Over the course of lockdown, it’s fair to say that the majority of us were granted more than enough time to analyse our homes and size them up for a change. 86% of us took on at least one DIY project, and B&Q became the hot-spot for a day out.
We recognise the importance of making your home picture perfect. At TimberStruc, we create products for both interior and exterior design, and in order to get aesthetics in tip-top condition we combine our years of experience with your vision.
If you’re looking to renovate and want to give your home exterior a whole new look, we might have the perfect solution for you. Do you want to integrate quaint character with a fresh new appearance? Why not try a timber porch? The simple addition could completely change the look of your space and give your house the closest thing possible to a structural facelift.
Timber porches in particular are great for adding an elegant sense of character to the entrance of your home, making for a perfect first impression in the eyes of any guests. They’re practical- giving you that extra bit of shelter from good old fashioned British weather, and trendy -often seen as desirable in the housing market, and will increase the value of your home.
They’ve got plenty of other benefits too. If you haven’t guessed already, we’re pretty big fans of timber. Here’s just some of the reasons why it’d be great for you to consider it in a porch:
Aesthetics: Due to the wide variety of species and grades available when it comes to timber, it’s often easier to experiment when it comes to styles and appearances- which often means that we can readily suit our clients’ requests. Its versatility gives it plenty of use outdoors and indoors, whilst the predictability of it allows you to remain in control.
Sustainability: Remaining eco-friendly is a top priority for us. We recognise the importance of considering our environment, and we consistently measure our impact when it comes to production methods, deliveries and office policies. One of the main benefits of timber can be found in its sustainability- it’s nature’s most versatile building material and has the lowest embodied energy rating of any mainstream building material.
Natural insulator: When compared to other materials such as concrete and steel, there’s no doubt that timber outshines when it comes to insulation. The natural material is great for maintaining a consistent temperature- which is a great feature for the entrance of your home!
Cost/speed efficient: Did you know that when it comes to using timber, the speed of your build could end up being significantly faster? It can be erected in all weathers, which ensures that we can get the job done quicker for you. Around 25% fewer days are spent constructing when it comes to the material, which additionally saves you spending money on extra labour days. It’s a win-win situation for all parties.
We’ve had the pleasure of constructing many timber porches since our start-up, and it’s always rewarding to see the stunning finished results. At TimberStruc we know that timber often goes above and beyond other materials in a variety of areas, which is why we’ll consistently recommend it to our clients.
When it comes to porches in particular, it’s essential that you get it right. For something long lasting in terms of looks and durability, there’s no doubt that timber ticks all the boxes. If you’d like to speak to us about having your own porch constructed then please do get in touch.
