Timber Frame manufacturing is a growth industry with the market penetration for timber frame kits having reached over 50% in Scotland, but less than 15% in England, and around 20% in Ireland. With the advent of increased U values, and scarcity and cost of on site labour timber frame is facing increased demand that could take the market penetration in England and Ireland to that of Scotland.
As a consequence, existing manufacturers are facing increased demand and new companies are looking at the market.
