Finishing of timber-frame construction

To maximise the time saved on a project, Carpentier also offers additional options on request. This way, we can carry out extra preparatory work in our workshop, allowing the finishing of your timber-frame project to run even more smoothly. For example, we can apply biobased insulation to the walls in advance, considerably increasing your speed and efficiency.

Your timber frame, finishing included, in kit form

Carpentier supplies carefully prepared prefab elements in kit form, which you only have to assemble on site. This saves an enormous amount of time, which increases further if you also have the further finishing of the prefab walls built offsite. In our workshop, we can fit the panels for timber-frame construction with biobased insulation, a vapour barrier, timber cladding, conduits for electricity and other services, and so on. Discover below the additional options we offer to speed up your build, for new builds, renovations as well as the extension of an existing building with a rooftop extension or home extension in timber-frame construction.

Additional options

In addition to the prefab structure, we offer the options below:

  • insulating the panels, preferably with ecological and bio-based materials
  • fitting membranes and sheeting (waterproof membrane, vapour barrier, PE films, etc.)
  • a wide choice of finishing boards for both interior and exterior applications
  • fitting a ventilation cavity on the exterior
  • providing a service cavity on the interior
  • interior finishing with integration of openings for services, blown-in insulation and pass-throughs
  • fitting reinforcements where needed
  • integrating conduits for electricity

Exterior and interior finishing of the timber frame

At Carpentier, we can sustainably insulate the walls in advance. We preferably use bio-based insulation such as wood fibre or hemp. These bio-based insulation materials are natural materials and contribute to a healthier and more comfortable indoor climate.

Fitting of cladding

What makes Carpentier unique is that we can even fit the timber cladding onto your prefab walls in our workshop. This extra service saves you, as a timber-frame builder, even more time when assembling your prefab timber-frame construction. With our QuickClip® profiles, you are also assured of a seamless result, since the wooden boards are clipped onto aluminium joists, with no nails or screws involved. The correct positioning of the clips also ensures a perfect spacing between the boards straight away.

On-site finishing

If the cladding is not yet pre-assembled in your kit, it can be fitted afterwards on site, as timber-frame construction is a dry building method. In addition to the cladding, you can also immediately install the wall panelling and ceiling panelling. With our high-quality QuickClip® profiles, this phase can be completed very quickly. The aluminium substructures are fitted with clips, onto which you simply click the wooden boards into place. The fact that no nails are visible adds aesthetic value to the timber-frame home, home extension or timber-frame roof addition.
