An Detailed Guide to Timber Frame Home Insulation
Insulation is a critical component that is frequently overlooked while building your dream wood frame home. Proper insulation not only assures year-round comfort, but it also helps with energy efficiency and cost savings. As experts in the area, we will walk you through all you need to know about choosing the correct insulation for your wood frame home in this article.

Understanding Timber Frame Building
Before getting into insulating choices, it’s critical to first understand timber frame construction. Timber framing is a traditional building technique that uses huge timber beams and posts to create a house’s structural framework. These frameworks are then filled with a variety of materials, including insulation, to give comfort and weather protection.

Considerations When Choosing Insulation

  1. Thermal Performance and R-Value
    When choosing insulation for your wood frame home, the R-value is the most important thing to consider. The R-value of an insulating material evaluates its heat resistance. In layman’s words, it determines how well the insulation resists heat flow. The higher the R-value, the better the thermal performance of the insulation.

You’ll want insulation with a high R-value when insulating a timber frame home to keep it warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Spray foam insulation and rigid foam boards are two common insulation materials with high R-values.

  1. Water Resistance
    Moisture ingress into timber frame homes can lead to structural damage and mould growth. As a result, choosing moisture-resistant insulating materials is critical. Closed-cell spray foam insulation, which forms a barrier against moisture intrusion, is an ideal solution in this regard.
  2. Environmental Concerns
    There are various sustainable insulating alternatives available for people that prioritise eco-friendly options. Recycled denim insulation and cellulose insulation derived from recycled paper materials are two examples. These materials not only provide great insulation, but they are also less harmful to the environment.
  3. Installation Procedures
    The efficiency of your insulation is dependent on proper installation. Batt insulation, blown-in insulation, and spray foam insulation are all methods of installing insulation. The approach you choose may be determined by your budget as well as the specific needs of your wood frame home.

Spray foam insulation is one of the recommended insulation options.
Spray foam insulation is a popular alternative for timber-framed homes due to its high R-value and resilience to dampness. It forms a smooth and airtight barrier, preventing heat loss and lowering energy bills.

Advantages:

R-value high
Superior moisture resistance
qualities of air sealing
Long life expectancy
Drawbacks:

Higher initial investment

  1. Insulation using Rigid Foam Board
    Rigid foam board insulation provides superior thermal performance as well as moisture resistance. Because it is simple to cut and install, it is a favourite choice among builders.

Advantages:

R-value high
Moisture-resistant
Simple to use and install
Applications that are versatile
Drawbacks:

Additional air sealing may be required.

In conclusion, selecting the appropriate insulation for your wood frame home is critical for assuring comfort, energy efficiency, and long-term structural integrity. Because of their superior thermal performance and moisture resistance, we recommend spray foam insulation or rigid foam board insulation. If environmental sustainability is important to you, look into recycled denim insulation and cellulose insulation. You may enjoy a cosy and eco-friendly timber frame house for years to come if you make an informed decision.

When it comes to insulation, remember that investing in quality materials and appropriate installation is an investment in the future of your home. Make the correct decision today to live in a pleasant and energy-efficient timber frame home.

Family Log Cabin Accommodation.

Sometimes your house is just not big enough, and you need extra space, then you either think, dreaded BS 3632 Caravan, ( the most expensive garbage sadly our country has ever invented) or a Quick Grown Pine Baltic Cabin from some company that sells crap at low prices and calls them residential which are manufactured from fast grown baltic pine, or you think, quality, and sustainability and you think logcabinslv.co.uk. Not so cheap but quality and quality that will last, and prices that will astound you.

Its easy to make a quality log cabin, you just need the right ingredients, and the right machinery, the right lumber and the right management that like us wants to manufacture the best of the best, and keep pricing low, unlike sadly 99.9% of cabin companies in the Baltics/ UK that can charge as much as 5000 to 10.000 more for a cabin than us, pure greed and now rather stupid. Brexit means, European Cabins will cost more and more, and from us, well, less and less.

Quality log cabins and timber buildings ar low low prices. Please contact us if you want to find out more.

Granny Flats for the Garden

granny flats- granny flats for the garden

There are so many companies selling granny flats for the garden now its gone quite silly.

Yet, 99.9% of them are not fit for purpose.

Over the next few weeks we are going to offer the public a new range of highly insulated granny flats for the garden.

There are so many companies that offer granny flats from logs be them twin skin or single skin, also there are a lot of companies now offer granny flats made from Sip Panel construction, which is an American product which is a very cheap and cheerful way to build quite flimsy houses.

Plus the word SIP stands for Structural Insulated Panel, how a panel joined together with glue of screws, made from OSB board stuck to polystyrene, is structural, is beyond me.

OK.. Getting back to what you should be looking for is a timber frame highly insulated fully compliant granny flat, and than when is not needed, can be dismantled and either sold or taken to the next location and be rebuilt.

Granny Flats for the garden 2016 809Sadly log cabins are not the best of buildings to take down after 5 years, in fact is near on impossible, plus getting them through any kind of building control is near on impossible also.

So what do we offer with our new range of granny flats.

Firstly, all our granny flats will easily pass building regs, and structural calcs.

Secondly we can manufacture the building so you are able to take it down after you have finished using it, as the second hand market for this kind of building will become quite a large one due to the government’s new tax on granny flats over £40.000.

Granny Flats for the garden 2016 810Our aim is to relocate your building to another customer, or for us to offer a dismantling service and then reassembling it at another location for you.

Our timber frame specification we have found does not just comply with full building regulations, it kicks that into touch!

We offer quality of build, assembly, and price; we also offer a 20 year guarantee on the structure and 5 years on windows and doors.

Granny Flats for the garden 2016 811All our buildings (framework) are manufactured from KD C24 CLS CE certified, our outside vertical cladding is Northern Siberian Larch. Please do not forget, these are not just amazing little spaces for mum or dad, both to live in, these are amazingly insulated, warm, friendly and refreshingly well priced small houses.

Granny Flats for the garden 2016 812It’s disturbing how many people buy a twin skin log cabin for their parents to live in, it really is!

I get calls daily and people ask me what is the cheapest way of getting a granny flat, some people, some times the public shock me but this has happened numerous times, is if a 34mm log is ok for someone to live in, sometimes I just want to call social services and warn them that some old man s going to end up with a camp bed in a shed!

 

And what more upsetting is that mum and dad have sold their house and the kids do not want to buy a good granny flat, they want to buy the cheapest so they pocket the difference.. What has happened to people decency, honesty, and family spirit?

Seriously. when you are this side of the phone listening to what people say, mums sold her house, she got 280.000 for it, and we are looking to spend 11.000 on a room for her! (with everything)… is that possible? Sometimes I just want to laugh!

 

Granny Flats for the garden 2016 813I love designing granny flats, I really do, as to most people, this is where they finish their days in comfort, and I think it is important that we make them as comfortable as possible.

Also its highly important that the building is completely insulated, highly insulated, as heating is an issue for the elderly and keeping costs down is imperative, our timber frame buildings will keep the money firmly in your wallet, as we are offering triple glazing with all our granny flats as standard.

All our windows and doors are hand made, from glulam joinery timber also they will be sprayed to your choice of colour and all are certified by BM Trada and also have a CE certification.

If you are truly looking for a fantastic Granny flat with all the bells and whistles, and come with a full turn key solution,then please send us an email, or give us a call today!
