ᐅ Are solid wood walls possible in a timber-frame house?

We often watch American remodeling shows and wondered why they use wooden battens instead of metal studs. Our research showed that wood has the disadvantage of warping or shrinking. Also, it is more expensive than metal studs (or metal profiles) in our country. What are the drawbacks of traditional drywall partitions? Or am I misunderstanding, and you actually want to build the entire wall out of wood?

Haha, we also really enjoy watching those shows and have gotten inspired by them.
It definitely does not have to be made of wood. I just thought that would be the most affordable option. In that case, such walls wouldn’t be made of stone but rather from those metal studs/profiles, right?

Oh, we wouldn’t actually find that bothersome. More like cozy.
We’re just wondering whether it would be better, more practical, or cheaper to have such “non-essential,” non-load-bearing walls built from wood.

This will be determined later during the planning phase, depending on whether and how the walls are constructed. The floor plan is coordinated with the structural engineering, and the most efficient materials are selected accordingly. For a recess in a load-bearing wall area, you would typically use a masonry wall rather than wood with a beam. The roof also requires load-bearing supports. ...
Bulkheads, lightweight partition walls, and platforms are generally made using panel construction.
So, scribbling on your DIY plan now might be a way to pass the time, but this is the job of a professional.

All right. Interesting. We don’t know any of that.

So, for what you want, there are several options.

• Drywall (gypsum boards on wooden or metal studs)
• Solid wood walls, for example from a carpenter
• Ytong blocks (aerated concrete blocks), etc.

But it doesn’t sound like you want to do it yourselves, right?
Then just freely draw what you have in mind and discuss the best implementation with your general contractor / main contractor / architect.
Depending on the desired appearance and use, many solutions can make sense.

Corners are often inconvenient and not cozy. You also need to be able to furnish the area next to the built-in wardrobe.
