Timber Frame Houses
Energy-efficient timber-framed homes are gaining popularity due to the many benefits. Timber, being a renewable and sustainable material, is an eco-friendly choice for construction. These homes are constructed using timber frames, which possess excellent insulation properties. This helps in minimising heat loss, resulting in reduced energy consumption and lower heating expenses. Timber naturally regulates humidity levels, creating a comfortable living atmosphere. High-performance windows and doors can be incorporated into timber-framed homes, further enhancing their energy efficiency. In summary, energy-efficient timber-framed homes provide homeowners with a sustainable and cost-effective solution for their housing requirements.

Cost Efficient
Timber-framed homes present a fantastic opportunity for individuals seeking to reduce their housing expenses. One key advantage of timber-framed houses lies in their energy efficiency. Timber possesses exceptional insulating properties, which means that minimal energy is necessary for heating and cooling the dwelling. As a result, this can lead to considerable savings on energy expenditures over time. Furthermore, timber is a renewable resource, making it an environmentally-friendly choice as a construction material compared to other alternatives. Timber-framed homes are often quicker and simpler to construct than traditional brick or concrete houses. Consequently, this can result in reduced labour costs and a shorter construction timeline, ultimately saving homeowners money during the initial build and ongoing maintenance and repairs.
Flexibility in Design
The popularity of timber framed homes has seen a noticeable increase in recent times. There are several reasons that contribute to this trend, making timber framed homes an appealing choice for homeowners. One of the primary factors behind their growing popularity is the aesthetic appeal of timber. Timber framed homes have a warm and natural appearance that many individuals find attractive. The use of timber adds character and charm to the house, and is a sustainable and environmentally friendly building material, which holds significant importance for homeowners who are conscious of the environment. Timber framed homes are also renowned for their durability and long lifespan. With proper maintenance, timber can endure for many years, making it a wise investment for homeowners. Furthermore, these homes provide excellent insulation properties, helping to reduce energy costs and create a comfortable living environment.

I've used Philip and his team on 3 projects. Such a fantastic service and nothing is too much trouble for them. Would highly recommend and especially if it's your first self build, as Philip is extremely helpful with the planning process.

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

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.

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.

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.
