FLOOR SYSTEMS
Joists are horizontal structural members used to carry the floor and ceiling loads.
These joists have been created from dimensional lumber.
Dimension lumber: 2x4, 2x6, etc

FLOOR SYSTEM
The subfloor is the structural floor joined to the joists supporting the finish flooring material.
The subfloor is normally made from plywood.

WALL SYSTEM
Studs are the vertical framing members in frame wall construction. Studs perform the same function as columns and can be constructed from wood or metal.
Walls are often constructed on a flat surface and then raised into place and fastened.
The corners have extra studs to ensure that exterior and interior points have attachment points.

WALL SYSTEM
The top plate is a horizontal structure member located on top of the studs used to hold the wall together.
The image represents a double top plate. The bottom is part of the preassembled wall. The top holds the walls together. The horizontal board on the bottom is called a sole plate.

WALL SYSTEM
The sole plate is a horizontal structure member located at the bottom the studs used to hold the wall together.
It provides a surface for attaching the wall to its supporting structure.

Vapor barrier is an Engineered material designed to keep out liquid water and prevent air infiltration while allowing water vapor to escape from inside the home.
The vapor barrier is often called “house wrap” or referred to as Tyvek, a trade name.

Exterior finishes are applied once framing, insulation, sheathing, and vapor barrier have been installed.
Exterior finishes include plywood, hardboard, metal panels vinyl siding, stucco, brick, or stone.

ROOF SYSTEM
A truss is an assembly of structural members joined to form a rigid framework, usually connected to form triangles.

ROOF SYSTEM
Rafters may also be used to create the framing for a roof. Rafters are normally created from dimensional lumber.
Rafters are similar to joist and are often supported by a ridge board/beam at the top and walls or beams at the bottom.
