Basement Wall Framing
Stick Build Framing
To stick build walls, first nail a top plate
perpendicular to the floor joists. Next, secure a bottom plate to the
concrete floor using concrete nails and an adhesive such as Liquid Nails.
Make sure you use pressure treated lumber on the bottom plate as it is in
contact with the concrete and will wick moisture over time. The top and
bottom plates should be parallel to each other. Use a plumb line to ensure
they are parallel. Finally install 2’x4" studs every 16" along the plates.
Make sure you measure for each stud prior to cutting, as the floor to
ceiling distances will vary.
Boxing in Ductwork
Soffits may need to be built if ductwork needs to be boxed in or if planning
to install interior lighting. Soffits are not structural and thus can be
framed using 2"x2"s. Similar to any wall framing, use two parallel 2"x2"
plates and connect them using vertical stud members.
Framing the Ceiling
If drywall is to be installed on the ceiling then you may need to add
effectively a horizontal wall. Basically the same process is done as with
building soffits, however 2"x4"s are used for providing clearance for pipes
hanging below the floor joists. If there are no pipes or wiring hanging
below the floor joists, then 1’x3" strapping may be able to be used. Simply
nail them perpendicular to the floor joists on 16" centers.
