Timber Frames

Surrounding an entire timber frame with SIPs provides harmony with beauty and efficiency.

Traditional construction and insulation methods allow thermal bridging and heat transference which reduce the R-value performance of the insulation material in the real world application.  Because a timber frame skeleton has no exterior stud walls, and the SIP panel exterior wrap is unbroken, the continuous wrap protects the SIP R-value integrity.

Advantages of Timbers and SIPs:

• SIPs add strength to timber frames

• Reduces air gaps and thermal bridging which equates to improved air quality

• Cost reductions with energy savings and smaller HVAC system required

• Shorter construction timespan

• Hybrid timber frame option for budget-minded to maximize the visibility while utilizing the SIP panels for load carrying
