Irish self-builders are beginning to recognise the many benefits of timber frame & realising it’s use in similar cold climates. The Mica & Pyrite crisis in Ireland has made homeowners & builders weary of traditional block & the ongoing demands by the Irish Government for speed & sustainability has propelled an unprecedented increase in the use of timber frame.
“Timber Frame is a Fixed Cost, nZEB Ready Build Solution”
A highly-insulated & airtight home; designed to surpass building regs
It’s no coincidence that timber frame is the most common build method in similar harsh, wet climates. When building a new home; your sights should be on improved energy efficient, future-proofing. A well designed, highly efficient build method is key.
Our homes are manufactured with precision engineering & state-of-the-art machinery in a dry, quality controlled environment. We offer four passive standard closed wall panels; packed full of quality insulation & a complete airtight seal. Our efficiencies vary from 0.15 as low as just 0.09 w/m2k – currently the best u-value on the Irish market.
Factory Fitted Service Cavity – First Fix Trades Can Get to Work Straight Away!
Our closed panel timber frame systems are delivered to site with the insulation, airtightness & service cavity battens all factory fitted. This means that your electricians & plumbers can get to work on erection of the timber frame – even before the block work or cladding!
Our 50 x 35mm service cavity battens are securely attached to the factory fitted PIR insulation & your airtightness membrane is safely protected from follow-on trades between the two thick layers of insulation- all working together to achieve our Passive Standard u-values.
