Timber frame is one of the most popular structural systems for UK self-builds, valued for speed of erection and strong thermal performance. This guide explains open panel, closed panel, and structural insulated panel variants, how a timber frame build sequence differs from masonry, and what to check when choosing a supplier or package company.
For comparison with a factory-made panel system, see our Structural Insulated Panels Explained guide. The government’s Approved Document B provides technical guidance on fire safety in dwellings.
