Hybrid Timber by
CanadaLog
If you love the look of timber frame homes but are concerned about
the cost of an authentic timber frame construction, hybrid timber is
just for you. Our hybrid timber frame kits provide you with the look
and feel of structural post and beam at affordable prices.
In a hybrid timber design, the shell of the home is designed and
built using conventional techniques (e.g., stick framing, log,
pre-engineered panels), then non-structural timbers are added to the
finished shell to replicate the look of a timber frame structure. |
|
This
technique yields many benefits to you in terms of appearance and cost:
|
|
-
you get to decide where
timbers will be placed
-
you can choose the
timber spacing, the size, and even the wood species
-
conventional framing
crews can be used to build your home, as opposed to
expensive specialty timber crews
-
insulation, plumbing,
electrical and heating are simplified as these are
accomplished per conventional shell construction
-
you can choose between
a solid pine timber, or a hollow machined timber
-
as none of the timbers
are load-bearing, you can design a look that is to your
liking
-
the timbers can be as
few, or as many as you want
|
|
In a pure timber frame construction you only have so much say in
where timbers will go, how many there will be, and their size,
among other things. That is because each timber is a load
bearing element. In hybrid timber construction all of these
constraints are removed as none of the elements bear a load.
That means you have near infinite control over the final
product. |
|
The frame of the home can be covered with most
any type of wall system, although generally, a structurally
insulated wall panel – or SIP is used. The joints that connect each
post and beam element can be any of a variety of types including
mortise and tenon joinery, dovetail, knee brace, or even old-style
scarf and peg, where a hardwood peg is literally hammered into a
through hole to secure the joint. The possibilities with timber
frame construction are virtually endless. Our kits feature all that
is necessary to create a timber frame shell: |
-
all pine timber elements
including posts, beams, girts, knee braces, rafters and plates
-
exterior wall system complete
with finished sheathing (pine, lap siding, board and batten)
-
all supporting stick frame
elements including walkout walls, kneewalls, gable ends, dormers and
and overhangs
-
engineered floor system and
sheathing
-
engineered roof truss system,
sheathing and shingles
-
all interior partitions and
doors
-
all exterior doors and windows

"Building our cottage on the
Ottawa River has been a project of the heart from the onset. We knew
it would be a place to relax, enjoy the peace and quiet, and a place
to re-connect. Finding someone who could understand our vision and
appreciate our motivation was something we really worried about. This
place would need special people to build it. And we found them all.
Paragon is a lot of different people who do their jobs very well.
From the beginning, we felt very comfortable and at ease with
everyone. They never minded our countless questions, emails, or phone
calls and we were warmly welcome all times at their offices or on the
job site.
Paragon designed our cottage.
Standing in it today, it is so very obvious how they honoured all the
details that were so very important to us. With their considerable
experience in the business, they could take our ideas, improve and
embellish them, adding touches we never would have even dreamed about.
They enhanced our vision. And when it needed to be done, they also
helped us alter our vision to suit the reality of our building site
and our budget.
We are not experts in house
construction and our huge gaps in understanding sometimes made the
building process stressful. Again, Paragon was there; managing the
project; patiently answering our questions; anticipating our concerns;
explaining the situation; and, supporting us along the way. Building
our cottage would have been impossible without their expertise (and
good sense of humour!)
 The
cottage that we envisioned is now a reality. Even before we moved in,
it is full of stories of interesting people. All the contractors and
the sub-trades left their mark and are part of the fabric of our
cottage. They did wonderful work and we cannot be more pleased with
the outcome. If we had to do
it all again, we would unquestionably run back to Paragon. They earned
our trust and our respect."
Dr. Paris Vachon
