Timber Frame construction refers to the use of large timbers traditionally fitted together with mortise and tenon joinery to form the structure of a building. In combination with AAC walls a beautiful, long lasting structure is created. AAC walls, in this case, are used for structure and timber framing is used for the roof systems. Non-traditional joinery with heavy steel connectors is also a wonderful way to get the timber frame feel for less cost. Locally sourced and reclaimed timbers with the use of small mills makes timber framing truly an environmentally sound method.
