A timber upper floor is a structural component of a building, typically found in multi-story constructions, made primarily from timber materials. This type of floor is constructed using wooden beams and joists that support the weight of the floor above and any furnishings within it. Timber upper floors are valued for their aesthetic appeal, insulation properties, and sustainability compared to concrete or steel alternatives. They also offer good sound absorption and can create a warm and inviting atmosphere in a space.
