Anyone with experience of Goodfeel light beam frames? I can't see that anyone has written about it before on the forum. I'm interested in the concept! It seems convenient for builders to have lighter materials to work with, there is basically no thermal bridge through the insulation and you get environmentally friendly cellulose fiber blown into walls, floors, and ceilings as standard, which feels good. But has anyone built with this or knows more about it?
One concern is that the wood fiberboard in the beam is age-sensitive. What does it look like after 20-30 years? If it becomes soft, the beams lose all their strength!
Additionally, I guess it's impossible to create new openings in the frame without the insulation spilling out. Closing it again is fine, put in board insulation, so better to have too many doors and windows than too few!
Anything else to consider?

Isn't it a bit of the same concept that Masonite has used?

We are also looking into the possibility of building houses with the Goodfeel concept, but we haven't found anyone who actually has experience with them. Have you found any more information? We have also looked at Masonite, which seems to be quite similar, but as far as I understand they do not offer a complete building kit with walls & insulation etc., only the beams.
