Modern Timber Frame Construction

A lightweight, modern construction method, this system pairs an engineered timber frame with a vented renderboard carrier and a thin-coat synthetic or silicone render finish. The structural frame is wrapped in a breathing membrane and fitted with vertical battens to establish a continuous ventilated cavity. High-performance, impact-resistant renderboards are fixed to these battens, acting as the stable base for a flexible, crack-resistant render system. This lightweight approach significantly reduces foundational loads, eliminates wet masonry trade delays on-site, and delivers a sleek, contemporary aesthetic alongside exceptional energy efficiency.
