Wood frame walls and structures

Maximum Savings

Timber frame walls offer significant financial and time advantages over other construction methods. Their lightness and efficient assembly make construction significantly faster and cheaper.

Ecological Solution

We source our materials from PEFC-certified timber suppliers who promote sustainable forestry based on a comprehensive approach that takes into account ecological, social and economic criteria.

Fast assembly

Fast assembly is one of the biggest advantages of timber frame constructions. Industrially prepared frames, light material and simple construction make this type of structures one of the most efficient solutions in the construction industry.

Advantages of Timber Frame Walls

Time saving

Compared to other types of construction, timber frames are clearly a much faster and more efficient solution in terms of assembly.

If building walls from blocks is a time-consuming process that would require more than a month for a building of approximately 150m2 house, then it is possible to install a timber frame solution in about a week. Timber frame, pre-fabricated to design, is approximately 4x faster to install than masonry block walls.

Price comparison

In terms of price, timber frame houses can be more advantageous than block wall structures. They are easier and more efficient to install than block wall structures, which means that timber frame houses can be installed both faster and cheaper. In addition, due to the quick and simple assembly of the timber frame, the customer has the opportunity to save financial resources on construction costs.

Unlimited possibilities

When designing timber frames, it is possible to adapt various solutions. Constructions of this type are suitable for various types of buildings - from a small garage to the most complex architectural solutions. The versatility of timber frames ensures that builders and architects have the creative freedom to realize their visions.

Ecology

Eco-friendly solutions are highly valued these days, which means that timber frame solutions have a number of sustainable benefits. The timber used in the Tenter comes from managed forests, making it a renewable resource. In addition, the possibility of using environmentally friendly insulation materials further contributes to the benefits of this construction method for ecological growth.

Assembly speed

One of the most important aspects of timber frame structures is their quick assembly process. Industrially prepared frames, light material and simple construction make this type of structures the most efficient solution in the industry.

Timber Frame Production

1.Supply

We start the production process of timber frames with the procurement of materials.

Tenter's frames use C24 marked timber, which is ordered from the best and largest suppliers. During the procurement of materials, the manager of the production plant always performs a visual gradation of the material to ensure its quality.

2. Timber Frame Production

After the materials are procured, the material is moved to the sawmill where it is cut to length with an automatic saw to ensure accuracy and quality.

Once the timber is sawn, the materials are moved to a framing machine where the framing is assembled to the design specification.

3. Delivery

We make the delivery by agreeing on the desired dates and times in advance. We use our vehicle equipped with a manipulator to unload Tenter's frames at the delivery location - this type of vehicle equipped with a manipulator is powerful enough for us to carry out assembly work.

4. Timber Frame Assembly

Before the assembly is carried out, it is necessary to ensure that the foundations are built. The next step in the production process of timber frames is assembly. Tenter offers two solutions:

1. The customer has the opportunity to assemble by himself or together with his partners - in this case, the Tenter team will advise you before the assembly and hand over a plan that will help assemble the necessary solution. By separate agreement, we will also offer all necessary assembly elements.

2. Tenter assembly team – Professional assembly is what will help you install the timber frame elements of the house in a short period of time. Our experience starts with the simplest private houses or garages, up to complex roof construction projects.

We recommend that you trust Tenter's professional team, who will help you with the installation.

Frequently asked questions about timber frames

Is timber frame construction a suitable solution for commercial buildings?

Yes, timber frames are suitable for a wide range of building types, including commercial buildings. The design adaptability of this structure makes it a popular choice for a number of construction projects, from small private homes to large commercial projects.

How does timber frame construction contribute to sustainability?

Timber frame construction can be sustainable in a number of ways. The use of timber from responsibly managed forests ensures the renewal of resources. In addition, the energy-efficient solution of frame buildings reduces their impact on the environment, and the possibility of using environmentally friendly insulation materials further improves sustainability.

Are frame buildings as durable as those built by other methods?

Professionally built to engineering standards, timber frame buildings are just as durable as those built using other construction methods. The use of quality C24 timber and fasteners ensures the structural integrity of the building.

Why choose Tenter frame solution?

High design efficiency, as well as excellent precision and quality in production, using the latest technologies, allow SIA Tenter to be among the leaders in this field.

What thickness frames can we make?

We can make frames with a thickness of 145 mm - 245 mm. We use 95 mm for partition walls and 145 mm - 245 mm for external walls, so that it is possible to lay thermal insulation in the external walls.

What is the lifespan of timber frame walls?

The service life of timber frame walls depends on several factors, including the construction process and the materials used.
Using high-quality materials and following building codes, a frame building can have a lifetime warranty.

Is timber frame construction cheaper than other construction methods?

Yes, timber frame structures are often a more cost-effective solution compared to other construction methods. The simple assembly process, wide availability of materials and reduced labor costs contribute to its profitability.

What is the construction period for timber frame buildings?

Construction of frame buildings varies depending on the size and complexity of the project. However, the construction of a frame structure is usually faster compared to other methods.

How long will it take to build a timber frame project?

The time it takes to build a timber framing project can vary depending on the complexity of the project. On average, a project is created in 2 days, during which you will learn both the costs of the frameworks and the costs of assembling the structures.
