Saint-Gobain Off-Site Solutions’ Post

According to statistics from the National House-Building Council (NHBC) in 2019, timber frame was used in 22% of new build homes in Wales, 30% in Northern Ireland and in an incredible 92% of new builds in Scotland. But in England, that number was only 9%. UK Government's new roadmap on increasing the use of timber in construction shows more needs to be done to encourage this method in England. We hope that the new outline, which includes using locally-sourced timber, will help. There are many benefits of using timber to construct new homes, including sustainability and reduced environmental impact, better energy efficiency and quicker build times. Saint-Gobain Off-Site Solutions deliver timber frame in full housing kits through our expert brand, Scotframe, as well as roofing and flooring solutions through Roofspace Solutions and Pasquill.
