Carpentry Framing Information

Framing is the building block to the beginning of new construction and nearly every remodeling project. Framing must be connected to other framing pieces in order to provide any sort of support. If these pieces are connected tightly with a solid fit, most likely the structure will be durable and withstand.

The material typically used in framing is lumber but there are exceptions. Concrete, brick and steel can also be used to support more weight than wood. The latter materials can be more expensive and may require a more professional installation.

There are three types of framing: platform, balloon and post and beam. Platform framing is the most commonly used in residential building. Balloon framing is dying out and is rarely used in modern day construction. This option is not so common due to the fact the studs run the entire length or height of a house. Lumber is not usually strong enough to hold that weight. Post and beam framing use notched beams that run along the top outside of the foundation. This creates support for a second floor sub floor plate.
