> Environmentally Friendly:
The use of timber from sustainably
managed
forests
demonstrates a willingness to keep
environmental impacts to a minimum.
> Reduced Heating Costs:
As a result of the high insulation and warmth of
a
timber
frame home, heating costs
are reduced accordingly.
> No Drying Out Cracks:
As drying out is not an issue in a timber frame home,
the
cracks which appear all too
often in a new traditional block built home are not a factor.
> No Drying Out Time:
Traditional block-built homes use countless gallons of
water
that take a long time to dry out, resulting in the delay of the next stages of construction
or
causing problems with internal woodwork. As water is not used in timber framing these
problems are eliminated.
> Speed of Build:
It is no secret that building a timber frame home is much quicker
than traditional
block built homes. The house structure can be built and made water tight
in a matter of days.
> Increased Warmth:
The high insulation of a timber frame home results in
a warmer,
more comfortable
living environment.
