Design Wall Framing
Most house walls are built with 2-by-4-inch framing lumber, although some very cold climates may use 2-by-6-inch frames to allow for more insulation. Basic wall frames are covered outside with some vapor barrier and exterior foam insulation, then finished with siding, which can range from wood to brick façade. The outer walls support the house roof. Interior walls divide space into rooms and generally do not bear any roof load. Wall framing is the same for houses, garages, barns, sheds or any other wood-built structure, although details like door frames may vary. Does this Spark an idea?
