In-Depth Information
A softwood frame buried centrally in the wall is the stand-
ard design.
Exposed frame (internally or externally)
The structural frame can be placed flush with either the internal or external face of the
wall. This may be done for various reasons, most commonly:
because permanent shuttering is being used (usually internally)
for practical reasons internally, e.g. to facilitate the fixing of heavy objects such as kit-
chen cupboards to the walls
for aesthetic reasons internally, for example because a beautiful, hand-crafted hard-
wood frame has been used, and it is preferred to have this on view
