In 1984, Hearthstone began crafting TimberFrame homes
from boxed heart of white oak. Our timberwrights, having garnered years of experience in
the art of log building, found timberframing to be a natural extension of their
skills. Timberframing, an ancient method of construction which is distinguished by
its massive posts and beams interlocked with mortise & tenon joinery, can be designed
to complement any building style.
Hearthstone can now craft TimberFrames in the wood of
your choice. The frame is planed, sanded, oiled, and then left exposed on the
interior of the home - creating a breathtaking effect of open spaces and craftsmanship
rarely seen in this century. The exterior of the frame is covered with a highly
energy-efficient blanket of foam core panels. The result is a home of unmatched
beauty, value, energy efficiency, and design flexibility.
