The Easy Way to Frame a Wall 16 Inches on Center

When you build a wall, the studs should be spaced equidistant from each other.

This standard is necessary because building materials are designed to fit that space.

For example, insulation and medicine cabinets will only fit into a 16 inch layout.

This uniform distance also makes it easier tolocate wall studswhen hanging mirrors or cabinets.

You need a framing square, measuring tape and pencil to measure and mark your distances accurately.

Each corresponding measurement should be 3/4 of an inch shy of stud marks on your tape measure.

This will give you studs that are on 16 inch center layouts.
