How does Timber Frame Construction Work?
Timber Frame Construction is a sustainable form of construction where the use of metal, including nails, is not practiced. Each building frame is a unique wooden sculpture composed of large wooden beams that lock together with wooden pegs to form the visible interior. The wooden pegs act as a locking mechanism with the joints of the timbers. When the frame of the house is put together (either by hand or with the use of a crane) the only element that is holding the entire structure together is wood. The wooden pegs and timbers expand and contract harmoniously. We would certainly recommend a timber-framed house to anyone who is concerned with being environmentally conscious.
