Timber Frame Accenting

Timber Frame accenting is the use of exposed wood beams and posts in key structural or decorative areas of a home or building. Unlike full timber frame construction-which uses heavy timbers as the primary structure-accenting brings the beauty and character of natural wood to specific spaces, both inside and out.

These accents are usually placed in high-visibility areas like:

• Front porch gables
• Entryways
• Covered Patios
• Ceiling Beams
• Loft Supports
• Fireplace Mantels

The results? A custom, high-end look that blends rustic charm with modern design.

At MSI, we've seen firsthand how timber accents can elevate a build. Here's why homeowners and designers are choosing this features:

• Warmth and Texture

Natural wood brings a grounded, welcoming feel that pairs beautifully with metal siding, stonework, and open-concept interiors.

• Custom Character

No two timber beams are the same. The knots, grain, and hand-crafted joinery all add personality you simply can't get with factory-made finishes.

• Curb Appeal

 A timber-accented porch or entryway makes a bold first impression. It tells people:  this isn't a cookie-cutter build- it's one-of-a-kind.

• Strength You Can See

While many timber accents are decorative, they still signal craftsmanship and quality. At MSI, we don't just bolt up a few beams-we build them to last, the way Mennonite tradition taught us.
