Timber Frame HomesOur Timber Frame Homes are generally dense
massive oak timbers, planed and oiled, connected with variations of
mortise-and-tenon joinery and wooden pegs. Timber Framing is done without
the use of mechanical fasteners. We can accommodate preferences for other
wood species to be used for the frame. The roof and walls are applied
outside the frame with “stress skin” panels making for a cost effective
and energy efficient enclosure system. When utilizing 5 ½” core panels in
the walls we get approximately an R-25 and utilizing a 7 ¼” core panels on
the roof approximately an R-35 is achieved. Panels generally are 4’ or 8’
wide and up to 28’ in length. The finished exterior on Timber Frames can
be any conventional siding or finish. The amount of house that is Timber
Framed is a design decision and there is the possibility of utilizing
panels in areas that are not Timber Framed making for a very energy
efficient home. |
