Timber Frame

What is widely described as 'Timber frame' is not the only construction method available for wall construction. Other systems include Solid Wood Panels (SWP), an engineered wood system where the wall is manufactured from glue-laminated wood panels, and SIPS (Structurally Insulated Panels).

Glulam and LVL (see engineered wood section) can also used in the main framing of buildings, especially for large structures such as schools and visitor centres etc.
