Although we're in the midst of the warmer season, it's always important to consider our energy usage... We ensure we take a 'Fabric First' approach to construction, putting energy efficiency at the top of our priority list. This means that we ensure all the materials we use within our timber frame kits are carefully considered to ensure optimum efficiency from the beginning of our builds 🏡 Homeowners of today will often opt for smart home gadgets that allow them to monitor their energy usage with the aim to combat unnecessary energy wastage, but when a Fabric First approach is taken, the materials work together to ensure a comfortable temperature all year round. Alongside our industry-leading Valutherm+ system, we ensure that throughout the build we 🏡 eliminate thermal bridging 🏡 maximise air tightness 🏡 and optimise insulation, solar gain and natural ventilation We believe a Fabric First approach is the future of construction, ensuring that each property does that hard work for the homeowner, right from the get-go.

Wind and watertight in just 4.5 days 💪 It's always great to see how our timber frame kits can be erected and made to resemble a home in just a matter of days! And that's the beauty of off-site construction and our timber frame kits! Thank you to Kevin Clinton and the team at CJC Timberframe Ltd for sharing these images of a recent job in Islay! #construction #timberframe #timberframehomes

There's no doubt that sustainable, energy efficient housing is the future... With the government setting strict 'net zero' targets as a way to combat the current pressing issue of global warming, and the built environment accounting for around 25% of UK greenhouse gas emissions, timber frame housing is an effective way to reach these goals. Timber has low u-values, meaning a lower amount of heat loss - the lower the u-value, the better the thermal performance - helping to reduce the energy usage of the occupants. This makes it a very useful material for housebuilders, alongside benefiting from off-site construction to streamline the process and reduce time on-site. As we are already seeing an increase in the supply of timber, we can expect to see more and more housebuilders embracing timber frame to ensure they meet the necessary standards for energy efficiency of their homes. And whilst we believe timber frame homes are the future, for the last 35 years we've been supplying our industry-leading timber frame kits to customers, so we're already ahead of the curve!

Timber frame 🤝 Passivhaus The two go hand in hand... both focus on sustainability, energy efficiency, and prioritising the natural environment 🌳 When considering both of these elements, properties can benefit not only from a beautiful build, but also heightened energy performance and a comfortable temperature for the homeowner. The Maryville Passive House is a project we were involved with a few years ago - a striking home with a 'Zero Carbon' seal of approval 🏆 With a wood burning stove at the heart of this home, plenty of natural light and our Valutherm+ system, this home was destined to be Zero Carbon, something we expect to see in more homes as the Future Homes Standard comes into force. To find out more about this unusual build and project, view the full case study here: https://bit.ly/3W3vpoP #construction #timberframe #timberframehomes

In a traditional home, around 25% of heat loss occurs due to poorly-controlled thermal bridging. Our Valutherm+ system features thermally modelled wall panels designed to help reduce the impact of thermal bridging with the aim to improve energy efficiency compared to other traditional build methods. With energy efficiency and airtightness a key focus in the Valutherm+ system, increased thermal performance is the outcome with our timber frame kits 👏 To find out more about our industry-leading Valutherm+ system or to read our brochure, click here: https://bit.ly/4720VH9 #construction #timberframe #timberframehomes
