    Walls serve several important functions such as defining interior spaces, enclosing buildings, and providing structure. Exterior walls are typically framed with 2x6 wood studs spaced 16 inches on center to allow room for R20 insulation. Interior walls are commonly framed with 2x4 studs also spaced 16 inches on center. Common wall openings include windows and doors, which are placed based on lighting, ventilation, and access requirements. Typical exterior wall constructions include framing covered with sheathing, building wrap, strapping, and either siding or brick veneer as the exterior finish.

    Wall Framing

    The Function of a Wall


    The walls of a building serve several important functions:

    defines the spaces within the building to


    provide privacy & zoning.
    encloses the building itself, keeping the
    weather out.
    provides structure to support floors
    and the roof.
    encloses mechanical systems (wiring, plumbing
    and heating ducts)
    Wall Types and Features
    Exterior Walls

    In Ontario, stud walls must be built using 2x6 wood studs.


    this provides enough space for a R20 insulation batt to fit
    - depth required 5 .
    Wood species is SPF spruce / pine / fir .
    Stud spacing ranges from 12 - 16 - 24 on centre
    16 O/C is the most common stud spacing.
    Plumbing and mechanical ducts are not commonly bought up
    through exterior walls so that the insulation does not get
    compromised.
    Typically fabricated on site but current building trends
    are showing a rise in panelized wall systems.
    Wall Types and Features
    Interior Walls

    commonly built from 2x4 wood studs.


    Studs are commonly spaced at 16 O/C to
    accommodate wall sheathing.
    may be structural or non-structural.
    Accommodate mechanical and electrical lines.
    Wall Types and Features
    Wall Openings

    locations of doors and windows are determined
    by the amount on natural light required,
    ventilation, view and access required.
