Timber frame homes and extensions are increasingly more and more popular with self-builders, construction companies and developers for both residential and commercial properties. Timber frame boasts quality in off-site fabrication and speed of assembly on site, all whilst reducing the on-site build costs and time.
Benefits of using Timber Frame:
At its most basic, a timber frame structure features walls consisting of timber studwork fixed in place (typically) with OSB or plywood. The strength and rigidity is supplied by the board, which, when nailed to the studwork, makes a very rigid box known as an open panel — the panel is ‘closed’ once insulation has been introduced.
The frame is wrapped on the outside with a waterproof barrier, which is then wrapped by the external wall elements, which can be: brick, stone, cladding, tiles, render.
