Timber Frame Design |
|
Across the developed world more people choose timber frame than any other building system, with timber frame accounting for some 70% of low-rise family housing. For over 38 years Thomas Mitchell Homes have built houses of all shapes and sizes, right up to multi-storey flats, using their timber frame expertise.

Today, all buildings must conform to new thermal efficiency standards and because timber is such a good natural insulator, enhancing the efficiency of the insulation materials, our timber frame buildings have been meeting and exceeding these standards for years. Our homes are more comfortable to live in and thanks to the excellent insulation of the structural shell, the whole home heats up more quickly, without any cold areas. Better insulation, hand in hand with detailed draught proofing, means a smaller boiler is required, thus lowering heating bills and creating a cosier more comfortable home.

The structural timber frame is so strong that it takes all the loads of the house itself without needing to use the outer cladding at all. This is a significant safety factor built into the design of our homes. Today, many different forms of wall section are available bringing even further benefits to the builder and the end user.
