STEICO strengthens commitment to housebuilders with HBF membership
A
gainst a backdrop of evolving regulatory standards and a construction skills crisis, the principal voice uniting the home building industry is the Home Builders Federation (HBF). To strengthen their commitment to housebuilders and developers at such a critical time, timber solutions provider STEICO has recently joined HBF as a member. With a comprehensive product portfolio, spanning wood fi bre insulation, I-joist systems and Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL), joining the HBF was a logical step for STEICO. Pete Hollingworth, managing director of STEICO UK, explains: “Housebuilders face an ever expanding checklist – reduce energy consumption, reduce waste, cut whole life carbon, improve occupant comfort, build at pace and promptly comply to meet changing regulatory requirements. Our wood fi bre insulation and structural timber solutions are well positioned to help the industry with these demands. Delivering homes fi t for the future requires a collaborative approach which the HBF champions, and we’re thrilled to be a part of this through our membership.” Committed to providing timber solutions
for a more sustainable built environment, STEICO is eager to collaborate with the wider HBF membership to support the delivery of homes that meet tomorrow’s standards. Recognising that delivering meaningful change
in a time of regulatory reform is challenging, one of the key drivers for STEICO joining the HBF was the support the trade association provides to members navigating this change. Through policy advocacy, skills training,
technical guidance and the facilitation of working groups, HBF drives its members towards innovative solutions to deliver fi t-for-future homes. This presents an exciting opportunity for STEICO. Providing wood fi bre insulation and I-joist products suitable for fl oor, roof and wall construction, the business is keen to work with the HBF’s wide-ranging membership to simplify design, procurement and installation to help ease build bottle-necks, particularly those that happen on site and can cause costly delays. At the heart of regulatory reform is
maximising the performance of a building’s envelope while minimising environmental impact. Peter Holligworth elaborates: “As the industry prepares for the Future Homes Standard, STEICO’s low-impact timber products provide solutions that support energy effi ciency and whole-life carbon targets, while also optimising conditions for occupant comfort. Looking specifi cally at our range of wood fi bre insulation, performance goes beyond thermal benefi ts – acoustics, durability and breathability are at the forefront of our product development, which helps to future-proof home building. We’re keen to share more on this with other HBF members.” Through its membership of the HBF,
STEICO aims to actively contribute to the technical dialogue shaping the future of UK housebuilding. By engaging with working groups and collaborating with developers, designers and manufacturers, STEICO will support the integration of fabric-fi rst principles, low embodied carbon materials and streamlined build processes. The company looks forward to sharing its technical expertise to help deliver high-performance building envelopes that meet and exceed forthcoming regulatory standards.
