Smallholdertoo Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 (edited) We have permission for a small 1.5 floor house. This is due to have some green oak framing internally (not structural) and an external oak framed door with a fixed triple glazed pane ether side. I want the house to be well insulated and airtight. I am therefore getting a bit twitchy about the green oak and am wondering whether I could use oak glulam instead as it would then be possible to glaze using aluclad softwood windows and door frames within the glulam frame to match the other windows. Yes i would lose some light but I would have less hassle in the longer term and better thermal efficiency. Any thoughts on the concept and who I should get to do the work? The frame is 2.7m long and 2.1m high. Has anyone done anything similar? Edited September 21 by Smallholdertoo Additional question raised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
