IT'S ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
Timber is the ultimate 'green' construction material. During a tree's lifetime, it removes tonnes of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. By using timber from sustainably managed forests and adding cfc free insulation, timber
frame construction minimises the environmental impact of a build project.

IT'S LONG LASTING
Buy a brand new timber frame home and it'll be around for many years. Some timber frame buildings from the
12th century are still around today.

THERE'S AN ALMOST UNLIMITED SUPPLY
Timber is the only truly renewable construction material. Good forestry management means that whenever a
tree is cut down for construction use, another one is planted.

IT'S STRONG
Timber frame structural systems are capable of supporting multi-storey construction.

IT'S FIRE RESISTANT
Contrary to common belief, timber performs well in fire. Unlike other forms of construction it doesn't bend at high temperatures, nor does it flake.

IT'S RELIABLE
According to the insurers National House Building Council, there are fewer problems with timber frame homes
than other forms of construction.

IT CAN CUT YOUR BILLS
Timber is a natural insulator and timber frame walls have additional insulation included as standard. So timber frame is thermally very efficient which can mean lower fuel bills.

IT INSULATES WELL AGAINST SOUND
You can't hear your neighbours and they can't hear you.

IT'S QUICK
In ideal conditions a timber frame house can be wind and water tight in two days and finished in six to eight
weeks, which is great news for self builders and developers.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL
Timber is a beautiful, natural material. Choosing timber frame for construction of your home means you will
have a warm, quiet, safe haven for you and your family. A beautiful thought.
