our building technology

Hebridean Contemporary Homes offer you the latest in construction technology. Forget about long periods on site just to get your new house wind and watertight. Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) are the modern solution. We use the Kingspan TEK System to create houses which are at the cutting edge of construction techniques. The system is energy efficient and environmentally sustainable. We also provide high quality timber frame kits, utilising rigid insulation and low-E membranes to produce kits with excellent thermal performance.

The Kingspan TEK Building System is a simple but revolutionary way of building your ideal home. Faster than conventional methods, it allows innovative design freedom, superior quality and outstanding energy efficiency.

A Kingspan TEK Building System home not only provides comfort in terms of temperature control but has the added benefit of being more spacious. Using this unique technology, walls are no thicker than you would normally expect. In fact in many cases they are thinner and more thermally efficient.

Kingspan TEK is more than just a timber kit; it is an engineered, structural shell with guaranteed insulation of 0.2 W/m2. It saves time and money, due to a quick build process with further benefits and cost savings from follow-on trades.

Due to the super insulation factor and a sealed structure the heating system can be dramatically downsized, lowering both capital outlay and long-term heating bills. You will enjoy the benefits of a warm, comfortable home for years to come.

We use high quality 150mm stud wall panels, modern rigid insulation and low-E reflective insulating breather membrane to produce a timber frame kit with a thermal performance well in excess of current building standards.
