TIMBER FRAME BUILDING

Timber Framing is a traditional method of building that dates back many centuries. It uses squared-off timbers that are joined using skilled wood-working techniques, such as dove tails, half-lap joints, mortise and tenon, etc. The strength of the posts and beams used in this type of framing allow you to utilize more living space within your building, compared to the bulky attic trusses and wasted space that accompanies other building methods. Its unique way of building and carrying load-bearing points is both beautiful and durable, standing the test of time.

Hybrid Timber Frame structures are a mix of conventional framing and Timber Framing. The use of this method allows you to cut back on some costs by having a few rooms framed with Timber, and the rest of the house being conventionally framed. It’s a beautiful way to incorporate the natural beauty of Timber Frames into any home.
