Take another look at our timber frame image gallery and look for areas where the walls are supporting the timbers. With a timber frame roof design, we still use Structural Insulated Panels to insulate the roof. The 2x panelized walls also act as a support for the roof rafters that sit on the eave walls.
Our system offers hand-hewn, Appalachian rustic & round profiles creating superior authenticity & eye appeal. See our Log Home Profiles section in the photo gallery for pictures of our different corner systems and log profiles. The first line of defense with the hybrid wall systems from Natural Element Homes is the Huber ZIP System wall and roof sheathing. The Zip system eliminates the need for house wrap and roofing felt with its impregnated outer layer. • All of our timbers have thoughtful details, including routered edges and curved braces. Each timber frame home is designed to maximize the inherent beauty of these exposed timbers.

If you choose plank flooring for the 2nd floor, we supply 2×6 tongue & groove decking for you to cut and install on site.

You may discover you don’t need the posts showing in bedrooms and/or baths, which will save you money. A timber frame home takes more time to design than a conventional home. Extra attention must be paid to electrical and HVAC systems during the design process, and beams must be integrated around windows in timber frame construction. Your timber frame is crafted from Eastern White Pine timbers, planed with chamfered edges and treated with one coat of water-based sealer.

However it could end up saving you money in the long run with lower energy costs. An experienced timber framer can help you understand all of your finishing options and what is best for your specific desires.

Hybrid timber frame homes combine timber frame construction with conventional methods, resulting in a home with accent pieces of exposed wood beams in chosen areas of the home. A more budget friendly option compared with full timber frame construction, this option offers the best of both worlds. A hybrid timber frame typically combines traditional timber framing with conventional “stick-built” framing to minimize costs.
A typical kit includes 6×6 posts, 6×10 and 6×12 beams and ties, 6×8 joists, and 6×8 or 6×10 rafters. Peg holes are pre-drilled, and the drawbore method ensures a snug fit without having to use straps and come-alongs. If you are looking to add timber frame to your home, but don’t think it’s in your budget, consider a hybrid timber frame home! Combined with conventional construction, a partial timber frame can yield a nice savings while still giving you the look and feel of a timber frame home.
You can feature timbers where they best serve their purpose, whether decorative or structural.

Whether you are searching for a design to fit a wooded surrounding, Lake Front setting or looking for classy roadside appeal, Countrymark Log Homes can custom design affordable log homes for any dream you might have.
Hybrid homes are typically more affordable, and still very energy efficient and durable like timber frame homes. Less flexible than whole-home timber frame construction, hybrid timber frame homes still enjoy some design flexibility. The timber frame portion, most commonly featured in the main living areas, is highly adaptable and the conventional sections less so due to load bearing walls. For over 50 years, Yankee Barn Homes has been designing and building custom post and beam homes built with the finest materials for durability, weather protection and energy conservation.
We do believe that a bit of heavy timber on the exterior of your home will help balance what’s on the inside and give your home that ‘curb appeal’. Riverbend uses structural insulated panels from our fellow company, Insulspan. These panels are made by laminating two pieces of OSB around a solid core of EPS foam, using extreme pressure.
