Explain how ceiling framing is mounted and used.
What will be an ideal response?
Ceiling joists are supported on exterior walls and load-bearing interior partitions. They carry the finish ceiling materials and insulation. If they are subject to other loads, such as a second floor storage area, the architect will size them accordingly. When they become joists for the second floor of a two-story building, their framing is identical to the framing of the first floor. The first ceiling joist is set in from the outer edge of the plate on the gable end to permit construction of the framing for the gable end wall. Ceiling joists can be trimmed to follow the rafter shape.
