What is this type of "frame" called

[dosken]

Switched to new windows in the cabin from '69 and then the panel suddenly became ugly and needed to be replaced... when I tore it down (fjällpanel without an air gap obviously), this wall appears, fairly thick boards. Does this type of wall frame have a name, those of you in the business.... "Common j-a '60s frame"?

 

[anaitis]

Standing planks, often 3 or 4 inches thick.
Not so common in the 60s!
But earlier...
A development of the timmer wall.

 

[dosken]

Okay thanks! Yes, they are about 4 inches and look very old some of them, I suspect it's demolition wood from an older house...

 

[MaZtoR]

It might be an old house that was moved there and rebuilt in '69?

 

[dosken]

Reportedly, it was built in '69, the nails the planks are mounted with look galvanized as well, so it probably wasn't put together much earlier anyway?

Plank wall - sturdy and good.

Add some insulation and then put on the facade planks. It will be like new!

 

[dosken]

Oh no. Installed wind barrier and battens for the air gap last weekend and was just planning to screw on the cladding and trim tomorrow.. (I'm not macho enough to nail, if I can avoid it )
On the inside, however, there's 70mm insulation, which we think is sufficient.
What does the facade plank look like?

I think he meant panel boards.

I think he meant panel boards.

Yeah, I wasn't too careful with the naming... and soon someone will probably come along to lecture us about the difference between planks, boards, and pieces of wood in general....

 

[dosken]

According to the internet (where everything is true), a plank should be at least 9" wide. Since these are a maximum of 8", it is therefore a board wall, not a plank.

 

[anaitis]

With the risk of being considered a pedant:
I just remember that the definition of a plank was based on thickness, that a plank should be at least 2" thick.
I could be remembering wrong??

 

[cederbusch]

Aha, so if I take a wide but thick board and turn it a quarter turn, it becomes a narrow plank!

 

[anaitis]

It would probably be wider than the thickness...

 

[MathiasS]

....as I said.......

 

[dosken]

A plank is so wide that you can walk on it and so thick that it can support standing a few meters out from the railing.

Otherwise, it would have been called "Walk on the board"
