Turner Timber Frames Company Profile
Turner Timber Frames is a family operated business that specialises in the design and manufacture of bespoke timber frame solutions including homes, roof trusses and engineered joists. The company has over twenty five years of experience in the timber construction industry and works closely with architects, builders and self-builders to create individual self-build designs through to large scale commercial developments.
Turner Timber Frames understands that every client has unique requirements and specifications for their project and takes great pride in tailoring the service to meet these needs. There is a choice of panel specifications that can be constructed on-site or as supply only.
Timber Frame Advantages
Timber frames are an eco-friendly, clean and fast method of construction and all wood is sourced from sustainable forests. Timber frame structures have many advantages over alternative construction methods, these include:
- 30% faster build times than brick and block
- Watertight in days
- Reduced drying out times and internal finishes can be completed faster
- Lighter foundations which are beneficial to difficult locations
- Reduced use of materials and handling
- Environmentally friendly as wood is carbon neutral
- Accurate off-site production ensures an improved build quality
- Work can be carried out internally and externally at the same time
- Bespoke designs
Self-Builders
Turner Timber Frames can provide comprehensive advice and assistance by working closely with self-build clients. A range of services are available and can be tailored to satisfy particular requirements. A main contract manager will be appointed who will oversee the whole project throughout every stage offering guidance and advice where needed. The contract manager will work closely with the Turner Timber Frame team of experts including a leading timber frame engineer who will provide a full set of calculations, the production department and the professional erectors. This service ensures that a project will be completed on-time and within budget. A full building regulation application will be required prior to any work being carried out and Turner Timber Frames can provide assistance in producing this information.
Timber Frame Specification
There are three main wall specification packages available, the Standard, Plus and Advanced. Whichever package is selected, all are manufactured from high quality 140 x 38mm pressure treated timber. This forms the extremely inner core of a property and provides adequate space for insulation which will satisfy and exceed current building regulations. The panel construction is made for a series of vertical studs at 600mm centres, running a top and bottom rail. The external panel face is covered with a 9mm OSB 3 board which comes with a choice of breather membranes that offer waterproofing and thermal benefits. For the Advanced and Plus packages a service cavity area for pipework and cables has been introduced to save time drilling through the frame and avoiding any risk of penetrating the vapour control layer to the internal face.
- Standard Frame
The Standard frame package is a tried and tested wall specification that will satisfy and exceed current building regulations and will provide a strong and cost effective structure.
- Plus Frame
The Plus frame has the same benefits of the Standard frame but includes a foil vapour control layer with rock laths attached to form a cavity for service pipes and wires.
- Advanced Frame
The Advanced frame includes a highly sophisticated foil breather membrane with a metallised, low emissivity surface that increases thermal performance by maintaining constant room temperatures and reflecting summer heat away, keeping the building cool. The Advanced frame provides an incredible 0.14W/m2k U-Value.
Easi Joists
Easi Joist is a metal web floor system that provides superior benefits over sawn timber and other engineered floor joist systems. Easi Joist out-performs sawn timber in span and dimensional stability and has the added benefits of a greater bearing area and an open web system that is easier for service installations, reducing valuable time and expense. Key benefits of Easi Joist include:
- Can be run over longer, continuous spans and is delivered on-site ready to be cut to length with a custom designed plan
- Lightweight, easy to handle and install
- Long term stability as the metal web creates less shrinkage
- The metal web floor system allows for the installation of a rigid Strongback that reduces vibration and improves the overall performance of the floor
