Explain how exterior walls are constructed in the wall framing process.

What will be an ideal response?


The corners of exterior walls must be built to allow for sidewalls to butt front or rear walls and leave a nailing surface for interior finish materials.Thepreferred framing method for framing corners leaves an opening for the insertion of insulation later in the construction process. Where interior partitions meet exterior walls, the top plate overlaps the lower plate of the double top plate. Where interior partitions butt an outside wall or another partition, they can be joined by installing blocking or extra studs.
