Introducing
The Hearthstone Cedar Home... a Super Insulated Timber Trace Home. A
technologically superior home.
Also, on this page we bring you information on Hearthstone's Panel
Homes.
the Timber Trace Home is an expression of three ideals:
- A home should be an enduring
haven of comfort and solitude that reflects the individuality and personality of those
within.
- A home should employ the latest
technologies in building materials and methods.
- A home should be affordable and
represent good value and a sound investment.
Engineered timbers - also called glulams - are combined with structural insulated panels
to produce the unique designs, construction efficiency, and exceptional value represented
by the Timber Trace. Glulams present a wide range of design possibilities at an economical
cost. They are used extensively as both decorative and structural components and permit
Hearthstones architectural staff to create the unique designs and sense of expanded
living space that distinguishes the Timber Trace. With Glulams prominently exposed as
straight beams, roof rafters, and exposed trusses, Timber Trace interiors provide an
unusual degree of softness, natural charm, and inviting warmth.

The use of structural insulated panels for exterior walls is another representation of the
advanced building technology employed in the Timber Trace. Compared with conventional
stick-frame walls insulated with fiberglass batts, structural insulated panels provide up
to twice the insulation value. They are also stronger, straighter and present a more
finished appearance.
Windows and doors are included with the Timber Trace as integral elements of the design.
the Timber Trace embodies in full measure what homes of today and tomorrow should
be. It
is first a place of comfort and refuge. It represents the very latest in building systems
technology.
Thats why we say... A home for the 21st Century. For additional information about
the revolutionary Timber Trace home, call us!
Enjoy the warmth of a Hearthstone home...and
the latest technology under the sun.
The
name Hearthstone has always stood for the very finest in
craftsmanship and quality and with the introduction of our panel
homes that tradition continues.
NEW TECHNIQUES, OLD-FASHIONED VALUES
Hearthstone Panel Homes are constructed using building materials and
methods that render conventional, stud-framed walls obsolete.
Although brand new foam-core panel homes are the logical result of a
technology that is more than 50 years old.
Recently, that technology has been refined and reapplied to the
building industry.
If you consider a house more than just basic shelter; then
Hearthstone Panel Homes were developed with you in mind. They are
for individuals who demand technical excellence, the latest
technology and a home that makes a distinctive personal statement.
KEEP
THE OUTDOORS IN ITS PLACE.
Hearthstone Panel Homes have solid-core walls and an extremely high
insulation value (R-24!), which ensure extraordinary
energy-efficiency in any climate. But the benefits don't just stop
there. Our panel homes are inherently strong and quiet. Uncontrolled
air and moisture infiltration is dramatically reduced because the
exterior walls are of a solid, foam-core construction.
Not surprisingly the temperature inside of a Hearthstone Panel Home
is consistent throughout for optimum comfort.
DESIGNS CAN BE AS INSPIRED AS YOUR IMAGINATION.
Although Hearthstone offers standard panel home floorplans, any
style of home can be built using this technology. So, be as
imaginative as you want.
If you need assistance, of course, Hearthstone is there to help you
plan every step. The advantage of building a home (or commercial
building) with panels is that they offer the best of both
worlds: old fashioned quality and modern, energy-efficient
technology.
We use traditional methods to build the extraordinary. Even
though Hearthstone Panel Homes are state-of-the-art, they can be
erected using common construction methods. Hearthstone crews are
well-trained in every phase of building a panel home, from caulking
and foaming the wall joints to raising the roof. No time or
materials is ever wasted because panels are delivered pre-cut and
ready to install.
FASTER, EASIER, BETTER.
After an appropriate foundation and subfloor are installed, the
entire panel shell can usually be completed within a week. Then,
almost any type of roofing or siding can be used to finish the
exterior of the house.
Inside, you have just as much freedom. Sheetrock is easily installed
because there is a continuous nailing surface. And since our panels
are so strong, you have almost complete flexibility in designing
your dream home.
The result can be a masterpiece, whether you follow one of our
standard floorplans or create your own.
