Our solid timber system which uses interlocking timber boards that stack on top of one another to form the walls of your home. There is no separate framing, cladding, or lining in Solid Timber homes.
homes have solid timber walls, so wood is the dominant feature both inside and out. These solid wood homes are what many people traditionally associate with Fraemohs. Solid Timber kitset homes are easy to build and very popular.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT US

Our Fraemohs home nestles in rural land with a view of the Tasman Sea. She is a sturdy functional and compact dwelling. Living on site while our builders constructed her and with all additional tradespeople has given us a healthy respect for when design becomes structure, function finish and is eventually a home. Her exterior is painted in blue green tones. With Viridian tinted double glazing maximising warmth, sunlight and sea views. The interior has been painted with blonding to achieve a light airy feel and to enhance the beautiful wood grains of the Fraemohs timber. The insulation is incredible. Both cool in the summer and cosy and warm in the winter with the assistance of our Baby Metro fire. An economical inclusion due to the natural heat capacity of the house. Thank you Fraemohs for your input from the design process to completion. Our home is cosy comfortable, environmentally friendly and assures people of a truly relaxed place to escape and unwind.
