An entryway can create a welcoming feel and a pleasing focal point. A timber frame entryway embraces all who enter there with its natural warmth and beauty. As a technique that can truly be defined as old world craftsmanship, timber framing has been a standard of aesthetically pleasing long lasting durability for centuries.

As simple to implement as it is, each project is a masterpiece in and of itself. Adding a new look to the entryway of a home can boost the value and curb appeal of a home without major structural changes or high upgrade costs.

The mortise and joint system of timber framing not only dramatically changes the outward appearance quickly and easily, with simple details, the overall look can appear as if it was the integral part of the beginning structure. For example, knee braces can be placed under the eaves of a building for a grandeur feel with cosmetic profile beams creating a vision of a timber frame roof structure.

Adding timber frame elements to an existing residential or commercial building is very versatile with its combinations of beam profiles, knee braces and trusses an entryway can be created to appear as rustic, contemporary or elegant as you like at a fraction of the cost of other cosmetic improvements. As a bonus to boosting the home’s interior or exterior style, timber has more energy efficient properties that can be a practical benefit in reducing energy costs in many cases.

Wood is naturally warm and inviting but it also has innate qualities that give it more durability than imitation or inelastic materials. Timber frame is naturally elastic and able to compensate for structural movement and is more conducive to responsible architectural design than inelastic materials. The ground has continual seismic vibrations moving side to side as well as moving up and down. In old world architectural designs using the dovetail tenon and mortise joints allowed for timbers to compensate for seismic movements without the use of mechanical devices and added cladding required with inelastic materials.
