Timber Frame Houses
Energy efficient timber framed houses are becoming increasingly popular due to their numerous benefits. Timber is a renewable and sustainable material, making it an environmentally friendly choice for construction. These houses are built using timber frames, which provide excellent insulation properties. This helps to reduce heat loss, resulting in lower energy consumption and reduced heating costs. Additionally, timber has a natural ability to regulate humidity levels, creating a comfortable living environment. Furthermore, timber framed houses can be constructed with high-performance windows and doors, further enhancing their energy efficiency. Overall, energy efficient timber framed houses offer homeowners a sustainable and cost-effective solution for their housing needs.

Cost Efficient
Timber framed houses are an excellent option for those looking to save money on their housing costs. One of the main advantages of timber framed houses is their energy efficiency. Timber has excellent insulating properties, which means that less energy is required to heat and cool the house. This can lead to significant savings on energy bills over time. Additionally, timber is a renewable resource, so using it as a building material is more environmentally friendly than other options. This can also help homeowners save money in the long run, as they may be eligible for certain tax breaks or incentives for using sustainable materials in their home construction. Furthermore, timber framed houses are often quicker and easier to build than traditional brick or concrete houses. This can result in lower labour costs and a shorter construction timeline, saving homeowners money on both the initial build and ongoing maintenance and repairs. Overall, choosing a timber framed house can be a smart financial decision, offering long-term savings on energy bills, tax incentives, and reduced construction costs.
Flexibility in Design
There has been a noticeable increase in the popularity of timber framed homes. This trend can be attributed to a variety of factors that make timber framed homes an attractive choice for homeowners. One of the main reasons for their rising popularity is the aesthetic appeal of timber. Timber framed homes have a warm and natural look that many people find appealing. The use of timber also adds a sense of character and charm to the home, creating a unique and inviting atmosphere. Additionally, timber is a sustainable and eco-friendly building material, which is becoming increasingly important to environmentally conscious homeowners. Timber framed homes are also known for their durability and longevity. When properly maintained, timber can last for many years, making it a sound investment for homeowners. Furthermore, timber framed homes offer excellent insulation properties, helping to keep energy costs down and creating a comfortable living environment. With all of these benefits, it is no wonder that the popularity of timber framed homes is on the rise.

Testimonials
Fantastic service from start to finish. Top quality work by a top quality team Highly recommended
Anthony B.,
Bought a timber frame from Maple a couple of years ago. They were a great help during the design process and we can say now that the end result is all they promised, a super house with high insulation values and low heating bills, well done Maple!
Derek W.,
The chosen frame was the standard Maple 90mm design, which was filled with90mm of mineral wool. Though Maple also offer a 140mm frame with higher levels of insulation, Graham and Suzanna’s house achieved an energy efficiencySAP rating of 99 out of 100, so they feel they made the right choice
Build It Magazine,
The Parkyns were determined not to cut corners, and visited some of the Maple’sprevious clients, talking to them about the service. Chris wanted Maple to obtain building regulation consent, supply and erect the frame, and provide the second fix carpentry, but preferred to subcontract out to the various other trades and purchase further materials for himself.
Homebuilding & Renovating Magazine,
Maple Timber Frame helped the Nozedars throughout their project – liaising with the planners and adapting the plans. They had designed the chalet bungalow from the outside, in order to meet all planning requirements.
Homebuilding & Renovating,
After tendering to three timber frame companies the Spraggana chose Maple TimberFrame, who returned the cheapest quote and was the only company prepared to create a totally bespoke frame to Keith Cattell’s design
Homebuilding & Renovating,
The Hansons started by visiting timber frame show homes. They found that many of the designs had vertical wooden posts as standard. While they could see their charm, they could also imagine the bumped heads and tears. The absence of posts was the initial attraction to timber frame manufacturer, Maple. ‘We also like Maple because they were a small, friendly company’ said Caroline. ‘It was great to see the company director, Philip Price, take such an active, hands-on interest in our project.’
Caroline,
The classic stone portico over the front door was created by a specialist firm of stonemasons, Faussets near Blackpool in Lancashire, recommended by Maple. Even allowing for transport costs (to Cambridgeshire), we reckon that we would have had to pay two or three times the price to have had the portico built locally.
Graham & Suzanna,
The erection of the timber-frame was a model of efficiency. The three-man teamarrived mid morning . . . and by the end of the first day already had the frame erectedto first floor level. The entire job took just one week.
Build it Magazine,
I have a complete distrust of tradesmen, which helped us to decide on a buildingusing timber-frame. It is such a quick process, which gives a weathertight shellwithin a few days.
Chris Parkyn,
We wanted to build in timber-frame because it would be quicker than brick and block. We also wanted a house with good thermal values. We wanted apackage company that would give us support all the way through the project, so we simply worked our way through the Build It list of package companies and contracted seven or eightwho sounded suitable
Graham Reynolds,
Lynn and Audrey had visited the Homebuilding & Renovating Show together and hadboth been impressed by Maple Timber Frame, who worked with them to develop theirideas into workable designs. They were interesting to talk to and interested in what wehad to say, but what really clinched it was their flexibility. We weren’t prepared tocompromise on our design.
Homebuilding & Renovating Magazine,
We were on site before the full tendering process for the timber frame was complete.We went to about eight companies and based on a combination of cost and reportsfrom others before deciding on Maple.
