Two Wall Framing Methods for Window Rough Openings

Показать описание

To frame a rough opening for windows, you need to support a header with trimmer, or jack, studs. Trimmer studs can extend from the header to the bottom plate, or they can be interrupted by the window sill. both framing methods have advantages and disadvantages.

Thanks man, needed this for a school work and it greatly helped.

For a 3’ w x 5’h window, can the header be attached directly to a stud on one side, maybe with a strong L bracket, as this is needed to get window into correct location. Would this not be to code? The other side of the header will get full support with jack stud and king stud.

Just discovered the contractor (licensed too!) removed the jack studs to install a 42"x96" window. Just left the header nailed through the king studs. But, it's been 15 years so I guess it must be ok?

Multiple jacks may be required depending on the header span and what it's carrying.

QUESTION: my outside walls are 6inch studs 24 spacing what if i get a window that fits between the opening .
Would you need all that or can you cut the opening and just hand the window between the stud? since the load studs don't change.

I can’t concentrate on anything you’re saying with all that music in the background. I’ve got a radio, I’m just wanting to learn how to frame a window
