The major advantages are the speed of erection, energy efficiency and excellent thermal and sound insulation.Timber frame design is flexible and allows you more freedom in the design of your home. Timber frame panels are manufactured in our factory so to allow for better quality and less wasted time on site. The materialused is eco-friendly and tested for moisture content to make sure that it is within the required limits. Throughthe use of layering there is better insulation within the building. There can be immense reduction in therunning costs with regards to the heating bill as there is a proven 40% saving on fuel costs.

The fire resistance of a timber frame structure is gained through the combination of internal lining material,
the timber structure and the insulation which, surpass current building regulations. Greater fire resistance isusually obtained through using a double layer of plasterboard with staggered joints. Plasterboard is the mostcommonly used lining material due to its economy, ease of working and excellent fire performance.

Timber frame structures rely to a large degree upon structural separation to achieve sound reduction rather
than the alternative method of incorporating mass into the structure. Sound insulation of walls between
adjoining occupancies is achieved mainly by use of two separate structures with airspace containing sound
absorbent materials between them.
