Hardwood: Timber Frame Construction

Timber Frame Construction

Wood is the preferred material for construction with very high energy performance. It is primarily a natural insulator that easily handles the insulation problems of buildings, and the implementation process in wood construction is very advanced in terms of airtightness. For a given thickness, the thermal performance that one can obtain in wood construction is superior to any other constructive methods. Wood construction means shorter construction sites and it is significantly more appropriate than all other constructive solutions. It is also the most ecological material of construction that exists. Besides, wood construction does not support any approximate dimensions or calculations (one cannot just block a little hole or adjust a height just with a trowel), it is imperative to conceive the building in its slightest details before proceeding to the execution phase. This largely limits the unforeseen in construction sites.
