Self Build Timber Frame Demonstration with Frame Technologies

[@protectiongeek]

Excellent presentation, Simon. Thank you. You've answered a lot of my early questions about the composition and capabilities of timber frame construction.

[@frametechnologies1954]

Thank you Craig- glad to hear you enjoyed watching and found it useful.

Amazing video, very informative. Thank you.

[@seamuscostello9236]

Thank you, very easy to understand and will consider

[@brianfield792]

Thank you Simon,brilliant video,

[@yolomc2]

so did i get this right, you would use this instead a block wall ? but the brick wall outside still remains ? thanks in advance

[@frametechnologies1954]

Yes. The inside skin is timber frame instead of blockwork and is factory manufactured and pre insulated. Then you can have brickwork around the outside to clad it or lightweight cladding. Have a look at the case studies on our website for more information. They will give you an idea of the designs we have built and also shows its flexibility.

@@frametechnologies1954 thanks will do sir 👍

I'm building a timber frame and want to use external tiles on the outside can I use them tile backer boards with blue insulation inside fixed to the timber frame?

Hi, if we raise square frames 5 by 3 meters with thickness and width of boards 5 by 30 cm, (for building a cube cabin by conecting then these frames), would the lap joints of the frames be stronger with bolts or screws? And would there be necesary for extra corner strengthening triangular bars ? ( the cabin is planed to be made with 10 such frames with a distance of 70 cm in between, conected with 70 cm pieces of the same board)

Great video, very informative

A flat roof option for timber framing would really expand the types of house that can be created.

[@oyster3145]

Flat roof's are rare in the uk so I think thats why they don't provide that option

[@desiinuk786]

Hi I am interested in further information.please advise.

[@DSkimRS]

any decent joiner/carpenter can fit PIR board perfectly on site...

[@anthonythomas6012]

Excellent presentation. Is this option more expensive than the traditional way?

[@frametechnologies1954]

Hello, AnthonyThomas - thank you for your comment. Building today using timber frame systems manufactured offsite in a precision-controlled factory environment is no more expensive than traditional methods. In most cases for self-builders who want to build their own energy-efficient homes for the future, timber frame delivers far better cost value. It makes it easier to achieve today’s design standards as it is a natural and airtight solution that is energy efficient. - Simon Orrells, Managing Director.

How is the base plate fixed? nailed through dpc ???

[@frametechnologies1954]

Hello Mike, thank you for your comment. It is nailed. The sole plate is mechanically fixed to the engineer's requirements through the sole plate and DPC into the concrete block updstand.

[@mikejames663]

@@frametechnologies1954 Mechanically fixed (nailed), contravenes building practise's though, putting numerous nail holes through a supposedly impervious damp proof membrane. Great video though.

[@AndrewMurray-g7v]

I think he's got a system

[@johnstack4316]

So what part of your building is actually a timber frame??? Don't see a single mortise or tenon or any white oak pegs.

[@DSkimRS]

the frame of the building is made with timber. hence; timber frame LMAO
