Timber-frame houses — complete guide

TFH: Timber-frame house

The TFH (Timber-Frame House):

• Is the most common timber structure
• The most economical and the fastest
• Built with great respect for the environment
• For buildings whose load-bearing structure is essentially made of timber pieces

The TFH is characterised by...

Ease of design

All your ideas can be brought to life, from the most classic to the most extravagant. We support you with technical advice while respecting your wishes and your budget.

Opportunity

We can build new homes, renovations, extensions, raised structures, terraces, various shelters and garages.

You will notice that a timber-frame wall is thinner than a masonry wall, and the extra habitable square metres are well worth having.

Speed

You will be surprised by how quickly your project is built.

Example: a 150 m² single-storey house with walls, frame and roof in 7 to 10 days.

Quality

We work with timber sections 30% larger than the French DTU standard, and a few clever touches will reassure you of our know-how and experience.

Follow-up

Day-to-day follow-up of your project, since design and manufacturing take place in our workshops.

Durability

Timber construction stands the test of time, as we can see in half-timbered houses 2 to 3 centuries old.

Entrusting us with your project is the guarantee of a dream coming true.

Self-build

Create, assemble, structure, nail, clad or insulate...

We can also support you in this approach for all or part of your secondary works, without compromising on the quality of your project, letting you benefit from our advice and from professional rates with our suppliers.

Insulation

Thermal insulation

Our buildings are designed with technical qualities allowing undeniable insulation, increasing your comfort and reducing your energy bill. The essential airtightness eliminates all risk of condensation and damp.

Sound insulation

This is a natural quality of wood, combined with a phenomenon of reduced resonance.
