Beams, framing and roofing
Beams, Framing and Roofing timber is widely used in structural construction for load-bearing elements such as beams, joists, rafters, trusses and roof structures in both domestic and commercial buildings. It provides the primary structural framework that supports floors and roofs, and is also commonly used in extensions, barn conversions, restoration work and exposed architectural interiors where strength and visual character are important.
This application demands timber with high strength-to-weight ratios, good dimensional stability and reliable load-bearing performance over long spans. Species such as Douglas Fir (Oregon Pine) and European Larch are valued for their strength and stiffness, making them ideal for structural framing and roof systems, while Elm and English Oak (including structural and restoration grades) offer exceptional durability and longevity, particularly in heritage applications. European Redwood Pine and Hemlock provide more cost-effective, workable options for general framing, combining ease of machining with dependable structural performance when correctly graded and treated.
