Deeside Timberframe Trusts Don & Low to Enhance Roof and Wall Build Systems with Advanced, Sustainable Membrane Solutions

Deeside Timberframe stands out as Scotland's leading timber frame company, seamlessly blending tradition, cutting-edge technology and a personal touch. While the company's background goes back 40 years, Deeside Timberframe still follows the same core values, deeply rooted in Scotland's legacy of excellence.

The company's precision-engineered timber frame buildings deliver exceptional cost and time efficiency, minimise environmental impact and prioritise safety in every aspect. Renowned for its unparalleled speed and build quality, Deeside Timberframe serves clients nationwide, including housing associations, construction firms, local, regional and national house builders, and self-build customers eager to turn their dream home into a reality.

Since Deeside Timberframe prioritises sustainability and quality and supports the local supply chain, joining forces with Don & Low was the logical step forward. Being the only vertically integrated UK manufacturer of construction membranes, Don & Low is strategically positioned to support the sector's growth. Vertical integration means that Don & Low manufactures all parts of the membrane and oversees every step of the production, resulting in consistent performance that the industry can count on.

However, the benefits of this collaboration extend far beyond the outstanding quality of Don & Low’s construction membranes. Thanks to vertical integration, Don & Low is less prone to supply chain disruptions, ensuring all year-round product availability and that it is always in the required quantities. For Deeside Timberframe, this translates into an agile and responsive supply chain, supporting its commitment to timely delivery of bespoke timber frame solutions across Scotland and Northern England.

Moreover, Don & Low is a class apart regarding membrane customisation. Thus, a key highlight of this partnership was the creation of a Deeside Timberframe-branded breather membrane, which is now incorporated into the company’s build systems. Showcasing the combined strength of two trusted brands working together, this membrane provides an additional layer of quality assurance. In addition to the bespoke breather membrane, Don & Low provides Deeside Timberframe with a tailored version of Frameshield? in the company’s distinctive green colour.

The partnership with Don & Low further enhances Deeside Timberframe’s commitment to achieving Net Zero goals. Both companies are deeply invested in reducing environmental impact and share a vision for a greener, more sustainable construction industry. Don & Low construction membranes contain at least 20% recycled material on average. Don & Low offers Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) with unbiased, standardised and independently verified information on the membranes’ environmental impact throughout their entire lifecycle, enabling Deeside Timberframe to develop high-quality, environmentally friendly timber frame solutions.

As David Crawford, Managing Director of Deeside Timberframe, says: "Partnering with Don & Low is a natural fit for us. Their strong Scottish heritage, commitment to sustainability, and focus on quality align perfectly with our values and ethos. By working together, we can provide top-quality, sustainable solutions for our clients while supporting local manufacturing and reducing our carbon footprint."

Deeside Timberframe benefits from the outstanding characteristics of many membranes in the Don & Low building envelope, including VapourTX? Thermo, RoofTX? Maxi, MultiTX? Maxi, MultiTX? Plus and FloorTX? FCM.
