Wood framing is a construction technique that uses wooden beams and columns to create the structural framework of a building. This method is popular for residential homes due to its cost-effectiveness, availability of materials, and ease of construction. The wooden framework supports walls, roofs, and floors, providing stability and strength. In wood framing, various types of lumber, such as dimensional lumber and engineered wood products, are commonly used. The framing process typically involves creating a skeleton structure, which is then covered with insulation and exterior sheathing. This approach allows for flexibility in design and can accommodate various architectural styles.
