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.
