Materials Package

timber frame

Our vast experience tells us that frame stability is of paramount importance. Therefore, we have chosen Douglas Fir and Eastern White Pine as our primary materials for our timber frames. These species are the most stable green wood we have ever worked with, offering our customers a superior frame that will endure for generations. Other species available upon request. Species we support are as follows:

• The finest grades of Douglas Fir available (FSC® certified)
• #2 Eastern White Pine – boxed heart (#1 available in limited quantities. Available FSC certified)
• Port Orford Cedar – available upon request
• Reclaimed Douglas fir – available upon request

Timberpeg designs and manufactures both “traditional” and “Bent” style timber frame systems. Occasionally we incorporate both styles into the same structure. Only after a careful analysis of your space requirements can we offer you our opinion as to which style will be most effective for your particular needs and budget.

wall & roof trim

Installed between the roof deck and insulation to promote a cool, dry roof, vertical strapping ventilates the roof and helps keep the insulation effective.

The three main reasons that a roof needs to have ventilation are:

• To lower the temperature under the roof
• To create a way to expel the trapped heat and moisture
• To allow the air to circulate; preventing condensation from forming

structural insulated panels (SIPs)

Timberpeg offers several combinations of wall (R-23 to R-26) and roof (R-37 to R-58) enclosure systems to effectively deliver various interior and exterior design elements along with superior energy efficiency. A standard Timberpeg Package uses SIPs for the wall enclosures and either the Timberpeg Wrap & Strap System* or SIPs on the roof.
*The roof option will depend on your particular location and building requirements.

See “INSULATED ROOF ENCLOSURE” for details.
Some of the more notable benefits of using SIPs for the wall enclosure are:

• Allows faster assembly with fewer man-hours than other methods of enclosure
• High R-values are easily obtained (up to R-58)
• Fewer interruptions in the wall and roof mean fewer opportunities for air infiltration
• Provides additional strength to timber frames being built in seismic or hurricane prone areas of the country
• Using SIPs will gain points towards LEED Certification and Energy Star Certification.
  The structural insulated panel companies Timberpeg works with offer additional services such as pre-cutting for window and door openings and pre-cut chase for electrical runs, which also eliminates most job-site waste. SIPs manufacturers offer experienced installation services in many areas of the country.

insulated roof enclosure

Timberpeg offers both Structural Insulated Panels or the Timberpeg Wrap & Strap System as options for the roof enclosure because, depending on where you are building and your specific project needs, one may be better suited than the other.

As mentioned earlier in the “STRUCTURAL INSULATED PANELS” section, SIPs are sometimes used for the roof enclosure because of their fast assembly and ability to easily meet high R-Value requirements. Depending on your building requirements, SIPs can reach R-58, if needed.

The Timberpeg Wrap & Strap system is another option to using prefabricated SIPs. The Wrap & Strap system uses Polyisocyanurate (PIR) foam insulation, which is installed on site. This type of insulation offers R-6.4 per inch and thus an even thinner roof is possible for a given R-value.
