oak timber frame products and buildings

Griggs Timber has been designing high quality, bespoke, oak framed structures including homes, garden buildings, and garages, made to your exact specifications and supplied in kit form for easy installation. 

Oak timber frames are interlinked structural beams using a variety of joists. It is a very traditional style of construction which lends itself to a variety of structures and is a very versatile building form.  Oak is not the only type of timber used in 'heavy' timber-framed structures, however, it is by far the most popular and it outranks the other timber types in terms of strength and durability.

Hardwoods like Oak, derive from slow growing broad leaved trees that take longer to reach maturity. The slow growth results in greater density and strength of the timber. Whilst softwoods are harvested from quick growing conifers making them easy to prepare and quickly available, hence cheaper, lacking however on durability and longevity. As a result, they need to be replaced sooner.

Advantages

Oak is known as one of the most durable and long-lasting timber materials on the market today. Oak frames and structures almost never sustain damage from termites, vermin, or the environment. This is due to the fact that oak trees grow slowly. An oak's cellular structure is denser than that of quickly-growing softwoods.

Natural Heat Insulation: It has excellent heat insulation because it is sealed to keep damp air from getting into contact with the interior of the building. Because oak doesn't need "pre-heating," unlike masonry-built buildings, oak-framed structures also heat up more quickly.

Water Resistance: Oak is extremely resistant to water absorption due to its thick structure and strong tannin content. Because it does not require weatherproofing, it is ideal for exposed frames and outdoor structures.

Custom designs: We offer custom designs to meet your specific needs and preferences, ensuring that your timber frame is unique and tailored to your project.

Speed and ease of construction The speed and efficiency of a building are most likely the most important and best factors to take into account. These criteria are definitely met by oak-framed structures, which may be built in a matter of days as opposed to the normal weeks when using bricks and blocks. On brick-built properties, mortar and plaster need extra time to dry, which frequently delays interior construction by several weeks.Our oak-framed houses have been carefully constructed to guarantee that they can be built fast and without difficulty.

Excellent customer service: Our team is dedicated to providing you with excellent customer service, from design to installation and beyond.

Resistance to Pests: Oak is very resistant to pest infestation and fungal attacks. The tannins in the wood make it poisonous to many pests. While extended moist exposure can cause dry rot damage, it is uncommon and significantly less prevalent than in softwoods.

Competitive pricing: We offer competitive pricing for our high-quality timber frames, ensuring that you get the best value for your investment.

Appearance: Oak has a distinctive appearance, with noticeable grain structures and a warm, honeyed hue that makes it an appealing choice for interiors. When used outside, oak has a silvered, worn appearance that blends seamlessly with natural elements.
