Timber
Frame Construction
Over
70% of the worlds’ housing is built using timber
frame construction methods in which a prefabricated
structural frame is used to swiftly erect the ‘skeleton’
of the house along with the roof, windows and doors.
Having formed a water and windproof shell, final internal
and external work can start simultaneously leading
to huge timesavings and lower cost construction when
compared with traditional UK type ‘block and
brick’ construction.

State
of the Art Technology
Modern techniques now mean that the structural frame
can be designed and engineered in a fully flexible way
that allows architects to design almost any type of
building using timber frame technology.
|
|
|
| Construction
projects from simple garden rooms to sports pavilions,
simple dwellings, bungalows, terraced housing, detached
executive homes, offices and high rise apartment blocks
can now benefit from the speed and simplicity of erection
that comes with timber framed construction techniques.

Energy
Saving
Today’s building regulations require higher and
higher levels of thermal insulation, which are easily
achieved with timber frame designs. Integral insulation
materials can be incorporated very simply at manufacturing
or instalment phases leading to energy saving properties
that can easily halve heating bills in some areas.
|
|
|
Environmentally
Friendly
Timber used in timber frame construction is a renewable
resource and utilises less of the worlds energy to deliver
the strength required to build a house. Growing trees
absorb carbon and produce oxygen meaning that, even
accounting fro transport, timber does not add to the
worlds greenhouse gases, unlike the production of concrete
or steel.
|
|
|
|
| In
short, there is no more environmentally friendly way
to build.
