Post & Beam Technology
Black Sheep House, Grand Designs, Channel 4, 2008 Award, Best Home
A post & beam timber frame is a skeleton of a structure that is engineered with large timbers connected by using mortises
and tenons which are secured by wooden pegs or dovetails that lock together.
Any shape can be achieved and the structure and joinery is visible as seen in cathedrals, barns and houses which can create an old fashioned feeling.
The warmth of the wood, the strength of the structure and the craftsmanship of the joinery produce graceful homes that are as energy efficient as they are beautiful.These traditional methods of construction can be combined with modern building methods to produce unique, personal, quality homes.
