Timber Frame: efficiency and durability in the heart of Indiana

Recovering the beams of a 19th-century barn and turning them into a contemporary Timber Frame residence is a statement of responsibility towards sustainable construction, focused on material reuse and circularity.
In Milan, Indiana (USA), Bird Hollow Construction has breathed new life into historical materials, relying on Rothoblaas systems to ensure performance up to the latest Timber Frame construction standards.

In the Timber Frame construction system, particular attention is required for managing vapour and ensuring the continuity of the air barrier. If not properly protected, timber is at risk of suffering structural damage due to moisture and infiltrations, compromising the stability over time and the energy efficiency of the entire building.

TRASPIR DOUBLE NET 270: long-lasting mechanical resistance and breathability for Timber Frame

In the Milan project, the choice of high-performance materials was crucial. TRASPIR DOUBLE NET 270, featuring a double reinforcing grid that gives it excellent mechanical properties, has enabled to ensure long-lasting protection throughout the entire life cycle of the Timber Frame building.
The highly breathable membrane TRASPIR DOUBLE NET 270 effectively limits the unconditional passage of wind, protecting the outside of the structure from the entry of cold draughts in winter or hot draughts in summer, thus enhancing the living comfort.

TRASPIR EVO UV 210: the ideal protection for ventilated façades, also suitable for Timber Frame

Completing the TRASPIR EVO UV 210 building envelope package has provided the necessary protection for the ventilated façade of this Timber Frame construction, thanks to its ability to withstand prolonged exposure to UV rays and weather elements. With open joints exposure with a width up to 50 mm and a maximum of 40% uncovered area, TRASPIR EVO UV 210 membrane guarantees permanent UV stability. The aesthetic appearance is excellent: thanks to the mass per unit area and the polyacrylate mix, the membrane guarantees high thermal and dimensional stability, features that prevent the formation of swelling during installation.

SPEEDY BAND: effective sealing of critical points in Timber Frame

Among the most appreciated products by builders in Timber Frame, SPEEDY BAND has played a key role in sealing critical points. With a Euroclass B-s1,d0 certified fire resistance and an operating temperature up to +100 °C, this tape ensures airtightness and waterproofing even in extreme conditions, enhancing the overall safety of the enclosure.
