  1. Wood Frame Systems Common Components of a Traditional Wood Framed Building

  2. Wood Framing Systems • Insulation • Sheathing • Vapor Barrier • Siding • Underlayment • Asphalt Shingles • Floor Joists • Subfloor • Walls • Top Plate • Window Opening • Roof Trusses

  3. Floor Joists • Joists are horizontal structural members used to carry the floor and ceiling loads.

  4. Subfloor • The structural floor joined to the joists supports the finish flooring.

  5. 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.

  6. Top Plate • A horizontal structure member located on top of the studs used to hold the wall together.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. Roof Trusses • Truss: An assembly of structural members joined to form a rigid framework, usually connected to form triangles.

  10. Insulation • Material used to restrict the flow of heat or sound from one surface to another.

  11. Sheathing • A covering placed over exterior studs or rafters that serves as a base below the exterior finish materials.

  12. Vapor Barrier • Engineered materials designed to keep out liquid water and prevent air infiltration while allowing water vapor to escape from inside the home.

  13. 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.

  14. Underlayment • Roof Felt:A tar-impregnated paper used for water protection under roofing materials.

  15. Asphalt Shingles • Roof shingles made of asphalt-saturated felt and covered with mineral granules.
