How are timber-framed houses different from masonry ones?
In simple terms, the inner block structure of a typical masonry house is replaced with an engineered timber frame structure, which can be insulated with CFC-free insulation board and natural mineral wool insulation, and finished with plasterboard to the inside. The outside of the frame is then clad in brick, block and render, stone, tiles, timber or proprietary boarding to match the surrounding properties. Will a timber-frame house look different? No. Timber-frame houses can be clad in any of the materials listed above – brick, block and render, stone, tiles, timber or proprietary boarding – and can be given a Traditional, Cottage, Contemporary, Victorian, Tudor or any other style of appearance to suit its owners and the surrounding properties.
