The Benefits of Timber Frame Homes

Timber Frame homes offer many benefits, bringing you a cost effective, sustainable way to build unique and environmentally friendly homes. Timber Frame builds are:

Time saving

Timber Frame is quicker to build than traditional block builds, and this is because the prefabricated panels can be constructed offsite in our Midleton based manufacturing unit. Our panels are manufactured, with the very best quality materials and energy efficient design and building one of our Timber Frame homes will generally take significantly less time than it takes to build a masonry house. Timber Frame builds are constructed more quickly, cutting out the initial block laying phase that can be very time consuming, and are quicker to weather in. Timber Frame building is not as weather dependent as conventional building, which enables us to build all year round.

Cost effective

Timber Frame homes are an affordable, quality option, especially for many self-builders. Timber Frame panels are manufactured offsite, reducing costs, once on site several tradespeople can work on your build at the same time because the process is streamlined and is not as dependent on the weather. Of course, you will also benefit from reduced energy bills once your A2 or Passive Standard Timber Frame home is completed, a significant cost consideration.

Environmentally sound

Timber Frame building uses sustainable materials that are designed for energy efficiency both in the construction process and after completion. Your Timber Frame home will be less impactful on the environment during the build phase than a masonry-built home. Your completed home will be more energy efficient, reducing your energy bills and maintaining the warmth and comfort you desire. Our Timber Frame houses are designed to achieve low U-Values (U-Value is a measure of thermal performance and we aim for the lowest values possible). Our Timber Frame designs are created to give optimum insulating performance, with external walls and windows working at their potential design efficiency.

Social benefits

Timber Frame houses offer a great solution to the housing crisis we see here in Ireland, as well as in other areas of the world. Timber Frame homes are built more quickly and require a much smaller team, making this a great choice for social reasons as well. Timber Frame homes can also be built on brown field sites, as they do not require excellent ground conditions for their construction. This can enable more effective protection of green field sites and areas of natural beauty, which ticks another environmentally friendly objective.
