Utilised in the UK since the mid 1950s, timber frame continues to gain in popularity. Indeed it remains one of the most proven off-site building systems, irrespective of end use application.
Not surprisingly, Excel Structures provide a complete design, supply and installation timber frame build package. Whether being used for a multi-unit site of houses and apartments or domestic property, the package content is flexible and tailored to suit specific customer requirements.
A typical timber frame building system consists of:
All timber frame systems are delivered and erected on site, made temporarily weather tight and ready for the final roof covering. They are fully compliant with NHBC and Building Regulations requirements and are manufactured under strict quality controlled conditions.
Lower heating bills
Timber materials are natural insulators and when installed for windows, doors, and floors, they help control the temperature indoors to maintain a comfortable living environment. As they naturally have thermal insulating properties, they reduce energy consumption for heating or cooling, boosting a completed home’s overall energy efficiency.
Durability and flexible design
A timber frame is highly durable and strong. With high-quality installation they can last for centuries, whilst using timber as the main building material also gives you endless design possibilities.
Cost effective with easy, fast installation
As timber materials are so lightweight, flexible and versatile, they are easier and quicker to build and results in lower costs and faster occupancy.
Natural material for ecology and sustainability
Choosing a timber frame is not only ecological and sustainable as a renewable building material but it is environmentally friendly. As a non-toxic, natural material, no chemicals are released into the air to compromise people’s health or have a negative impact on the environment.
The range of building solutions provided by Excel Structures centres on four high performance, complete off-site framed building systems suitable for residential and commercial construction; SIPS (Structural Insulated Panels), Light Gauge Steel Frame, pre-insulated Timber Frame and CLT (Cross Laminated Timber).
