Timber frame construction is well known for its energy efficiency, so much so that it is the main method of construction in Scandanavia and North America where the weather can be more extreme than our own. Timber is a natural insulator and combined with the additional insulation which comes with the kit, your home will more than meet the Government's tough regulations on conserving energy and fuel. Most importantly to you, this energy efficiency means less fuel which in turn means smaller fuel bills. Good news for you and for the planet!
