🪵 Timber is naturally thermally efficient
Timber’s natural insulating properties help keep homes comfortable while reducing the energy needed for heating and cooling.
Unlike highly conductive materials, timber transfers heat more slowly. Combined with good insulation and building design, this can help keep the heat out in summer and the warmth in during winter.
For builders and homeowners, that means greater comfort and potentially lower energy use and running costs.
Timber doesn’t just provide the structure. It can also contribute to a more comfortable, energy-efficient home.
