Key Feature of Modern Timber Frame Homes
- Sustainability In today’s environmentally-conscious world, timber frame homes are a natural choice for those seeking sustainable living options. Timber, when sourced responsibly from managed forests, is a renewable source with a smaller carbon footprint compared to steel or concrete. Additionally, timber frame homes are energy efficient and naturally insulating. Timber frame homes are also the perfect fit with green technologies such as solar panels, geothermal heating and passive cooling.
- Design Versatility While traditional timber frame homes were associated with rustic, cabin-like aesthetics, modern timber frame homes offer incredible design versatility. From sleek, minimalist structures with clean lines to contemporary designs blending glass, metal, and wood.
- Durability and Strength Timber frame homes are known for their strength and longevity. The use of large, solid wood beams and treated pressure treated timbers creates a robust framework that can withstand harsh weather conditions, including high winds and heavy snowfall.
- Customisation and Craftmanship Timber frame construction allows for a high degree of customisation. Since the framework is constructed off-site and assembled on location, it offers flexibility in design and layout. Vision works with the client and their chosen architect to create a home that reflects their unique tastes and lifestyle while ensuring a smooth and efficient construction process. Every timber frame element is crafted in our factory by our skilled fabricators, showcasing craftsmanship that is often lost in more conventional, mass-produced housing.
