When it comes to using timber for your outdoor space and your home, we get asked a lot of questions, so we picked a few common favourites to share with you.
I'm wondering if timber is the right choice for my home - what do you think?
In case you hadn’t guessed, we get excited about timber – but why?
When it comes to looks, timber adds warmth, character, and a timeless aesthetic to your space.
But it’s not just beautiful—it’s durable, versatile, and even helps improve your home’s air quality and energy efficiency. Timber is a natural insulator, helping to keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. It also absorbs and releases moisture, which helps regulate humidity and contributes to better air quality, so your home looks and feels good.
Is timber an environmentally friendly choice?
Yes! Timber is renewable and has a much lower carbon footprint than materials like steel or concrete, especially when sourced from responsibly managed forests. It’s a sustainable option that helps you build an eco-conscious home.
What styles work with timber? Can it be customized for my home's design?
Absolutely. Timberframe features are a fantastic way to bring a unique, personal touch to your home. Whether you’re envisioning bold, modern lines or something more classic, we can help design and build custom timber elements that fit your style perfectly. Our team will guide you through the process to ensure your vision comes to life beautifully.
Does timber add value to a home?
Homes with well-designed timber features often stand out in the market. The timeless appeal and custom feel of timber can boost your property’s value while creating a space that feels unique and welcoming.
What sort of maintenance will my timber need?
When treated and maintained properly, your timber will last for generations.
For optimal durability, here are some tips for maintaining your timber both indoors and outdoors:
- Indoors: Keep timber features away from excessive moisture or direct sunlight, which can cause warping or fading over time. Regular dusting and occasional conditioning with a wood-safe product can help maintain its beauty and strength.
- Outdoors: For exterior timber, regular sealing is key to protecting it from the elements. Use a high-quality wood sealant to guard against moisture, UV rays, and pests. Make sure the timber is properly treated for outdoor use before installation, and inspect it regularly for signs of wear or damage.
