Build It monthly magazine is full of expert and practical tips and advice for anyone interested in or embarking on a building project. The January 2012 issue particularly concentrates on the numerous qualities and properties of wood not only for its obvious aesthetic beauty but for its fantastic versatility which makes it the favourite material amongst the self builder and home improver.
Carpenter Oak and Woodland are featured in the January 2012 Issue of “Build It Magazine” in an article called “Mighty Oak”, which highlights the beauty of oak timber-frame buildings. It explains how exposed posts and beams not only reveal the character of oak but the simplicity of being able to see exactly how your home has been constructed. Carpenter Oak andWoodlandbelieve that the first step of any project is finding a frame company like themselves with experience and an in-house design team on board to ensure that over the years, shrinkage and movement won’t damage the décor if the detailing between the frame and the rest of the building is right. It is also necessary to have an understanding of running internal finishes behind the frame or using a shadow gap detail to ensure the long-term quality of the whole building. An online directory of oak-frame-friendly architects can be found by logging onto www.oakframehouses.co.uk, which is useful if you wish to use someone local.
