Our Materials

Sustainably Sourced Timber

We’re committed to using timber that’s as sustainable as the homes we build.

What We Use

  • Locally sourced from within Wales, reducing carbon emissions and supporting the local economy

  • Certified Grown in Britain, ensuring full traceability and responsible forest management

How It’s Processed

  • Air-dried when possible, with low-energy kiln drying only when necessary

  • No chemical treatments — we rely on natural durability and good design

  • Zero waste policy at the sawmill: every off-cut, shaving, and slab is reused

By choosing the right timber for the right job, we reduce environmental impact, extend the life of each build, and help grow a stronger, more circular Welsh timber economy.

Insulation

We insulate our tiny homes with 100% natural sheep’s wool — a renewable, high-performance material that’s as kind to the planet as it is to the people living inside.

Why We Use Sheep’s Wool

  • Non-toxic, breathable, and entirely free from harmful chemicals or irritants

    It creates a safe, healthy indoor environment — ideal for long-term living, especially in small spaces where air quality matters.

  • Naturally Fire-Resistant

    Sheep’s wool has a high ignition point (around 560°C) and doesn’t easily catch fire. It chars rather than melts or emits toxic fumes, offering an added layer of fire safety to your home.

  • Thermal & Acoustic Performance

    Keeps your home warm in winter and cool in summer thanks to wool’s natural thermal regulation. Absorbs sound effectively for a quieter, more peaceful living space. Retains its shape and performance over time — no slumping or sagging.

  • Moisture Control & Breathability
    Wool can absorb and release moisture without losing its insulation properties, helping regulate indoor humidity and prevent damp or condensation — ideal for compact, highly insulated spaces like tiny homes.

  • Sustainable & Low Impact

    100% renewable and biodegradable. Produced with low embodied energy. Supports ethical, regenerative farming practices
