Driven by new findings from research and practice, as well as by the development of new and better materials, modern timber frame construction was able to consistently gain market share over the past 40 years. Even at the beginning of this development, standards in energy-saving construction were set with the construction method.
They compare well, even with today's structures and current legal requirements. Nowadays, timber frame constructions are increasingly implemented in multi-storey residential buildings, as well as commercial and administrative structures. Timber frame construction is also well suited for renovation, heightening or extensions, thanks to its low weight and short construction time.
Advantages of timber frame construction
- Healthy living atmosphere thanks to natural,moisture-regulating materials and high insulation characteristics
- Highest insulation values combined with reduced wall thicknesses optimize the floor space
- High quality and short construction periods through high level of prefabrication
