Framed Ceiling

A framed ceiling is used in a heated building where efficiency is important.  Normally, heating the attic area above the bottom of the trusses results in wasted energy.  Ceiling joists are 2×6 joists spaced 24” on center installed between the bottom chords of the trusses.  A sheathing, typically drywall, is attached to the ceiling joist creating a surface for blow-in insulation.  The finished ceiling will give the room or building a completed appearance and promote energy efficiency.
