DWB Timber Frame Timber frame is a time honoured, proven construction method. Modular construction ensures accelerated build schedules while Off-site construction methods guarantee quality and dimensional accuracy.

The benefits of Timber Frame are numerous but include exceptional thermal insulation (U-values) frequently not achievable using other methods, affordability and speed. Significantly in a modern world, Timber Frame is the environmentally responsible choice.

Together, we are happy to accommodate your needs ranging from the supply only of a timber superstructure to the design, manufacture and construction of a complete project including insulation, joinery and external finishes.

DWB can supply Timber Frame panels to suit your development from a simple garage or extension through to multi-house developments, apartments and nursing homes.

Timber Frame panels can be produced using either traditional CLS timber with OSB sheathing or the Gang-Nail Plated System.

With the Gang-Nail Plated System it is possible to make direct savings over many other forms of construction. This has been achieved with a unique design using nail plate connecters to join the timbers. This produces rigidity in the frame and far lighter panels are produced, faster fixing methods employed and erection time on site is shortened.

With either system site speed is improved. Within days a weather tight building can be ready and produced at an all round cost that is lower than that of conventional methods. Timber Frame is lighter per cubic metre than most other forms of construction. This is significant when the COSHH and CONDAM regulations are considered, where parts of these relate directly to the distribution of materials and plant around the site.

These regulations are placing new demands on the building team, to ensure that materials and products are safe to be handled during construction and by the building user.
