Be it a simple deck frame post or an elaborate custom build, natural timber can accent your project to the next level. Often associated with the highest form of building, timber can elevate even the simplest designs to award winning homes.

How Timber Framing Can Add to the Appearance of Your Home

It’s all on how you use this product to give you the feel that you’re looking for. The basic element starts with gable accents. Natural wood offers a look that is unsurpassed by most manufactured products. Be it the use of cedar shakes in your gable areas or true milled dimensional lumber, this look will set off the appearance of your home in comparison to your neighbors. Whether you simply accent on one peak or transition in to all your roof accents, timber accents will add dimension to your home. Take this to the next level by using this product as a load-bearing product, which also can be used as an accent. Your deck posts or front porch supports will be well noticed in comparison to dimensional lumber. Step this up again to a full timber frame front entry and wow the passers by.

Endless Possibilities of Use

The cost involved can defiantly compare to the area in which you live, and the readily available materials. This being said, timber is not as expensive as most seem to think by using as an accent. For the customer who is looking for a wow factor inside and out, the options available are endless. From a full timber frame home including post and beam load bearing structure, to simply achieving this feel with a hybrid contemporary feel, there is no better way to use a natural product to highlight an amazing home. The possibilities are endless and pairing yourself with both the right designer or draftsperson will give you the tools you need to create a vision that will be noticed by all who visit your home!
