What would happen in the event of a fire?
Not a pleasant subject, but probably the most frequently asked question. It is and unfortunate fact that occasionally buildings are destroyed by fire. Timber frame buildings are lined internally with plasterboard, a material made with a core of inert gypsum, giving it exceptional fire protecting properties. A large fire in any building will eventually destroy upper floor and roof structures, elements which are constructed the same way in most dwellings whether of timber frame or masonry construction.
