An HTH Kit Puts The Natural Romance of a
Timber Frame Home Within Reach.
At Heartland Timber Homes we have developed a patented manufacturing
and assembly system that dramatically reduces the cost of your timber frame home
and the time it takes to erect it. The kits really work – like “adult lego”!
Kits that “Just Make Sense”.
Remember kits? Kits are things that you can do. Everything you need including instructions, photos, professional construction drawings, parts that are labeled, and things that fit together well. One step at a time until you are done. Whether you are an experienced builder or a hands-on do-it-yourselfer, you will appreciate a system that “just makes sense” and goes together quickly and properly. Ingenious engineering, modular design, and interchangeable components make an HTH kit satisfying to build. And HTH is prepared to help if you have a question.
Heartland Timber Homes: seriously, its adult lego.
A house that’s good to you.
Sure, everyone wants a house that’s good for them – adequate space, light, convenience, and a certain aesthetic that says “my home”. A Heartland Timber Home does all this and more.
The “more” part is the way that it’s not only good for you but good to you. That’s because our solid timber homes are immune to invasion by black mold – scourge of modern, conventional housing across the West and North. Likewise they are free of the toxic off-gassing of synthetic materials that conventional housing is made of. An HTH home is built for centuries – and it will remain healthy the whole time.
Heartland Timber Homes: good to know.
A house that’s good for the planet
Your practical and aesthetic needs can be met by a Heartland Timber Home. Isn’t it just terrific how your choice can help support sustainable forests and contribute to solving climate change?
Our short-timber system means that we do not depend on massive, old-growth trees. In fact, our timbers come from salvaging standing dead trees. And our solid wood houses store carbon that would otherwise be circulating in the atmosphere. Our homes provide the lowest environmental footprint of any building material. You get a house that resists climate change rather than adding to it. Solid timber is actually “back to the future”.
Heartland Timber Homes: part of the solution, not part of the problem.
Heartland’s system resulted in a very aesthetic and solid building, and our visitors and members of the Golden Nordic Ski Club have been attracted to the site by the beauty and functionality of the Dawn MT. Chalet. The cost was very competitive and we are pleased with the building.
When the Yukon Wildlife Preserve Operating Society wanted to build a new public meeting and educational center, we wanted a building that was warm, welcoming, functional, and affordable. And we wanted it to reflect the beauty our natural surroundings.
Heartland Timber Homes came through for us! We are proud of our “Learning Centre” and our clients, adults and children, are thrilled with our final product.
As a Wildlife Preserve, we take environmental responsibility seriously. Heartland Timber Homes does too: our new Learning Centre is almost “carbon neutral” and it is the result of sustainable forestry. We feel good about this as it supports our mandate and vision.
I would not hesitate to hire Heartland Timber Homes in the future, should we be in the need of another new structure.
My husband Mel and I constructed a 2600 sq. ft. Heartland Timber Home during the summer of 2013 in Whitehorse, Yukon. It was surprising how fast our home grew upwards. We chose 8”x8”x8’ timbers, because even I can lift them into place and, as a woman, I am proud that I had a hand in building our home. This past winter we heated our home with a wood burning stove and used under 6 cords of wood – this amazing energy savings was a surprising plus.I love living in a timber home. I am very comfortable and guests entering our house always comment on how relaxed and at home they feel. Thanks Heartland!
