IJM Timber Frame

IJM are quality leaders in timber frame manufacture. Since 1965, IJM have been manufacturing quality timber frame buildings for the Irish and UK markets.

During this time, throughout economic booms, and recessions. They have consistently been leading the way in new concepts in timber frame building and technology.

Benefits of a Timber Frame House

Acoustic Performance – Timber frame houses rely on a combination of insulation and mass to achieve sound resistance. By adding an extra layer of plasterboard, timber homes outperform masonry
wall construction.

Fire Safety – All timber frame buildings are designed to meet or exceed the requirements of the building regulations. The British Research Establishment
conduced extensive research into various methods of construction and determined that timber structures did not compromise the fire integrity of the dwelling.

Sustainability – Timber as a construction material can be considered as part of the solution to many of the perceived environmental problems, timber is
harvested from renewable sources.

All IJM timber is taken from managed forests in Europe.

IJM is PEFC certified.

Heating

The Daikin Altherma outdoor unit extracts 75% of its energy from outside air to provide heading and hot water, while the rest is provided by electricity. Air-to water heat pumps are among the most economical heating solutions by relying on air for your heating needs, the heat pump achieves the highest energy labels.

Mechanical on Demand Ventilation

The Aereco’s mechanical exhaust ventilation system has been designed to optimise the indoor air quality through its smart air inlets and exhaust units that automatically detect the need for ventilation. For example, the humidity generated by the shower is detected then exhausted by the unit automatically.

External Windows & Doors – Munster Joinery

Front Door – Ultra Tech Composite Door

The Ultra Tech door is a heavy-duty engineered door panel that gives the aesthetic appeal of the traditional timber door with the best strength, security with multi-point locking and the highest
thermal performance characteristics that modern technology can achieve.

Back Door – Passive PVC French Doors

The low maintenance Passive uPVC French Door is ideal for the low energy build allowing optimum light and solar gain with minimal heat loss.

Windows – Future Proof Triple Glaze Windows

The triple glazed window meets the most stringent energy efficiency requirements without compromising on the inherent advantages and performance of a uPVC window.
