Oak Frame

A traditional structural system using exposed green oak posts and beams, jointed with mortise-and-tenon or pegged connections, used as the primary load-bearing frame of an extension. Oak frame extensions are popular for their warmth, character, and planning acceptability in rural and listed building settings. The frame is typically infilled with SIPs panels or glazing and can be left exposed internally.
