Timber framing is a style of framing that uses no metal fasteners, relying on mortise and tenon joints or hardwood dowels to lock, hold and fasten everything in place. It can be done using large, oversized pieces of lumber and can be incorporated into solitary structures such as gazebos or pergolas. It can also be added to an existing structure such as a porch to create shade and cover. Timber framing can be done on the interior of homes, buildings, and cottages by creating beams to give the illusion of large pieces of lumber, without adding additional weight. The beautiful visual appeal of timber framing is what attracts homeowners to add this element and incorporate the rustic aesthetic of it into their home design and style.
The construction method of timber framing is unique and unlike anything else– truly differentiating home styles from one to the other. Timber Framing has been around for centuries and was very common in wooden buildings from the 19th century and earlier. This is a true testament to its strength, durability, and beauty. The artfully exposed timber and trusses secured with wooden pegs of a finished timber frame creates beautiful interior spaces with distinct personality and a unique style and feel.
