Enclosures for timberframe homes

Enclosures

Whether it is simply the roof sheathing on a pavilion or the insulating roof and walls of a lived in structure, the timber frame must be protected from the elements. Often times our clients are comfortable handling the majority of the enclosure, but no matter if they choose to go it alone or bring us in to handle the heavy lifting, there's a wealth of skill and experience ready to go to work, bringing the building to a weatherproof state in a timely and appropriate fashion.

Enclosure panels are flown in with the crane We are set up to pre-manufacture stress skin sidewalls and roof panels for our frames. The timber frame raising is a primary milestone in any Timber construction project. Once the frame is raised the next objective is shedding water off of the frame. The completed enclosure allows the owner builder and/or the general contractor to install the roof and have a dried in structure.

Our crews regularly follow our frames around the block and across the country to complete this next critical path component of the building process. We use stress skin panels made by various panel manufacturers and our own Matrix wall enclosure system. Additionally we provide and install many species and grades of tongue and groove sheathing.
Whether we are hired to provide our enclosure services because of a lack labor on site, or the skills we offer, or the time we can save, the results are the same. When our enclosure team leaves, shortly after the frame is raised, the owner has a structure standing and enclosed, ready for windows and roof. It is ready for the local trades to finish the home. Panels are installed by the consturction groups
