Frame

Timber framing is the most common framing system used in residential buildings. The basic components of a frame are vertical support beams used in walls, called studs and horizontal supports in roofs and floors called joists. Lightweight floor and roof supports featuring triangle-shaped webbing are called trusses. The majority of wall studs are made from single beams, while corners and intersections are made from two or three studs joined together for extra support. Some type of wood sheathing, typically plywood, is added to the exterior of the home's skeleton to provide additional structural support.

Floor

Timber flooring comes in many styles such as tongue & groove and direct stick. Tongue and groove flooring consists of timber boards that have a tongue on one side and a groove on the other so that they lock in together when laid. Direct stick flooring consists of tongue & groove timber that is stuck directly to the concrete slab.
