DO TIMBER HOMES STAY WARM OR COOL?
Discover how timber houses perform thermally in Ireland’s climate
- Excellent Insulation: Wood’s natural properties help retain heat in winter and keep interiors cool in summer, reducing reliance on heating and cooling systems.
- Winter Performance: Timber walls act as thermal barriers, absorbing and storing heat, then releasing it slowly. Proper sealing prevents drafts and ensures a cozy atmosphere.
- Summer Comfort: Combined with strategic shading (eaves, shutters) and cross-ventilation, timber homes resist overheating and maintain a pleasant indoor climate.
- Enhanced with Insulation: Adding mineral wool, rigid foam boards or spray insulation to walls and roofs boosts energy efficiency and thermal comfort.
- Design & Maintenance: Good design, quality construction and regular maintenance, including sealing and protective finishes, are key to maximizing performance.
With the right design, materials and care, timber homes in Ireland deliver year-round comfort and high energy efficiency. Contact us to learn more about thermal solutions.
