💭 A Smarter Way to Create Space — Without Moving Home
Across Ireland, more and more families are asking the same question:
“How can we add space quickly, affordably, and without the chaos of a full renovation?”
For many, the answer isn’t selling up or moving out — it’s building smarter. Cement board extensions have become one of the most exciting and practical ways Irish homeowners are futureproofing their homes. Whether it’s for a growing family, a remote work setup, or simply more breathing room, these innovative structures are transforming homes across the country.
And when it comes to speed, design, and reliability — Timber Living is leading the way.
As Ireland’s oldest and most trusted provider of log cabins and cement board extensions, our small family-run business combines decades of craftsmanship with modern building technology to deliver results you can see and feel — in record time.
🔨 What Exactly Is a Cement Board Extension?
A cement board extension is a fully insulated, weather-resistant building that’s designed to integrate seamlessly with your home. The exterior is wrapped in durable cement board — a material made from cement and cellulose fibres — giving it the strength to withstand Ireland’s unpredictable weather while maintaining a sleek, modern look.
Unlike traditional brick-and-mortar builds that can drag on for months, our cement board extensions are precision-engineered and pre-planned for efficiency. Every step is carefully scheduled — so there’s no waiting around for weeks.
With Timber Living, your extension can be ready in as little as five weeks.

🏡 Why Irish Families Are Choosing Cement Board Extensions
1. Rising Property Prices
With property prices continuing to rise and fewer homes available, many families are finding it more affordable to extend rather than move.
A cement board extension gives you the same benefit — a new, spacious area — without the legal fees, stamp duty, or stress of buying a new home.
You get more house, not more hassle.
2. The Remote Work Revolution
Since 2020, Ireland has seen a huge rise in remote and hybrid working. But not every home is equipped with a quiet, private workspace.
Our cement board extensions make the perfect home office or studio, giving you a peaceful environment where you can focus, meet clients, or run your business — right in your garden.
Many of our customers say it’s the best investment they’ve ever made for both their productivity and peace of mind.
3. A Growing Family Needs Space — Fast
From a new baby on the way to kids needing their own rooms, space can disappear faster than you think.
A cement board extension is an ideal way to add an extra bedroom, playroom, or teen hangout space without turning your home upside down.
Because our turnaround time is among the fastest in Ireland, you won’t have to wait months to enjoy your new space.
4. The Cost-Effective Solution
Traditional extensions often require architects, lengthy planning, and complex build stages — all of which drive costs up.
Our streamlined system keeps costs predictable and transparent. Each extension is quoted upfront, with no hidden fees or unexpected extras.
The result: you know exactly what you’re paying for, and exactly when your new room will be ready.
5. Sustainability and Energy Efficiency
Ireland’s homeowners are more eco-conscious than ever — and rightly so. Cement board extensions are designed with energy efficiency in mind.
Each build includes:
- Full insulation for walls, floors, and roof
- High-performance windows and doors
- Energy-efficient heating options
That means lower heating bills and a smaller carbon footprint — all while enjoying a warm, comfortable space year-round.
🧱 Built to Last: The Power of Cement Board Technology
Cement board isn’t just durable — it’s futureproof. Unlike traditional plaster or timber cladding, it doesn’t warp, rot, or crack under Ireland’s damp climate. It’s fire-resistant, low-maintenance, and looks fantastic year after year.
That’s why so many homeowners are switching from timber to cement board finishes for their long-term builds.
And at Timber Living, we don’t just use cement board for practicality — we use it as part of a complete system designed to deliver:
- High structural integrity
- Long-term performance
- Sleek, modern design
Whether you want a classic look that blends into your existing home or a bold, contemporary finish — our design team can tailor the exterior and layout to your taste.
🧩 Endless Possibilities: Extensions That Fit Every Need
Cement board extensions aren’t one-size-fits-all. They’re custom-built to suit your lifestyle, your home, and your vision.
Here are some of the most popular ways our Irish clients are using their new spaces:
💤 1. Extra Bedroom
Perfect for guests, teenagers, or even older family members who want independence while staying close to home.
🧸 2. Playroom
Create a safe, fun space for kids to play — and finally get your living room back!
💻 3. Home Office
Work, create, or study in peace with a dedicated office just steps from your back door.
🧘♀️ 4. Wellness Room
Yoga, meditation, or gym — your own private retreat for relaxation and self-care.
🎨 5. Studio or Workshop
Artists, musicians, and creators love the freedom of a private space to bring ideas to life.
🎬 6. Entertainment Room
