The Eco Friendly Energy Efficient Home: Perfect thermal insulation with natural materials in walls, ceilings and roof; Minimum energy consumption as a result of energy efficient timber walls; Maximum energy savings as a result of top quality windows with highest thermal performance; Excellent climate and fresh air supply controlled by decentralized ventilation with heat recovery; Oxygen-rich filtered room air
Advantages of Timber Frame Homes Beauty: the vaulted ceilings and exposed beams of a timber frame create warmth and charm in any style, traditional, classical or contemporary. Strength: the oversized timbers used in building the frame mean that your home will be much stronger and last longer than an ordinary house. Some timber frame structures in Europe and in The East are over a thousand years old. Openness & Light: the frame carries all the structural weight of the house, allowing for large expanses of window and open interiors that flow from one room into the next. Energy Efficiency: stress skin panels can be used to wrap the frame, creating an exceptionally tight home with higher than normal R-Values. (See article on Structural Insulated Panels.) Construction Time: great savings can be made on labor as the construction time is less than half of a conventional house of the same surface area. Affordable Elegance & Style: less expensive does not translate into cheaper nor does it sacrifice quality. Versatility: a timber frame can be incorporated into almost any style of home, in urban or rural settings, with exterior treatments of wood, brick, stucco, stone, or any other material desired.
