It can be called "traditional frame" or "industrial frame". We can offer you the complete realization of your custom frame. The structural execution plans are made according to the building plans. Once validated with you, the preparation of the wood can begin. Our digital center takes care of the size. We work for professionals as well as for individuals, in renovation or new. Traditional frame It is the most aesthetic type of frame. Indeed, when one wants to leave it visible, it is generally towards this type of framework that one turns. It can be in different essences according to tastes or uses: fir, douglas or oak. Its great modularity makes it possible to adapt to all the configurations that you could envisage. The assembly itself of the woods can be done with metal rods (economical assembly) or with the traditional tenons / mortises (pegged assembly). Our tailor-made projects allow you to adapt the style of the frame to your taste. In short, the traditional frame is not the most economical solution but it will bring an undeniable charm to your project. The traditional frame is made up of several elements: the farm (supporting structure) Load-bearing element receiving the load from the roof. In its traditional form, it consists of beams assembled in particular by tenon-mortise. Running sections: 9x21cm, 14x14cm, 17x17cm, 19x19cm Common species: Fir, Douglas, Oak failures Resting on the traditional farm, the purlins can be in solid wood (generally in fir) or in glulam. Their sizing depends on the load and the spans between truss or pinion. Running sections: 100x225mm, 100x300mm Common species: Fir, Douglas fir the rafters Supported by the purlins, they rest perpendicular to them. They create the roof overhang at the level of the sewers. Their spacing (center distance) depends on the roof (from ~ 30 to 60cm). They are used for tiles, slate or sheet metal imitation tile. No need for rafters if you have a self-supporting steel deck roof. Running sections: 65x75mm, 75x110mm Common species: Fir battens or slats Supported by the rafters, they receive the roof. Their center distance depends on the roof, from around 8cm for the small tile up to 40cm for the tile sheet. Running sections: 18x27mm, 27x38mm Common species: Fir Generally apparent, this is the type of frame that can be custom designed to best suit your tastes or specific constraints.

Le but de la charpente industrielle est de baisser le coût de fabrication et de mise en oeuvre d'un bâtiment. La charpente est alors constituée de fermes de petites sections pré-assemblées en atelier (appelées "fermettes") réparties environ tous les 60cm. Ce type de conception permet de réduire les coûts de mise en oeuvre car du fait de sa légèreté, une fermette peut facilement être manipulée par 2 poseurs. L'assemblage des fermettes elles-mêmes se fait par des connecteurs métalliques. Cette solution technique est rapide et économique mais présente l'inconvénient de ne pas être esthétique. De ce fait, une charpente industrielle est trés souvent, pour ne pas dire tout le temps, cachée. Copyright © 2018 Bonnichon SARL.
