Historical restoration in timber framing and roofing involves renovating ancient structures while preserving their original character.
This type of restoration can include the rehabilitation of oak frameworks, the repair of ornaments, and the roofing of historic buildings, often using authentic materials and traditional techniques.
Renovation: Renovation aims to modernize a building to make it functional and compliant with current standards. It may include structural and aesthetic improvements but does not necessarily focus on preserving the historical character of the building.

The term “historic building” refers to a structure built using traditional techniques and materials, often before the 20th century.
These constructions typically use stone, wood, cob, or local materials and do not follow modern building standards.

F.A.Q. Historical Restoration (continued)

We have the answers to your most common questions.

Ancient churches are often affected by:
  • Deterioration of the framework caused by wood-boring insects or humidity.
  • Stone degradation due to erosion, pollution, or frost.
  • Water infiltration through the roofing, which damages the structure and decorations.
  • Cracks in walls and foundations, caused by ground movements or natural aging.
To reinforce an old framework, several methods can be used depending on the roof’s slope and the condition of the structure:
  • Wood reinforcements: Add additional beams or rafters to support weakened parts, often using wood of the same type to ensure consistency.
  • Raising the tie beams: For steeply sloped roofs, raising the tie beams can stabilize the structure.
  • Bracing: For roofs with a moderate slope, replace trusses with bracing to improve resistance.
  • Replacing damaged parts: Replace severely affected components using traditional joinery techniques such as mortise and tenon.
