Lower heating bills

Nowadays all new buildings have to conform to new thermal efficiency standards. But, because wood is such a good natural insulator, enhancing the efficiency of the insulation materials, timber frame buildings have been meeting or exceeding these standards for years.

They are more comfortable to live in too. The excellent insulation of the structural shell means the whole home heats up more quickly, without any cold areas. Better insulation, hand-in-hand with detailed draught-proofing, means a smaller boiler, lower heating bills and a cosier, more comfortable home.
