Barratt - Timber framed - New build
Comments
-
I got handed a bag of offcuts of constructional timber to use on my fire a few years back. Darned stuff was difficult to light and just did not burn that well. Quickly realised that it had been treated with fire retardants, and shouldn't be burnt (binned the rest of the offcuts).BarelySentientAI said: The general public thinks timber is bad for fire. The general public also thinks cladding is bad for fire. The crux of that comes from what seems to be the same point of view as you - wood burns and bricks don't, therefore wood bad and bricks good.
Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

Data suggests that over 80% of new build homes in Scotland have a timber frame (for example NHBC, Housing Market Report No. 298,July 2017, Table QS15).
