| With the government drive for all homes reaching Code 6 by 2016, Frame Wise Ltd a timber frame company based in Presteigne, Mid Wales, is pushing the Code for Sustainable Homes, with a twin frame system that can achieve less than 0.1 W/m²k U-value and 1 m³/h/m² air tightness, making it one of the warmest open panel timber frame systems currently available. Frame Wise have stepped up to help the self build and commercial market in their quest to meet the future code for sustainable homes, with today's materials. Frame Wise understand that the credits for the Code for Sustainable homes are somewhat difficult to collate, therefore timber frame can help greatly, being energy efficient, as it reduces the overall consumption of energy but provides a greater environmental rating. |

Frame Wise pride themselves on providing some unique designs for the unusual andcreative sites, both in the self build market and the commercial. Frame Wise find more clients prefer light, airy homes with greater environment credentials, and of course timber frame ticks all the boxes, including outstanding thermal characteristics.
Frame Wise's ‘Twin Frame System' provides clients with a solid base for reaching the code they need, with its flexibility and outstanding achievements in all the right areas. Twin Frame solves the issues of sustainability, environment, acoustics, thermal and airtightness for the whole build. With timber frame being so flexible, this then helps to incorporate any other systems the clients need to complete the build and meet the code. You do need to remember though this is only one part of the code and you need to look at the project as a whole. But remember Timber Frame and Fabric First, so not to rely on expensive renewable.
