Timberframe is the most popular method of construction in the developed world. Over 99% of all low rise buildings in North America and Scandinavia are built using this technique. Traditionaly in the UK since the 18th century, over 20% of houses have been Timber Frame. A Timber Frame house is lined internally with plasterboard and then skimmed with plaster. The outside is finished in standard block or brick and roofed with standard tiles or slates. The appearance of the Timber Frame home is no different from "all block" structure, however the Timber Frame home boasts superior heat retention

The external finish can be block, brick, stone, wood or any other cladding material or a combination of such materials can be used. Non-load bearing internal walls mean greater flexibility when designing the layout of your home. The lighter timber structure also results in greater design flexibility. You are not limited to the "boxed in" effect of the past.

A Timber Frame house is designed as a total unit with the walls, floor and roof being part of the same entity. This results in better structural integrity and greater stability. All the timber is kiln-dried, stress graded and treated with preservative to gaurantee its longevity. Timber Frame homes are built to last and carry the same Homebond Guarantee as any form of approved structure.

Production of the Timber Frame structure takes place in a dry, clean, quality controlled environment, much different from conditions on a typical building site. Precision factory-built components manufactured in a strictly controlled workshop environment results in a more accurate finish. All the difficult work is done in our workshop and this ensures that the building is exactly in accordance with the plans. Straight edges are straight and angles are exact. Everything fits precisely to give you exactly what was originally designed.

The rate of heat loss for an area is measured in 'U' values; the lower the number the better insulated the building is. A typical MoreHomes Timber Frame dwelling (100mm block skin, 50mm cavity and 140mm fibreglass in frame) achieves a 'U' value in excess of those required by Building Regulations.
