Timber Open-Frame System (traditional)

Timber frame is second only to cavity wall in popularity to the volume builders. The structure of the building is made up of timber stud framework which is infilled with insulation and clad with boarding on the inside and with a variety of possible claddings on the outside - including timber, brick or tiles. An open-frame is one where the timber structure is first erected followed by infilling and cladding.
