Timber homes are naturally energy efficient, especially when built with quality insulation and airtight construction.
Energy-saving features
- High-performance insulation: Keeps heat in during winter and out during summer.
- Tight construction: Reduces draughts and prevents heat loss.
- Efficient glazing: Double-glazed windows retain warmth while letting in light.
With these features, a timber home can be significantly cheaper to run than an equivalent conventional house.
