Oak Framed Extensions

Timberpride Oak Framed Extensions

Oak Framed Extensions

Oak framed extensions are the environmental choice for creating an additional living space in your home. The finished result is beautiful and will last for hundreds of years. An oak frame is lighter than concrete, so the foundations can be simpler.

Whatever you prefer to call it – garden room, conservatory, extension, we can help you achieve your vision right from the initial design through to the finished product.

There are endless design solutions for oak framed extensions, so initially we will listen to you and get a good understanding of your requirements to understand exactly what you’re looking to achieve based on the design and budget. We can then start working on the project by designing a oak timber frame that fits with your brief.

Adding Value

As with any oak framed extension, you can expect to see an increase in property value. When considering an oak frame into the mix this is further amplified due to the luxurious nature of the wood used. What may seem like a bigger investment will return dividends in the potential resell value.

Quick Assembly

After agreeing the design, the oak beams are cut and the frame is manufactured in Tetbury for delivery to site in components for site assembly or part assembled. This is much quicker and more accurate that full manufacture on site. Oak frames are lighter than concrete and brick structures so often require smaller, cheaper foundations so the work can be completed faster.

Everything is bespoke

A Timberpride oak frame can last for many hundreds of years and will always be made of genuinely sustainable oak. We can even tell you where the tree was grown!

Oak Framed Extension Design

All our oak framed extensions are made to order by our team of skilled carpenters, setting out British Oak beams on trestles in our Cotswold workshop. Each oak joint is measured, drawn and scribed before cutting and shaping the mortice and tenons by hand. Each carpenter will work exclusively on your oak framed extension and will carve his initials in a secret place where they will not be found for hundreds of years.

Extras to consider when installing an oak frame with us

What is fixed face glazing?

We glaze our Oak frames using air-dried English oak cover boards to clamp glass in place, forming a weathertight seal by compressing closed cell memory foam between the oak and the glass. Having a small degree of flexibility in the method, the timber can move up to 6mm without causing bending stress on the glass.

The benefit of this glazing method is the complete coverage of the internal mortise and tenon joints, shielding them from outside weather conditions.

External Staircases

External staircases are a popular because they don’t waste any internal space. Fully bespoke designs mean we can customise elements such as treads, risers, handrails and balustrades to satisfy building regulations as well as the aesthetic needs of the building. We can design the perfect oak staircase, maybe even incorporating a balcony for a sunset tipple.

Weather durable and aesthetically beautiful, a bespoke oak staircase can see generations of use and remain strong.

Case Study

The kitchen extension project in rural Gloucestershire was a transformative endeavor that blended old farmhouse aesthetics with modern functionality. Tthe extension featured a vaulted roof and a picturesque glazed gable end screen, offering Cathy and Kevin an airy and captivating space.

Luxurious Cotswold Kitchen

Additionally, Timberpride’s craftsmanship extended to the kitchen’s design, where tall oak wall cabinets and cream-colored units were meticulously crafted to complement the high oak kitchen ceiling.

Sustainable Oak Construction

We believe it is our responsibility to make maximum use of every magnificent oak tree that we bring into our yard. Harvesting a tree that was planted by our great-great grandparents’ generation which has now reached maturity is an honour.

Each saw log is selected for the job, considering length, girth, knots and efficiency. Not only do we produce beams, we take boards form the outside which, grade dependent, are used for cladding, joinery or flooring thereby maximising the yield from what might be a 120 year old tree.

We are proud that nothing is wasted. Only the bark and slabbing boards, pieces too small or rotten knot pockets which can’t be used are chipped to fire our biomass boiler, heating the workshop, office and kiln.
