Factory manufactured and crane erected highly insulated closed panel timber frame including Passivhaus.
Appleby in Westmorland
Joined June 2015
Came back to one of our timber frame build for the first airtightness test. Really pleased with the result from Paul Jennings of 0.1 Ach/hr Especially happy because this build was a little more complicated than some, with complicated junctions to consider. Well done all involved

All things Cumbrian! Recently featured in @CumbriaLifeMag, showcasing the best in regional collaboration. A #passivehouse home in #Cumbria, built by @edeninsulation, using factory-made panels, with @proclima tapes and Gutex #woodfibre insulation, all sourced from our warehouse.

We have been on site erecting the first phase of our largest Passivhaus timber frame to date for the refractory of Buddhist monastery in the south of England. We will be back with the roof in a month once the columns and ridge beam are in place. 2 more phases to follow after this

A couple of beautiful days weather in Cumbria have helped erecting our latest project. This one had the challenge of designing and forming the cantilever section of first floor. Just some finishing work before we hand on to the client to re-cover with the original steel barn.

We are working on an interesting @PassivhausArch project using our insulated ground floor panels on a piled supported grid, to do away with a concrete based foundation. We have been lucky with the weather on this one and will be done before the big chill arrives 😀

Great work on site by Alpha Projects and Eden Insulation starting to put up the kit. Reuse of all old house on site except asbestos too plus tree protection. So good to see the house ‘popping up’. #eco #architecture #passivhaus

We are really pleased to announce that we achieved our Structural Timber Association Gold Accreditation at our first attempt last week. Lots of hard work by the Eden Insulation team but well worth it. 🏅😀

We were in Herefordshire last week erecting a #passivhaus timber frame where we also supplied the ground floor sitting on a pre installed pile a steel support. Having not supplied insulated ground floors before, this is the first of 4 jobs current job’s requiring them, new trend?

If only there was a way to build buildings that: 1. Reduce carbon emissions #ClimateEmergency 2. Use little operational energy and are cheap to run #CostOfLivingCrisis 3. Are comfortable in winter & during heatwaves #HeatWaves 🤔#passivhaus

Imagine a house that would stay cool in today’s weather without air conditioning... Oh wait, you don’t because we’ve already done it. It's a comfortable 25 degrees inside Brambles Cottage right now! Goes to show the importance of insulation. #heatwave #Heatwave2022 #Passivhaus

We experienced overheating in our south east facing factory office pods on sunny summer days, so last Friday I put together rudimentary shades using dust sheets and roofing battens and off cut timber. It worked brilliantly giving a comfortable working environment #lowcostshading

We’ve had a great week near Stirling erecting the timber frame for another fantastic Passivhaus designed by @paperigloovoice . Some really interesting details on this one, we especially like the ground floor triangular bay windows.

Great to read in the latest edition of Passive House+ magazine that our system walls and roof come out a clear winner on the embodied carbon table😀

So what are we supposed to do with the facts then? Ignore them? 🤔

There are some advantages to being stuck at home due to Covid. I was lucky enough to see this wonderful sunset from the top floor of my house. The higher dark area is a cloud not a fell😯
