Timber Frame Construction is a sustainable form of construction where the use of metal, including nails, is not practiced.
Each timber 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 frame house to anyone who is concerned with being environmentally conscious.
