Timber-Frame Housing

Timber-framing is a very old method of creating framed structures of heavy timber. Heavy timber is then fastened together with joints of various types. Although timber-frame housing construction has been around for a long time, this construction method has experienced a growth in popularity in the past 40 years as the demand for quality and unique housing continues to increase.

With the ability to mass produce materials and, therefore, allow for the creation of timber structures and other materials off-site, timing for the construction of timber-frame houses has been drastically reduced.

• When erecting a timber-frame structure, the frames are erected and are watertight even in poor weather conditions.
• Construction is able to continue despite the weather.
• Cracking of plasterboard is eliminated, because timber frame is a dry construction.
• Panels are made in a controlled, factory environment accurately to specifications.
• Wires and pipes are easily concealed which results in a neater finish; services such as wiring, piping, etc., can easily be accommodated in the floor zone.

Timber-Framing: A 'Green' Building Method

Timber is a sustainable resource; the thermal properties result in reduced heating requirements.

The carbon footprint is smaller because timber-frame structures require less energy to produce than a structure erected using concrete and/or steel.

Another benefit for choosing to construct a new timber-frame home is durability; when properly treated, structures made of wood last for centuries.
