Unmatched Attention to Detail
Timber framing at Cornwall Timber Construction is an art that demands precision and care. We employ advanced techniques and tools to ensure every project meets the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship.
We meticulously use laser levels to ensure that our layout is perfectly true, square, and plumb. This precision not only enhances the structural integrity of our work but also contributes to the overall aesthetic appeal of your space.
In addition to precision framing, we install blocking, also known as pickups, in our stud work. These solid anchoring points provide robust support for items such as handrails, TV wall brackets, kitchen units, and more. This practice ensures that fixtures are securely attached, enhancing the longevity and durability of our finished projects.
Internal Insulation Studwork Solutions with PIR Insulation
With the increasing cost of heating bills, Cornwall Timber Construction now recommends internal insulation solutions for customers with older single-skin properties. This method involves building stud walls internally and using PIR (Polyisocyanurate) insulation between the studs.
We meticulously apply foil tape over the joints of the studwork to create a vapor barrier. This barrier prevents moisture ingress and enhances the overall thermal performance of the insulation, ensuring that your home retains essential warmth, especially during the winter months.
After installing PIR insulation, the cavity is covered with insulated-backed plasterboard, further improving thermal efficiency and comfort levels within your home. This approach not only reduces heating costs but also provides an opportunity to upgrade electrical fixtures conveniently within the newly created space.
At Cornwall Timber Construction, we specialize in transforming older properties with efficient insulation solutions that prioritize comfort and energy savings.

Embracing Sustainability: Why Timber Frame Construction Is Our Future
At Cornwall Timber Construction, sustainability is at the core of our business model, and that’s why we have chosen to specialize in timber frame construction. We believe that timber framing offers a sustainable building solution that aligns with our environmental values and supports a greener future.
1. Lower Carbon Footprint: Timber frame construction significantly reduces carbon emissions compared to steel and concrete. Timber acts as a carbon sink, storing carbon dioxide absorbed during growth, while steel and concrete production processes emit substantial amounts of greenhouse gases.
- Steel: Steel production is responsible for approximately 7-9% of global carbon dioxide emissions.
- Concrete: Concrete production contributes around 8% of global carbon dioxide emissions.
2. Carbon Capture: Timber frame construction enhances carbon capture by storing carbon dioxide throughout its lifecycle. This helps mitigate climate change and reduces the overall carbon footprint of our projects.
3. Energy Efficiency: Timber framing requires less energy to produce and construct compared to steel and concrete. This efficiency not only conserves resources but also lowers operational costs for our clients over the building’s lifespan.
4. Waste Reduction: Our approach to timber framing minimizes waste generation throughout the manufacturing and construction phases. Timber offcuts and byproducts are often recyclable or reusable, contributing to a circular economy.
5. Sustainable Practices: Timber framing promotes sustainable forestry practices and supports local economies through responsible sourcing. This ensures that our projects not only benefit our clients but also contribute positively to the environment and community.
6. Environmental Responsibility: By prioritizing timber frame construction, we demonstrate our commitment to environmental stewardship. We aim to lead by example in the construction industry, advocating for greener building practices that preserve natural resources and enhance building performance.
At Cornwall Timber Construction, we are dedicated to delivering high-quality, sustainable construction solutions that prioritize environmental stewardship. Contact us today to learn more about how our timber frame expertise can benefit your project and contribute to a greener future.
