Reducing environmental impact

A timber frame requires far less energy to produce, and a well-insulated timber-frame home requires less energy to heat. Plus, the carbon trees absorb throughout their lifespan offsets the amount needed to process the timber – making timber frames the natural choice for homebuilding.

Sustainable practices

All timber used in our timber-frame homes is responsibly sourced, meaning it’s supported by extensive plantation programmes – ensuring every tree felled is replaced with a sapling.

A home for the future

Durability and exceptional thermal insulation make timber frames the ideal option when it comes to homes that are built to last. And with first-rate manufacturer practices, timber frames are quick and easy to assemble – reducing installation times by nearly 40%.

We decided we wanted a new-build house as they are very energy efficient and would be cheaper to heat than the draughty old house – and there would be no more DIY headaches or repair bills. Paul and Sarah, Bellway homeowners at Gateford Quarter
