

Swift to Decorate– Because there is virtually no water used in the internal structure of the timber frame home, it is possible to decorate straight away. No waiting around for drying out or nasty cracks to appear as what happens with traditional ‘wet' build.

Peace and Quiet– Independent Research has proved that most timber frame party walls are better at providing acoustic reduction than masonry walls.

Kind to the Planet– The energy efficiency of timber frame makes it the environmentally friendly way to build. In addition the system relies on renewable softwoods from well-managed northern hemisphere forests and is insulated with CFC free materials. Finally the amount of energy taken to produce timber components – the embodied energy is much less than that of concrete or plastic alternatives.


Timber Frame is an engineered precision made solution to house building, which brings the benefits of factory pre-fabrication, fast construction times, reduced errors and callbacks plus high performance and insulation levels. Timber Frame provides better buildings, more quickly and at costs comparable with other construction methods.
