Framing Review

Vertical framing members within our walls.

Purposes of studs can change (eg. Wall/ king stud vs. Trimmer stud)

Lengths of studs may differ depending on the application. (9 ft vs 8 ft ceilings, Trimmer stud vs. cripple stud.)

Length, width and height can vary depending on the application. (2"x4", 2"x6") (8 foot are 92 5/8") (9 foot are 104 5/8")

Installed typically over windows and doors

The purpose is to divert the weight over windows and doors to the trimmer studs.

If there was no headder we most likely would crush our doors and windows
