Well, it's true that timber frame's ability to isolate all types of sounds is weaker than steel. Yet, differences in temperatures can make metal material to expand or shrink, and this can also make some squeaky sounds. To fight this issue for both construction methods, it's recommended to use soundproof materials and insulation.

During its production, steel requires 6 times more energy than timber so it creates a much bigger carbon footprint. The growing preference of timber frames increases the demand for wood, yet it also increases the demand for more new forests. So not only this encourages more ethical and sustainable practice but also lowers CO2 levels.

Check our recent blog to find out more about the differences between steel and timber frames. Read more about it here:

Worried about energy efficiency levels? With timber frame construction you can choose the insulation to suit your needs. Meaning more savings and less heating ;)
