Normerica Timber Homes

Normerica Timber Homes

For over 40 years, Normerica has been setting the standard for exceptional timber frame structures. We've designed and built over 2,000 timber frame buildings and delivered them across Canada and around the world. We've built everything from off-the-grid cabins to a 50,000 square foot Olympic facility. We would love to help make your dream home a reality.

    Why so many cracking on the trusses?

  • @normericatimberhomes8230
    @normericatimberhomes823010 күн бұрын

    Good question! The timbers from our Eastern White Pine (EWP) frames are harvested and milled in the winter months before being stored and allowed to air dry. When the timbers are planned and then manufactured by our CNC machine, however, they are still considered "green", with a relatively high moisture content. Once the timbers are erected and enclosed in a building and that space is conditioned, the speed at which those timbers dry increases. As the timbers dry faster on the surface than they do near the heartwood, the result is the occurrence of these cracks, which is called checking. It's a normal occurrence which, except for a in very rare circumstances, does not jeopardize the structural integrity of the frame. We find it adds character to the frame, and the occurrences of these checks will slow down as the timber dries. The folks at Shelter Institute have a wonderful couple of videos on green wood in timber framing and some precautionary measures than can be taken to limit checking, which you can find here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/h2dtyNenaazdmsY.htmlsi=njwSCe6e8z5St_V6 We do have kilns at a our manufacturing facility. For Douglas fir frames, we use free of heart centre (FOHC) timbers and we kiln dry the material. Douglas fir takes to kiln drying much better than EWP does. The kiln-dried FOHC timber tends to check less than EWP. For those clients who really want to avoid checking in their timbers, glulam timbers are an option.

    Nice looking cabin. I like the simplicity of the shed roof design... I have been thinking of something similar for a cabin and alongside guest cabin - though I am in Sweden. Did you guys use SIPs panels for the walls and roof? I hear that SIPS are popular in North America... here, not so much. Only really see metal faced PUR or fiberglass sandwich panels used in commercial buildings here with steel framing holding the load.

  • @normericatimberhomes8230
    @normericatimberhomes82303 ай бұрын

    Thanks for the comment! We do use SIPS, but in this instance, that is not what was designed. What is contemplated is almost like a site built SIP - 3/4" T&G over the rafters with 6mm poly, two courses of 3.5" polyiso rigid insulation with staggered seams, and then 5/8" ZIP System roof sheathing.

Normerica did the architectural design, construction drawings, and supplied the building envelope (pre-manufactured timber frame, wall and roof systems, windows, and cladding). We are builders, too, but we did not build this project. We'll see if we can find that information from the clients and get back to you.
