🪵 Installation of Timber Frame Inner Wall Leaves – Structural Precision, Built to Last

At DSN+BD Construction, every structural element — hidden or visible — is approached with care, craftsmanship, and long-term performance in mind. Our recent work installing timber frame inner wall leaves is a textbook example of how thoughtful construction forms the backbone of beautiful, high-performing spaces.

This phase marks a critical step in shaping the internal shell of a project, where precision layout meets robust material selection — and where every stud and board plays a role in the home’s long-term durability, insulation, and spatial performance.

🏗️ What Are Timber Frame Inner Wall Leaves?

In timber frame construction, the inner wall leaf refers to the load-bearing or partitioning frame that forms the structural interior walls of the building. These are key to:

• 🧱 Dividing rooms and creating layout zones

• 🛠️ Supporting floors, ceilings, or roof structures

• 🌡️ Integrating insulation and airtightness measures

• 🔥 Meeting fire, acoustic, and thermal performance requirements

Done right, they ensure a strong, straight, and reliable skeleton that everything else is built upon.

🔩 Our Specification & Installation Approach

For this installation, we’ve focused on robust material choices and high-precision assembly. Key elements include:

• ✅ CLS-grade treated timber studs, ensuring dimensional stability and long-term resistance to movement

• ✅ Fixed to soleplates and noggins with secure mechanical fixings for a rigid, plumb frame

• ✅ Set out to exact centre-to-centre spacings for seamless integration with plasterboard and insulation

• ✅ Coordinated with structural and service layouts — including electrical first-fix and mechanical systems

Every wall leaf is built with forward planning in mind — ensuring the next layers (plasterboard, vapour control, joinery) fit perfectly, without compromise or rework.

🧠 Build-Informed, Design-Led

Because DSN+BD is a design-led design and build company, we don’t treat timber frame work as just a rough first fix. We treat it as the foundation of precision — affecting finish quality, service routes, and thermal performance later in the build.

Our timber frames are aligned with:

• Architectural layouts

• Door and window positions

• Services coordination

• Sound and fire separation requirements

This ensures every stud, brace, and board serves its purpose within the broader design intent of the space.

🏡 Framing a High-Performance Home

With the inner timber wall leaves now installed, this project is one step closer to becoming a high-quality, comfortable, and carefully crafted home. These frames will support not just the structure — but the comfort, durability, and liveability of the space for decades to come.

Planning a timber frame build or structural retrofit? At DSN+BD, we design and construct frame systems that deliver on layout, performance, and finish — all with total build precision.
