Our recently released case study highlights the energy-saving properties of a typical Scandia-Hus timber frame home. The finished four-bedroom home features high-performance elements throughout.

Insulation from ACTIS, a supplier recommended by Scandia due to their innovative products with superior thermal properties, pairs perfectly with the airtight timber frame construction. Simple to install, the clients themselves were able to fit the insulation.

The windows add to the eco-friendly nature of this build; the triple-glazed units are timber with an aluminium clad exterior. These windows from Norrsken are extremely energy-efficient as well as sustainably sourced. The aluminium minimises maintenance requirements to ensure the longevity of the product.

An air-source pump provides renewable heat to the energy saving home, which is distributed through underfloor heating. Providing comfort underfoot, the underfloor heating warms the home evenly and operates at a low temperature, making it an economical and environmentally-friendly option.
