In-depth Explanations with Actionable Insights:
Advanced Framing Techniques: Advanced framing, also known as optimum value engineering (OVE), reduces lumber use and waste while improving a building’s energy efficiency. For instance, using two-stud corner framing and ladder blocking for interior wall intersections can minimize thermal bridging and provide more space for insulation.
Example: Consider a wall intersection where traditionally three studs may be used to form a corner. With ...
