Timber Frame Construction: What are the Benefits?
Pasquill specialise in high quality timber frame construction and we manufacture all of our timber frame wall panels with your needs in mind. Our UK timber frame solutions are easy to use, durable and suitable for a range of different projects, including timber frame extensions.
UK Timber Frame Construction
Using prefabricated internal and external stud walls, roof trusses and floor joists, we create sustainable structural frames which transmit all vertical and horizontal loads to the foundation. All of our timber frame solutions are bespoke and designed using Woodengine software specially tailored to suit the needs of each specific project.
Timber frame panels can be quickly erected on-site with either a timber roof construction formed from trussed rafters or joists to form a flat roof. Once the roof has been made watertight this allows the builder to carry out internal works under shelter whilst outer cladding and roof finishes are being worked on. Timber frame construction allows any form of cladding to be used, so you are free to choose from timber or masonry for your decoration.
Our timber frame components are manufactured from supporting sustainable forestry, from either FSC® or PEFC certified sources, which are sourced from fast-growing softwood trees, making them easier to work with. These timber frame wall panels are made up of vertical studs and horizontal rails, and an oriented strand board (OSB) wood-based panel sheathing which aids wind resistance.
When you choose Pasquill for your timber frame solution, our experts will take the time to listen to your needs and ensure that you are provided with an effective solution for your chosen application.
