Wall framing is one of the first steps in building a wall. The wall frame is constructed to form the foundation of your wall partitions. A wall frame serves as the backbone for your drywall, and a strong wall frame will hold your drywall for a lifetime and give you complete peace of mind.

A wall can be framed using multiple wooden or metal studs that are placed parallel to each other along a bottom plate to form the wall frame.

A strong wall frame serves as a foundation for your drywall. You can have the most durable drywall with the best finish, but if the wall frame isn’t constructed properly, it could affect the durability of the wall.

If there is an issue with your drywall, you can easily repair/replace the drywall. But if there is an issue with your wall frame, you would need to remove the drywall in order to repair the wall frame. That’s why it’s important to get it done right the first time, and have your wall frame constructed by wall framing professionals.

The number of people required for a wall-framing project depends on the size of the space and the number of rooms being constructed. A small residential project to partition a basement could be by 2 people. A large commercial project to partition an office space could be done by 6-8 people. The workforce can also be adjusted to match your timeline expectations as well.

Wall framing takes skill and knowledge, so working an experienced company guarantees your project gets done quickly and efficiently. Depending on the size of the space, residential wall framing projects can get done in as little as 2 days. Commercial wall framing projects can get done in 5-10 days.

Wall frames are used to partition a large space into smaller rooms, and create a strong foundation to hold drywall in place. Here are some use cases:

Residential Wall Framing:

• Partition a basement into multiple rooms
• Create an extra washroom
• Separate a large bedroom into two smaller rooms

Commercial Wall Framing:

• Partition a commercial office space into multiple office suites and boardrooms
• Maximize your retail space with a customer-friendly storefront and an efficient back office or storage area.
• Build an efficient warehouse space that maximizes product storage and employee productivity.

There are two types of wall frames that are used in construction projects, wood wall framing and metal wall framing. While both are durable options, the use case for each depends on what the space is used for:

Wood Wall Framing is the most common type of framing in residential projects. Because of the durability and affordable cost of wood, most residential projects are done using wood frames.

Metal Wall Framing made out of aluminum is used in large industrial projects because of their extreme durability and rigidity. As most warehouses and factories require fewer frames placed over larger spaces with higher ceiling heights, metal frames are used to provide the durability required to support larger, heavier walls.
