Why are timber frame homes so energy efficient?
• Timber frame homes use SIP wall and roof panels, which are vastly more energy efficient, stronger, quieter, and more draft free than other building systems that use stud framing with fiberglass insulation. • SIPs are made of rigid insulation as a solid component to eliminate air movement. Less air leakage means fewer drafts, less noise, lower energy bills, and a much more comfortable indoor environment. • SIPs are fabricated without wall studs, thereby eliminating thermal bridging and providing the highest R-values.
