Framming

Adicione o texto do seu título aqui

When it comes to new construction, the framing is where your building starts to take shape. Once you have the plans in hand, it’s the structure of your building that makes these projects come to life. A building’s structure is the skeleton that supports all the finishing features such as drywall, doors, windows, and even the roof.

If you’re trying to build an outbuilding like a garage, shed, or barn, you’ll need to understand the basic components of the wall structure before you begin. If you’ve hired someone to build your new home, it’s also helpful to know the following terms so you can understand what your builder is talking about when the process of building your home begins.

House Framing Tips

Nails – Use the right-size nails. Codes specify length, girth, and number of nails in critical joints.

Don’t overdrive. A nail head sunk too deep into the wood can’t pull its full weight.

Frames – Space consistently. Placing joists, studs, and rafters exactly 16 inches apart gives solid support to panel ends.

Use dry wood. Lumber stamped “S-dry” or “KD” (kiln dried) is less likely to warp and twist.

Keep wood dry. Block stacks off the ground and cover them with tarps.

Sheathing – Use plywood clips on roof and wall panels. The 1/8-in. gap they create between each sheet prevents buckling.

Lay sheets perpendicular to framing. Increases overall strength and stiffness.

Glue and fasten.Adhesives can improve bond strength by a third.

 

New Technologies for the Future of Framing

Foam Adhesives – New foam-based adhesives use the superior sticking power of polyurethane and are easily dispensed with just a finger on the trigger. Even better, one can of foam contains the equivalent of 15 tubes of old-style adhesive.

Tenacious Nail – The Sheather-Plus sheathing nail resists uplift forces twice as well as standard smooth-shanked nails, thanks to a ringed shank, an oversize head, and a cement coating that acts like a lubricant to speed the nail home, then bonds to the wood.

Super Studs – Laminated strand lumber — flakes of wood that are pressure-glued to the size of a standard 2×4 or 2×6 (inset) — is free of defects, won’t warp or bow, and can run as long as 22 feet, a dimension unthinkable in a sawn stud nowadays.
