The Project: Colorado Timberframe is dedicated to building only the highest quality homes, we carefully select all the materials from the best possible resources, especially in respect to the timberframe and structural panels (SIPs) used to enclose the frame.

It make obvious sense, both economically and logically to go to source of the best materials available and that is what we do. We also strive to provide and incorporate the best that modern technology has to offer that allow us to build the quality of homes that others only strive to emulate. Let's take a look at the most important of the parts that make up the very heart of the of your home.

The TimberFrame

Considering the climate of the Colorado we recommend the use of Douglas fir as being the best material available, its performance in the high and dry altitudes of the mountains is better than any other type of timber. It shrinks less, checks less, retains its natural beauty and color, and is supplied directly from Canada, the heart of the best timber region in the world, thus minimizing transportation costs. Furthermore your frame will be cut on the Hundegger K2 CNC joinery machine, guaranteeing an accurate frame cut and easy on site assembly.

The Structural Panels

There are a multitude of Structural Insulated Panel manufacturers that provide the enclosure for timberframe homes, of which two types are commonly used, EPS (expanded polystyrene) and Urethane. We choose to use only Urethane, which we believe to be the best, both in terms of energy efficiency, technological advantages, and speed of construction. Our supplier provides a more complete service than any other manufacturer, precutting, complete customization for each individual home, inclusion of all electrical components custom installed to your designs and their unique Insulation Verification System (IVS).

Windows

The windows we fit, as a standard, are probably the best available, Douglas fir frames, pre-finished extruded aluminum metal clad, eliminating the need for painting, laminated sashes, clear wood grain that can be stained to match and enhance the beauty of the timber frame, double strength low energy glass, hidden venting, pre-preservative treated, superior hardware, and most important, non-prorated warranty.

These are just a few of the multitude of material components that we at Colorado Timberframe hand pick for quality, efficiency, beauty, and price sensitivity. Talk to us about materials, give us your choices and let us put together for you, the best package available.
