Oak Framed Buildings – Why You Want One

What Are They?
To first explain why you’d want an Oak Framed building; we must first define what they are. Oak Framed Buildings are ‘what they say on the tin’, as it were. They are buildings which use Oak as material for the frames and supporting structures. They are typically used in rural homes to add to the natural look, although they are fine to be used elsewhere as well.

What Makes Oak Framed Extensions Special?
The unique thing about Oak Framed Buildings is the effect that they have on the homes where they are used. The gained effect is typically a stunning, very natural look which is brought about by a spacious, light-filled space created by the frames which basks the room in a natural beauty.
As well as this, oak framed buildings are quick to build, they can come in prefabricated formats, they are relatively cheap when you compare them to alternative materials, they are long-lasting and they are very robust when built and maintained in the correct way. They are also relatively easy to heat as oak is a very good conductor of heat.

Oak Framed Buildings really are very eco-friendly, despite what some people might think. The first thing that enters everyone’s minds when they hear ‘timber frame’ is deforestation, but the reality is that, while it is an issue, it isn’t a consequence of UK construction. Timber is completely renewable and is very much a non-toxic building material. What’s best of all in this regard? It’s a carbon-neutral form of construction, even when transportation has been taken into account.
