Timber modular homes can perform well, but details at moisture-sensitive joints and enclosed cavities must be resolved before factory production.
Common risks in timber modular homes
Moisture, junctions, transport movement, hidden cavities and maintenance: what should be controlled before ordering a timber modular home. A good decision is based on a complete specification, not a render or a starting price.
Timber modular homes can perform well, but details at moisture-sensitive joints and enclosed cavities must be resolved before factory production. A responsible proposal must show the complete construction build-up, not only the visual finish.
What should be checked before a contract?
