Pursuing the future of energy efficient home plans since 2015
Thrilled to announce our exciting partnership with Vermont Frames!
BTF is thrilled to announce our partnership with Vermont Frames, now offering several BTF Net Zero Home Designs in timber frame form! With nearly 50 years of experience, Vermont Frames, a builder of full structural timber frames, has earned a reputation for utilizing traditional mortise and tenon joinery to construct homes that withstand the tests of time. We're creatively integrating BTF's timeless
historical aesthetics and functionality with Vermont Frames' energy-efficient SIPs and Timber Frame construction methods for the perfect home of the future.
SIPs Technology
Vermont Frames features Foam Laments of Vermont SIPs panels. SIPs provide excellent insulation properties and fast installation, complementing timber frames seamlessly. With the traditional wood internal timber frame supporting the structure and the SIPs serving as essentially thick panels of continuous exterior insulation, Timber frame + SIPs homes offer exceptional energy efficiency while
maintaining the look and feel of traditional timber frame homes.
Timber Frame Construction
Timber frame construction is known for its durability, strength, and aesthetic appeal. It has been used for centuries in various architectural styles, from medieval cathedrals to modern homes. By integrating BTF's pioneering pre-designed fossil fuel-free mechanical HVAC systems with timeless timber frame construction, we're pushing the boundaries of energy-efficient design, merging the best of the past
with the best of the future.
