Energy Efficiency and Durability

Modern timber frame homes are renowned for their energy efficiency and durability. Using Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) and heavy timber, we ensure each home is built to last while maintaining superior energy performance.

Three Settings Perfectly Suited for Timber Frame Construction

Timber has long been an ideal building material – strong yet aesthetically soft – making it popular for homes, restaurants, lodges, etc., in diverse settings. Timber frame construction excels in three particular settings: extreme weather locations, rural or remote areas, and naturally beautiful sites.

• Extreme Weather Areas

Heavy timber’s exceptional durability makes it ideal for enduring harsh conditions like hurricanes, tornadoes, and earthquakes. For instance, the TerraNova Equestrian Center in Myakka City, Florida endured Category 4 Hurricane Ian’s winds and rain in 2022 while many surrounding structures failed. Heavy timber can flexibly absorb impact reducing damage across severe weather scenarios.

• Rural or Remote Locations

A unique advantage of timber frame construction lies in off-site building frame assembly. This approach makes heavy timber homes suitable for rural locations where traditional building resources are scarce causing potential delays. Off-site fabrication reduces job site trips ensuring higher precision/quality speeding up project timelines.

Moreover, timber frame designs can be self-sufficient through renewable energies essential “off-grid”. Structures remain highly energy efficient via structural insulated panels (SIPs) retaining heat during winter/cooling interiors summertime lowering heating/cooling reliance altogether.

• Naturally Beautiful Settings
