Framing
In construction, framing is the fitting together of members to give a structure support and shape, the most commonly used materials are typically wood and steel. Once installed, rough-ins for plumbing, electrical and HVAC are performed, then insulation installation, followed by gypsum board installation and finishing. At Exotherm, our professional installers use lasers to frame unfinished basement walls, install bulkheads, or add additional framing members to existing walls or ceilings in readiness for insulation and drywall. Whether removing existing framing, or installing laser straight members, we provide a streamlined process to your project, capable of handling a large scope of work.
Benefits of Framing
- Structural support: Framing provides the structural support necessary to hold up a building. It serves as the skeleton of the structure and ensures that it can withstand the weight of the roof walls and floors.
- Versatility: Framing can be used to create a variety of designs and shapes. This flexibility allows for more creativity in the design process and can accommodate different building types and styles.
- Energy efficiency: Proper framing techniques can help improve a building’s energy efficiency. By reducing air leakage and using insulation, framing can help lower heating and cooling costs, which can save money in the long run.
- Durability: Good framing practices and quality materials can increase a building’s durability and lifespan. Proper framing can help resist wear and tear and minimize the risk of damage caused by natural disasters like earthquakes or high winds.
- Cost-effective: Framing is a cost-effective building method compared to other construction techniques. It requires fewer materials and labor, which can reduce the overall cost of construction.
