In addition to Timber Frame Structures we also offer complete Structural Packages, including the sub floors, pre-fabricated walls and roof structure. Our structural packages efficiently integrate the Timber Frame and building Envelope and are:


  • Energy Efficient
  • Design and Engineered to work in the Canadian climate
  • Accurately Manufactured in factory conditions
  • Fast to assemble, saving valuable time on site
  • Offered for a fixed price

 

Pre-Fabricated Walls


Features include:

  • 2" x 6" Framing (Studs, headers , LVL's and Parallams as necessary)
  • R24 Roxul Insulation and Vapour Barrier
  • All window and door opening engineered in and lined with membrane
  • OSB or Plywood sheeting for rigidity
  • R5 Rigid Insulation and furrings
  • Sill gasket
  • Lifting straps built in
  • All Structural mounting points built in
  • Ready for siding and interior finish

Pre-fabricated walls are accurately manufactured in the factory and fast to install, saving valuable time on site. The walls are also fully structural and can be used 'stand alone' in a Hybrid Structure.





 

Sub Floor Systems


Packages include:

  • Tri-Force Engineered wood joists
  • Joist hangers if necessary
  • OSB or LVL Rim Joists
  • LVL Beams where necessary
  • Knee walls
  • Reinforcement for exterior structures (Balconies, decks etc.)

In most Timber Frame buildings the large beams carry the structural load of the floors and are apparent within the living space. A sub floor is then built over the Timber Frame structure to create space for utilities.

 


Roof System


A typical cathedral roof system includes:

  • Structural Timber Frame
  • Tongue and Groove wood ceiling decking (pre-painted or stained)
  • 2"x 4" sleepers to reduce thermal bridging
  • Engineered Mono-Girder Secondary Rafters - (These Provide space for insulation and allow for cross flow of air within the roof)
  • Urethane insulation - Sprayed on site
  • OSB or Plywood Roof Sheeting
  • Waterproof Membrane
  • Steel or Shingles
  • Ridge Ventilation

Most Timber Frame Houses have a combination of some cathedral and some conventional or 'cold roofs'. Structural packages includes all roof trusses with Overhangs and soffits engineered in.
