Reasons to Choose A-Frame Energy Efficient Homes
We Save You Money;
As the saying goes, time is money. As timber frame comes is manufactured sections most homes can be stood and be made weather tight within a week, if you have your windows and doors organised. Once the home is weather tight you can begin all your other services. As it is also a dry construction, typical Irish weather will not hold up the build unlike traditional masonry construction.
Accuracy;
As all the panels and elements are factory manufactured in a controlled environment the quality is second to none. All the angles are as the should be thus ensuring an easier time for follow on trades.
Sound and Insulation;
The sound and insulation properties of our homes meet, and more than exceed the current building regulations. With timber frame you can build your walls as thick as you want. We currently have several different wall options ranging in thickness. Using sawn timber we can use 140mm, 185mm and 235mm.
We can also manufacture panels 302mm wide using engineered timber i-beams. The added advantage of using i-beams is that given their profile, there is overall a smaller volume of bridging material which improves the performance of the wall.
If your requirements are beyond this, we can use our double stud system which can be manufactured to any thickness required. The wider the wall, the more insulation can be used, thus reducing the need for expensive heating systems which often produce large amounts of CO2.
Air tightness;
Timber frame construction is better suited to the advent of airtight detailing. As every element is designed and manufactured in a controlled environment attention to detail is paramount. Our erection crews are also trained on all airtight detailing and the combination of both ensures a comfortable airtight building.
Environment;
The timber in your timber frame kit and roof trusses all comes from sustainable PEFC certified forests in Ireland or Scandinavia. As we manufacture the kits here for the Irish market there is less of a carbon footprint. We also offer a range of natural insulations, which are healthier for the environment and your family.

We regard our customer service and quality as second to none. We want all our customers to be satisfied when we have completed a project with them. We recognise that most of our work comes through recommendations and word of mouth and we want to keep it that way.
