Quality timber frame buildings

Timber Frame Buildings!

Timber Frame Cabins-Offices-Studios, A Granny Annex, and so on, should now be built to the Euro 5 Code, however, sadly 99.9% of structures, timber frame or log dwellings which need to comply do not!

In the UK for instance, most weight bearing walls are manufactured using the lowest Grade C16 for any weight bearing area, as this is the UK’s minimum allowance. Now we are very different, we believe quality should not come with a high cost, and safety comes before profit. All our timber frame buildings have the highest-grade timber C24.

What also stands us out from the rest of the trade is our very thick, high strength framework. Our walls for a normal size office, or garden Studio are from between 210mm to 400mm, our roofs can be a from 250mm to 600mm and the floors can be from 200mm to 500mm depending on the U values needed, and climate conditions.

If you are looking for a quality timber frame, Siberian clad office, garden room, or just a high spec. high quality utility room, with super high insulation values and low costing, please give us a call or send us an email today!

Timber Frame Insulated Workshop-Office

When Mike Sharp called us from Pronto Logo, he was looking for a Timber Frame Work Shop for his garden so he could work from home and save thousands each year on renting a premises.

Mike gave us a plan of what he was looking for, and over a couple of weeks we helped him refine his needs, we then put his Siberian Larch Clad insulted timber frame office/workshop into production.

Mike has told us that its so well insulated you can not hear the machinery from outside, also he has had no reason to heat it!

Mikes words to describe his Larch Timber Frame work shop is … “” I am tickled Pink”” with it!!…

As we always tell people, quality does not cost a lot, its just finding the right manufacturer, builder and waiting a few months for delivery. Mike is extremely happy, and has sent these photos of his beautiful fully insulted larch clad office/workshop for us to show you all!

Is the roof able to withstand high winds?

Are the windows and doors triple-glazed, with toughened glass? CE certified?

Can you walk on the roof?

Is the floor highly insulated?

Where was the timber sourced from to build your Timber Frame Office?

Was it exposed to rain and wind while sitting in the whole sellers, is it all Trada graded C24?

Are the panels pre-made in a Factory by skilled House Manufacturers, or are they offering to build from scratch your timber frame garden office in your garden? or is it made in a shed by 3 guys and a dog?

Questions, and more questions.

Sadly so many companies now are trying there hardest to get into the garden market! Offering all kinds of deals and bargains.
