Lumber
Most homes have some sort of a wooden frame as their core structure. From wooded floor joists to 2×4 boards for the frame, lumber is the primary and most common framing materials used in residential buildings.
Plywood
Plywood is another common framing supply you’ll see on construction sites. Plywood is used on structural beams, as subflooring, and even as well sheathing that then holds and supports the studs in the wall. Plywood is also commonly found in roof supports, too.
Sheathing
You can think of sheathing as an extra layer on your home’s walls to make them stronger. Sheathing materials are attached to the walls’ frames to provide strength and a base for attaching siding and other exterior building materials.
Roof Trusses
Roof trusses are almost always made from lumber supplies in a residential home build. They are the structural framework that both supports the room and creates the space beneath the roof, most commonly the attic. They also determine the shape of the roof and ceiling.
