FAQs

Timber is a strong and reliable material that can withstand heavy loads, including those imposed by wind and earthquakes. Building codes and standards provide guidelines for ensuring the structural integrity and safety of timber-framed buildings.

Timber-framed buildings can be energy-efficient when combined with proper insulation and design considerations. Wood is a natural insulator, and timber-framed structures can achieve excellent thermal performance. Additionally, wood is a renewable resource, making timber-framed buildings a sustainable choice for energy-efficient construction.

With regular maintenance and upkeep, timber-framed buildings can last for several decades or even centuries. The longevity of a timber-framed building depends on various factors, including the quality of the timber, design considerations, climate conditions, and maintenance practices. Proper protection against moisture, pests, and fire can significantly extend the lifespan of these buildings.
