Loadbearing - Timber frame

Loadbearing - Timber frame

Timber frame buildings utilise a timber framework to provide structural support. Typical applications range from private dwellings though to hotels, nursing homes and community buildings. The framework is strengthened with plywood or other sheet materials, which provide the stiffness to withstand lateral loads. Vapour and moisture control are incorporated and the outer leaf is constructed to add aesthetic appeal and durability. British Gypsum products are used extensively to form the internal elements comprising external wall linings, partitions, separating / compartment walls and floors, cavity barriers, ceiling linings and ceiling membranes below roof spaces.
