Homes that are
manufactured using Timber Frame Technology 
tend to look exactly
like their brick and block counterparts. The block inner skin
of the external wall is replaced with a timber frame structure
and
the external leaf is either brick or stone, thus giving the
appearance of a traditionally built home. See diagram
Timber Frame
Construction gives the client many advantages, including the
reduction in heat loss from the structure and the rapid on site
speed of build.
As we make the
timber frame element of your home within our factory workshop in
Northumberland, no on-site time is lost due to inclement
weather. Lost time causes unnecessary delays to completion and
can ultimately tie up capital in a project for longer than
anticipated. reduced build time will enable earlier
occupation as well as reducing the overall costs.
A timber frame house can be
completed in weeks rather than months, and its supporting
structure, once erected provides a weatherproof shell for other
trades to work within.
Timber frame
structures are environmentally friendly. The wood used is
treated whenever possible with Osmose Naturewood, an
environmentally sound preservative. It is sourced from managed
forests where more trees are planted than are cut down.
Timber uses about 20% less energy than other construction
materials to bring it to finished grade.
Its simple to use and gives value for money.
Timber is recyclable and comes from a sustainable resource.

The use of Masonite beams is
another alternative to traditional build. these beams are
structurally engineered using high-grade flanges with a Masonite
structural board insert for the web. Used within walls or floors
(different products) they offer lightweight construction,
greater span potential than some other materials, strength and
versatility, together will space to accommodate a greater depth
of insulation (such as Warmcel).
