Floor Joists • Joists are horizontal structural members used to carry the floor and ceiling loads.
Subfloor • The structural floor joined to the joists supports the finish flooring.
Walls • Stud:The vertical framing member in frame wall construction. • The walls shown are made up of wood 2x4s spaced at 16 in. on center.
Top Plate • A horizontal structure member located on top of the studs used to hold the wall together.
Sole Plate (Sill Plate) • A horizontal structure member located at the bottom the studs used to hold the wall together. • A sole plate also provides a surface for attaching the wall to its supporting structure.
Window Opening • Header:A horizontal structural member used to support other structural members over openings, such as doors and windows. Sill: A horizontal wood member placed at the bottom of walls and openings in walls.
Roof Trusses • Truss: An assembly of structural members joined to form a rigid framework, usually connected to form triangles.
Insulation • Material used to restrict the flow of heat or sound from one surface to another.
Sheathing • A covering placed over exterior studs or rafters that serves as a base below the exterior finish materials.
Vapor Barrier • Engineered materials designed to keep out liquid water and prevent air infiltration while allowing water vapor to escape from inside the home.
Siding • Material, such as boards or shingles, used for surfacing the outside walls of a frame building. • Other examples include plywood, hardboard, plastic, vinyl, stucco, brick, or stone.
Underlayment • Roof Felt:A tar-impregnated paper used for water protection under roofing materials.
Asphalt Shingles • Roof shingles made of asphalt-saturated felt and covered with mineral granules.
