Sustainability Focussed
Timber is renowned for its sustainability as a construction material. Unlike other materials, timber is renewable, biodegradable, and energy-efficient. Sustainable timber sourcing involves responsible forest management practices, ensuring that for every tree harvested, several more are planted. This helps maintain the balance of ecosystems and promotes biodiversity. In addition to its renewable nature, timber has a lower carbon footprint compared to other materials. The production process for timber requires less energy and emits fewer greenhouse gases. By opting for timber-framed houses, homeowners actively contribute to reducing CO2 emissions and combatting climate change.

Cost Effective Builds in Cardiff
Timber frame homes offer an affordable solution by using pre-fabricated panels, which cuts down on the amount of labour required for building. This can result in potential savings. Also, timber frame construction is less affected by weather-related delays, which also helps reduce costs. There are many benefits to selecting timber frame construction for your own house. From its eco-friendliness and energy efficiency to its attractive appearance and versatility, timber frame construction is a fantastic choice. Think about choosing a timber frame home as a unique, environmentally conscious, and budget-friendly option that will stand the test of time.
Incorporating Renewable Energy
In addition to their eco-friendly construction practices, timber-framed houses can go a step further by incorporating renewable energy sources. By installing solar panels on the roof, homeowners can harness the power of the sun to generate clean and renewable electricity. This reduces dependence on fossil fuels and helps combat climate change. Geothermal energy can also be utilised by tapping into the natural heat stored within the earth. These renewable energy sources provide homeowners with a sustainable and reliable energy supply while minimising environmental impact. Additionally, timber-framed houses can incorporate low-flow fixtures such as faucets, showerheads, and toilets. These fixtures help minimise water consumption without sacrificing functionality or comfort. By combining rainwater harvesting systems with efficient water fixtures, homeowners can significantly reduce their water footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future.

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.
