Timber frame is the preferred method of construction in Northern America, Scandinavia and much of Europe. It has now been the dominant technology in house-building in Scotland for many years.

And this is for good reason. Not only is timber a sustainable resource, it is simple to construct and can be put up quickly in inclement conditions. It is also allows for high standards of insulation and, best of all, is cost-effective.

Then there is the flexibility. Timber frames can have a variety of outer skins. While our designs are illustrated with the traditional rendered block and slate roofs, stone or brick could be used for the walls, and tiles for the roof, if this suits local tradition or planning guidelines.In Scandinavia and Canada timber cladding is the preferred option, and now in many areas of the British Isles this is also seen as an economic and sustainable alternative.

HEBHOMES offer high quality 150mm stud timber frame kits, to ensure good performance in the most extreme climates. We also use high spec rigid insulation and modern low-E insulating breather membrane, to produce a kit at the cutting-edge of timber frame quality standards.  We also offer a revolutionary new expandable foam insulation called Icynene.  This is sprayed on site which ensures an air-tight finish and eliminated the possiblity of poorly fitted insulation
