The Power of Timber Frame Accents

  • Unforgettable First Impressions. Timber frame details add a sense of grandeur that visitors won’t soon forget. The substantial timbers, intricate joinery, the inherent beauty of natural wood – these details speak volumes about craftsmanship behind the build. Timber frame accents make customers stop and look, make neighbours say Wow, and make home buyers fall in love.

  • Timeless Appeal. Design trends come and go, but real, handcrafted timber has an everlasting appeal. The sense of history, connection to nature, and established quality is something that simply no other material can match. It’s an investment in curb appeal that never goes out of style.

  • Built to Last a Lifetime, and Beyond. Timber frames, especially Douglas fir timbers, are naturally resilient to the elements and are exceptionally strong. The inherent strength of the timbers, combined with the time-tested integrity of mortise and tenon joinery, creates a structure that stands strong against the elements and the passage of time. With minimal maintenance, these accents will age gracefully and deepen in character over the years.

Why should I choose a timber frame entrance or accent for my home?

 

Timber accents, including full timber frame entrances, transform a structure from ordinary to extraordinary. The sheer presence of these accents, with their exposed joinery and the natural beauty of the wood, commands attention and admiration. They become the focal point, adding depth, character, and a sense of grandeur that simply can't be replicated with other materials. It is a way to set your builds apart.

 

Timber frame construction has a rich history, evoking a sense of warmth, heritage, and connection to nature. The look and feel of real wood possess a universal appeal that transcends fleeting trends. For new builds, it can add a sense of establishment that makes a house feel like a home immediately.

 

When properly cared for, your timber frame accents will withstand the harshest weather conditions, including the temperature swings and seasonal changes common in areas like Ontario. This longevity translates to lasting value and, for builders, reinforces your reputation for building with quality.
