Oak Framed Buildings

What makes an oak frame special? Oak makes an extremely suitable building frame for many reasons. Strength and robustness are vital for most building frames, as they must support the heavy load of a roof and possibly a storey above, and also withstand the huge forces of nature. Your frame will be designed to make the most of the material's strength, with specific attention paid to high-stress areas. Low maintenance and durability are also key benefits, as oak is naturally hard and durable, becoming increasingly so as it ages. Additionally, natural wood is a very beautiful building material, allowing for artistic input and personalized design elements. To utilize all the benefits of oak takes a wealth of experience, which Paul Rigden and his team possess.
