Our superstructure system is proven, having been used for more than 40 years across Finland and Norway and in temperatures as low as -50 degrees in winter and over 30 degrees in the summer months.

Because of the climate extremes, the Nordic countries have a long history of offsite manufacturing and of building homes to the highest standards of thermal efficiency.

We are resolute in our commitment to providing this exceptional quality to everyone - from high specification luxury homes to affordable housing.

Our system is delivered to site complete with:

• Triple glazing
• Thermal doors
• Heavy-duty plasterboard pre-installed
• Insulation.

We use a completely dry timber process - from forest and sawmill to factory and site, which is key to our superior quality construction. 

This solution means TALO timber superstructures never need to dry out, which avoids snagging caused by twisting and cracking.

Our building system uses slow-grown Nordic timber to achieve superior build quality. It arrives on site complete with triple glazing, a high level of insulation pre-installed in the factory and external walls with interior plaster boarding.

This approach means the homes benefit from a much higher level of thermal efficiency, exceeding Passivhaus energy standards by at least 30 per cent.  

This highly insulated superstructure also achieves outstanding air tightness, again exceeding Passivhaus standards and at NO cost premium.

The structure is typically combined with a solar battery package and MVHR (mechanical ventilation and heat recovery), resulting in exceptionally low or even zero energy bills for homeowners and tenants.

With a TALO solution, the homes are fully watertight in just a few days, allowing fitting out at a much earlier stage.

The risk of delays from poor weather conditions and supply chain uncertainty are also radically reduced. 

Our solutions mean construction programmes are more predictable for more accurate scheduling of the fitout phase. 

Shorter build programmes offer huge financial benefits:

• Improved cost efficiency 
• Faster return on investment 
• The development of more homes.

We are also achieving a level of quality that our housebuilding clients tell us is extremely difficult to achieve using traditional construction methods.

TALO’s superstructures are exceptionally energy efficient. 

Air tightness is 2,000% better than UK Building Regulations and our building fabric significantly outperforms the Government's Future Homes Standards. 

The journey to providing zero carbon housing is now achievable and with no cost premium.

We actually go further than net zero - homes built using TALO's solutions generate more energy than than they use. 

This means we can remove energy bills for life and create a truly sustainable future for the next generation.

Sustainability is central to everything we do.

Our offsite manufacturing centre has been operating to zero carbon standards for over 20 years.  

Our timber structures actually remove carbon from the environment - around 6 tons of CO2 per home.

We design for sustainability at every stage of the construction lifecycle, from forest to site  and beyond. 

This step change in design thinking will totally transform your project outcomes and will facilitate planning approval.

The TALO superstructure system can be used to build almost any design and type of low rise housing - from mews style terraced homes to large detached properties. 

Our developer clients bring the designs for each site to our team who produce BIM models to suit offsite manufacturing whilst maintaining design integrity and optimising cost efficiency.

With our solutions, there are limitless design possibilities, without compromise.

Both the TALO timber superstructure system and our lightweight foundations solution have ICW Endorsed accreditation from ICW Group – one of the country’s largest structural insurance warranty specialists, which serves all major mortgage lenders.

This certification follows a robust technical assessment of TALO’s timber superstructure system and its manufacturing processes to meet ICW’s stringent MMC requirements.

The endorsement means that the TALO offsite system is now pre-approved, subject to satisfactory site audits, for use in conjunction with ICW’s structural warranties across multiple housing projects.
