A little more about Timber Frame.
If you're looking at this website, they you'll probably already know why timber framed homes are the future. *Today timber frame builds account for over 25% of all new build homes in the UK and 75% of self builders use timber frame as their primary build method.
And the reasons behind it aren't purely financial, timber framed homes make a lot of sense because:
-
Wood has the lowest CO² cost of any commercially available building material – a much lower carbon footprint than conventional block built homes.
-
Wood has higher insulating properties and is more thermally efficient – reducing your energy bills
-
Wood is sustainable, especially when managed correctly as our sustainable wood is.
-
Timber framed homes are over a third quicker to construct and make water tight than a conventional block built home.
