Timber frame houses in Georgia have many advantages over stick construction methods. As sawmill efficiencies have increased over the past century, the use of stick construction came into popularity due to the less expensive construction and the quicker assembly. However, timber frame houses in Georgia are becoming more popular as homeowners a little extra to gain the beauty of a timber frame home and take advantages of some of the other benefits.
When timber framing is used in conjunction with structural insulated panels (SIPs), they become even more stable and in addition approach the newest energy savings standard for zero energy transmission. Because the energy flow is cut to less than a tenth that of a home build with stick construction, the heat profile of the home from top to bottom is almost homogenous. Without heat differentials, and built on a very stable frame, these homes are extremely quiet; no settling or deformation noise is produced. In fact, the construction is so solid that often a huge storm or an earthquake will leave the timber frame home untouched while all the stick construction homes around it have been flattened.
Because the SIPs are already insulated, adding insulation after the assembly is not required, as it is for stick construction. In addition, the insulation will not settle, leaving uniform resistance properties across the entire panel over time. The lack of temperature differential also releases the requirement of running ductwork outside the walls.
Timber frame houses in Georgia use the same amount of wood as stick construction, and often use less, making best use of this scarce resource. Along these same lines, there is almost no waste created at the construction site. The on-site construction is speedy: completion from subfloor to insulated structure can be accomplished in as little as two weeks. This allows the contractors to finish the work comfortably and easily in almost any weather conditions. It also minimizes the exposure of the unfinished structure to the elements.
Doors and windows can be added anywhere to the structure at will without diminishing the overall structural integrity of the home. In fact, changing doors and windows can also be done at will without any structural or insulation concerns. This is not only true for the exterior, but the interior as well. Homeowners do not need to be concerned about load bearing walls: there aren’t any in a timber frame home. Areas can be left open to a height of several stories; rooms can be built and separated in any configuration, and using any material.
