FAQs about timber frames
How much does it cost?
It's difficult to give an accurate estimate until all the relevant questions have been answered. The differences between open and closed panel systems reflect in the price, along with the size and type of property required.
What are the timescales?
The design calculation can take between two to four weeks and manufacturing of the panels could be expected in three to four weeks. The time taken between the erection of the timber frame package and the dry finish should be approximately two to four weeks.
Is a timber framed house at more risk of fires?
Unlike other forms of construction, timber frames do not bend at high temperatures. It also doesn't flake, allowing a slow and controlled loss of structural integrity making it a safer home to be in.
How long will the building last?
In Britain, timber framed buildings have been used for hundreds of years. Today's frames have the added benefit of superior timber, modern preservatives and advanced building practices so a new timber frame house will last as long as any other new home.
