70% of all new homes built worldwide use timber-frame construction and this is the method of construction preferred by the NHBC, the UK’s largest house insurers.

Some of the advantages of the Scandia-Hus timber-frame construction are :-

By manufacturing the timber frames under factory-controlled conditions, a consistently high quality can be maintained, and the exceptionally high levels of pre-fabrication of a Scandia-Hus frame ensure speed of construction and provide a cost-effective build.

Scandia-Hus timber frames are produced using high-tech Swedish technology and quality Scandinavian timber and components, providing extremely low maintenance homes.

All Scandia-Hus homes are supplied with triple glazed windows and near Arctic levels of insulation which, coupled with their airtight construction, provide some of the most energy-efficient houses available today.

Lower running costs are yet another benefit of a highly insulated timber-frame structure.

Timber-frame construction is based on the use of sustainable resources, which helps protect the environment by reducing harmful emissions to the atmosphere.

In brief, energy saving, reduced maintenance, low running costs, speed of construction and superior quality are but a few of the advantages offered by timber-frame construction.
