About Timber Framing
The major advantages of timber frame construction are its speed of erection, excellent thermal efficiency, sound performance and of course its considerable advantages over traditional building methods where environmental issues are concerned.
Timber frame is design flexible. It allows you great freedom in choosing the finished form of your home. It is also recognised by all financial institutions and building societies for institutional lending and by the National House Building Council (NHBC) for guarantee purposes.
Once up and running, the standard insulation incorporated in the construction of a timber frame house can give thermal performance 27% more energy efficient than that demanded by Building Regulations. Ashdown Timber Frame has a strict company policy regarding the purchase of timber by the manufacturers to be utilised in the construction of our kits. They must provide positive evidence that their timber suppliers operate a policy of good forest management at source together with a committed on going programme of replanting to ensure a renewable resource in the future.
The manufacturing process
The Timber Frames are manufactured at custom built facilities under a strictly controlled production environment. An ongoing programme of investment ensures the plant and machinery used is the very latest of it's kind. Quality control is paramount and every stage of production is strictly monitored to ensure you receive a product of unequalled quality.
Factory production of the majority of individual components inevitably cuts down time on site and removes construction related problems. Reducing time on site guarantees overall savings on cost.
