Many of the company's new houses are built with timber frames and clad in reclaimed traditional Yorkshire stone. No other building method is so simple, versitile and cost effective. Timber frame construction is a method of building that uses a timber frame as the basic means of structural support and because they are factory manufactured, they guarantee the highest level of accuracy and quality, significantly simplifying construction on site.
As one of the most popular building techniques used in the world over, timber frame is recognised as the most environmentally friendly way to build. Timber is natural, totally renewable resource, supplied from well-managed softwood forests. Frames are insulated with CFC free insulation and can easily be specified to a level that far exceeds the requirements of Building Regulations. In short, they heat up very quickly which means they cost less to run; similarly in the summer the insulation keeps them cool and comfortable to live in. |
