COMMERCIAL TIMBER FRAMES
Timber frame buildings can be designed into anything making it as modern and flexible as steel or concrete but the use of wood is not hidden but structural. Offering warmth and attractiveness of the exposed wood with a host of benefits that empower commercial construction in durability, design flexibility, and environmental friendliness. Built with strong mortise and tenon joints, they are capable of withstanding extreme amounts of pressure and have innate fire resistance. In addition to these practical benefits, a timber frame structure is an eye-catching conversation piece that will play a memorable part of your business in the years to come.
For almost 2 decades Canadian Timberframes has been a leader in heavy timber construction and involved in designing, manufacturing and installing many large commercial timber projects. We have the capability of meeting production schedules, preparing detailed bid proposals for fixed rate contracts, contract administration and meeting or exceeding contracted engineering and construction specifications. Let us help you with your commercial project.
Benefits of Timber Frame Construction
Wood is the only major renewable structural material. It is natually aesthetic, adaptable, energy efficient & durable.
Safe, Strong & Sophisticated

We honor the craft of timber framing but don’t stop there - we can create innovative engineered wood beams and offer a unique mix of experience coupled with our products & services that elevate our commercial structures. Glulam is often mixed with solid timbers and is a highly innovative construction material that can deliver on strength, beauty & reliability much like timber.

Flexibility & Versatility in Size
Timber framing allows for great flexibility, with its ability to span large distances, timber frame construction has historically been used to create expansive spaces. Let us help you incorporate timber into your next commercial building.
A Commercial Case Study - Wood Vs Steel Structure
The brewery was initially designed to be a steel building, but preliminary cost estimates were over-budget. An alternative conceptual design was made based on exposed heavy timber construction. The resulting timber building met all the building science challenges, saved money, and better met the Rocky Mountain architectural design motif of Canmore.
This case study was pulled together by Canadian Wood Council, Wood Works and Canadian Timberframes. Read the whole case study here.
