4 Types of Framing for New House Construction

Houses combine the possibilities of art with practical construction. There are several styles of houses, and many variations come down to the frame. There are four different types of framing that you can use to construct a new house, and depending on the frame, your house will have other construction and reconfiguration possibilities.

Light Wood Framing

This type of framing is very popular for building a new house, given its adaptability and interchangeable parts. There are multiple types of wood that you may use to construct a house, such as lumber or oak. Wood is an accessible resource to acquire and form, so it's easier to build a home with light wood framing.

Concrete Masonry

Concrete is sturdy and lasts for years when installed properly. Concrete masonry is a great type of framing for constructing a new home because of its low maintenance and ability to retain heat during the winter. Concrete is normally put to good use and rarely wasted but rather recycled. Plus, the materials in concrete are abundant and easy to obtain, making this an environmentally-friendly option.

Insulated Concrete

Insulated concrete is incredibly durable and offers more warmth and safety. The insulation inside the concrete will block sounds and create a more durable barrier resistant to rot. Concrete walls won't need as much material when they already have insulation, making them more cost-efficient than concrete masonry.

Using this framing will improve the structural integrity of the home. When it comes time to sell, the home's property value will increase because of the cost-efficient material and decreased chances of cracks or mold.

Steel Frame

A steel frame is durable and resistant to heat to protect the house's structure and minimize damage from fires. This frame works well for supporting heavier structures such as houses with multiple floors or buildings with heavy walls and ceilings. Steel is easier to mold into different shapes and sizes, so you won't have trouble putting together the pieces you need for construction.

Using these frames will make the construction of the house easier while increasing its longevity. Use this guide as a reference for your housing construction needs when looking into different frame options that fit your ideal home.
