QUOTE BY KEVIN McCLOUD OF GRAND DESIGNS "Buildings that are made from wood don't grab the public's imagination in this country, which is a shame. It's all to do with our natural suspicion of anything that isn't bricks and mortar, but things are changing. In fact timber is a key material of a new style of building labelled cool. Wood is the building material of the moment. Unlike steel or glass it's sensuous, it's organic, it's tactile and it's timeless. Now these are qualities which are very new age, very 21st century and wood has this ability to be able to connect a building to its environment. The timber is so much of the place that a building made with it can look as though it has just sprung right out of the ground. But that touchy-feely organic quality has to be balanced with good building practice. Modern double glazing and engineering standards for timber now ensure that wooden buildings can often out performs and outlast their brick equivalents. Even relatively primitive examples of wooden buildings from the 1960's demonstrate the durability of the material. "
When considering the Carbon Footprint of your building, contrasting from wood as compared to "traditional build" structure is both environmentally friendly and energy efficient. Wood is a natural material and is therefore close to people's hearts and is the first choice for all seasons. Its insulation qualities ensure that heating and air conditioning cost are kept to a minimum. For more information on our range of Timber Log Buildings please CONTACT US for an Information Pack.
