Are Fleming Homes manufacturing methods sustainable?

FLEMING HOMES AND SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION

• 1. Our timber frame homes already exceed the British regulations in thermal efficiency. Quality products and specific manufacturing techniques ensure that our homes are constructed with the intention of increasing a dwellings thermal efficiency and maintaining this efficiency for longer periods of time.
• 2. The manufacture of our timber frame homes aim to future proof a dwelling over their whole lifetime by limiting heat losses across the building envelope. Again, quality products combine with specific manufacturing detail to increase a dwellings ability to reduce unwanted energy emissions by maximising the air tightness of the construction.
• 3. An ‘eco’ design objective can greatly increase the sustainability of a timber frame home. Our experienced design team are astute in and committed to incorporating design features which impact on a dwellings ability to utilize natural energy sources.
• 4. The timber used for our homes is sourced from well managed forests. We recognize, encourage and practice the specification of responsibly sourced materials for the basic building elements and finishing elements of our timber frame homes.
• 5. From design through to manufacture we recognize the growing importance of those issues relating to the sustainability of our product and as a company we are committed to satisfying those issues to the highest of standards.
