Description: homebuildingandrepairs.com/windows/index.html Click on this link to learn more about window and door framing, installation and repairs. In this video I will provide viewers with a few different building types, structural engineering and construction standard lumber sizes (not engineered lumber) for certain opening spans so you can install doors and windows in your next remodeling, repair or new home construction project. These Charts Do Not Include Engineered Lumber. Read All Information in books associated with what you're looking for to build openings. Construction Standard Lumber 2018 International Building Code Book Reference Number - Table 2308.4.1.1(1) page 510 - 511 Headers Usually Are Loacted At Top Of Window or Door Openings Girders And Headers Supporting - Columns for building types Roof and ceiling - also second story or three story Roof, ceiling and one center-bearing floor Roof, ceiling and one clear span floor Roof, ceiling and two center-bearing floors Roof, ceiling and two clear span floors Always go one size larger to be on the safe side. For example if the charts tell me that I need a 2x6 then why not use a 2x8, two - 2x6 or a 4x6 and if you're not sure of your building type, span and other important structural engineering information not found in this book, then contact a structural engineer for assistance.
