Timber Frame as a construction method

Timber Frame is a truly modern methos of construction. It's a construction method which uses timber frame as the basic means of structural support for the building.

Even though this method is sometimes referred to as 'lightweight construction' it's actually remarkably strong and durable.

During construction, open panel timber frame is covered internally by plasterboard, filled with high performance insulation. Moisture/vapour barriers are incorporated and the outer leaf of the wall completes the structure. The outer leaf is typically stone, brick, render or timber to suit the local vernacular and planning requirements.
