Advanced Framing
The overall impact of advanced framing on a home’s energy performance, and the increasing popularity of that prospect, is a comprehensive approach. In a package the energy-saving benefits for the home are much greater. Advanced framing techniques create a structurally sound home that has lower material and labor costs than a conventionally framed house.As a Pensacola Home Builder we also realize the need for more sustainable building practices. Advanced framing is also a greener way to build. In Advanced Framing there is less waste that needs to be disposed of, so less to go into landfills. Advanced framing improves energy efficiency by replacing lumber with insulation material. Since we use R-19 insulation along with our 2×6 construction the R-value is improved by maximizing the wall area that is insulated
In short the advantages of using 2×6 framing versus the standard 2×4 construction are:
- Delivers up to 62% more insulating power compared with 2×4 construction
- One of the easiest ways to add energy efficiency.
- The Greener Option – Less lumber used
- Faster build time (lower labor cost)
