FRAMING

FRAMINg

House framing is the structural skeleton of any new construction, providing the framework for walls, floors, and the roof. A properly designed and constructed frame ensures the stability, durability, and overall integrity of the building. Whether using wood, steel, or advanced framing techniques, selecting the right framing method is crucial for long-term performance and efficiency.

COMMON TYPES OF FRAMING

Before trimming your beard, it’s also important to decide on the length and style you want to achieve. This will help you to determine how much hair to remove and where to trim. It’s also a good idea to start with a longer length and gradually work your way down, as it’s easier to take more off than to add it back.

WOOD FRAMING

Platform Framing: The most common method, where each floor is built separately, allowing for a strong and stable structure. Walls are framed, sheathed, and stacked in sections.
Balloon Framing: An older technique where vertical wall studs extend from the foundation to the roof, reducing settling but requiring fire-stopping measures.
Timber Frame Construction: Uses large, exposed wooden beams and joints for a strong and aesthetic structural design. Common in custom-built homes and rustic-style buildings.
Advanced (Optimum Value) Framing: A modern energy-efficient method that minimizes lumber use while maximizing insulation and reducing thermal bridging.

STEEL FRAMING

Light-Gauge Steel Framing: Similar to wood framing but made from galvanized steel, offering better resistance to fire, pests, and moisture. Ideal for hurricane and earthquake-prone areas.
Structural Steel Framing: Used in high-rise buildings and large commercial projects, offering superior strength and load-bearing capacity.
Timber Frame Construction: Uses large, exposed wooden beams and joints for a strong and aesthetic structural design. Common in custom-built homes and rustic-style buildings.
Advanced (Optimum Value) Framing: A modern energy-efficient method that minimizes lumber use while maximizing insulation and reducing thermal bridging.

SPECIALIZED FRAMING TECHNIQUES

Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs): Prefabricated panels made of foam insulation sandwiched between plywood or OSB boards, offering high energy efficiency and fast construction.
Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs): Foam blocks filled with reinforced concrete, providing superior insulation, durability, and soundproofing.
Post & Beam Construction: Uses vertical posts and horizontal beams for a strong open-concept structure, often used in modern and rustic designs.
Prefabricated & Modular Framing: Factory-built sections of walls, floors, or entire rooms assembled on-site, speeding up construction and reducing waste.
