A house frame is nothing but a skeleton that supports the structure of a building. A house framing design includes the proper arrangement of floor joists, wooden beams, roof rafters, wall studs and other related components. The above mentioned building materials form the basic framework. The frames used in construction form the backbone of a house.
The various framing activities included in the construction of a house are making the doors and window openings, setting up rim joists, beams, sill plates, floor joists and deck fastenings. The materials used for framing, range from wood, like the pine and hemlock, to steel, bricks and concrete. Wood is commonly used in the construction of frames because it is cheap and easily available. However, if one wants to build a durable frame that supports weight, materials such as steel, concrete or bricks should be used.
The construction or the assembly of the frame, should be done by following the necessary steps. Although the construction process might seem tedious and time consuming, following the codes ensures that a safe and secure framework is built. Ignoring the codes in the process of sizing and fastening might lead to serious consequences.
Before one starts the framing activity, he should be aware of the necessary permits and codes that are to be followed. The codes for the construction of a frame are of two types: building code and the fire code. The building codes define the dimensions of different features such as the height of the ceiling, hallway width, doorways, etc. Rules and regulations regarding the size of windows come under the purview of the fire code. The framing construction goes through many different checks and inspections before being approved.
