Advantages

Insulated external timber frame walls can provide better insulation performance than masonry walls of comparable thickness.

Timber frame offers unique advantages to home owners, builders and contractors:

• Construction is faster, with a home often weather proof in 4 to 6 weeks after work begins.
• A wide range of U-Values can be achieved depending on Building Regulations and the required level of thermal performance.
• Excellent thermal efficiency (potentially better than masonry construction)
• Potential for easy future renovation
• Pre-fabrication enhances quality control due to off site manufacture, thereby reducing the risk of on-site workmanship problems.
• Relatively lightweight requiring reduced footings and foundations compared to masonry construction.
