While timber frame construction has many benefits, below are a few crucial ones to mention. You’ll typically find with timber framed properties that the EPC rating is higher through better insulation methods and a reduced overall carbon footprint.
By reducing labour hours and increasing efficiency through speed of construction, overall costs can often be reduced.
All of our materials are responsibly sourced and supplied by PEFC, and FSC accredited suppliers.
With the nature of carbon footprints, sourcing materials from wood has its benefits. From requiring brand new forests in order to obtain fresh timber to lighter materials being easier to move, the CO2 cost per cubic meter is drastically lower than other building materials.
Due to the nature of timber frame kits being manufactured in a factory environment, the tolerances are much closer and therefore resulting in a higher quality kit that you may experience with other methods of construction, which in turn creates an opportunity for the erection of your project to be much quicker when the timber frame reaches site.
The internal structure of your timber frame can be fitted with a range of insulation specifications to meet your projects requirements. Please see our panel type page for more information.
Timber frame construction utilises the voids within the structural shell to create a good thermal envelope, with the use of additional insulation layers internally. This in turn makes for better U values and ultimately greater EPC ratings in a smaller wall construction than you would find with a traditionally built property.
Twin Wall Method
For even higher efficiency, a twin wall method can be utilised – a solution which we can provide and would be more than happy to discuss with you.
Quality should never be compromised, as fully accredited timber frame manufacturers we hope to provide the trust and assurance that your project will be seamless from start to finish.
