You may choose timber as it’s quick, or you may be environmentally aware and find it can be a highly sustainable way of building.
But whatever your viewpoint, one of the reasons will certainly be that you love the way a traditionally jointed frame looks. The thrill may be having the ingeniously linked timbers all on show (as well as keeping the roof up over your head), or you may just like to reach out & touch the wood for its own sake. A traditional timber frame definitely has ‘Wow Factor’.
At Crossframes we take a pride in building very high quality frames, in oak but also in other timbers.
Frames for buildings full of character, built using traditional carpentry, mortices & tenons and pegged joints.
