House Framing
Glossary of Terms and Diagram
House Framing
Like the human body, a house has a skeleton that gives it
support, shape and a framework for outer coverings. A house's skeleton
is called the frame. Though some new homes utilize steel framing, most
houses are made of wooden beams, floor joists, walls studs, roof rafters
and related components.
Exterior Walls
Framing exterior walls is a pretty straight-forward
process. Assembling walls on a level surface -- probably the subfloor or
slab -- and raising them into place will help you frame faster. However,
raising walls usually requires some extra help.
Standard Wood Framing
There are two basic framing methods: platform and balloon construction, as
shown at right. Platform construction is much more common than balloon
framing, though balloon framing was employed in many two-story houses
before 1930.
Interior Details
Most interior details, mainly walls and closets, are built with 2x4s (2x6s
take up more space). The walls usually aren't load-bearing, so headers
may be down-sized to consist of a couple of 2x4s.
