A wood wall full header refers to using a single or double beam that has a depth that fully spans from the door opening to the top plate. This substantial depth allows the header to span larger openings and carry more load than shallower headers. As a result, it eliminates the need for cripple studs, which are typically used above headers to help distribute the load. By using a full header, the structural integrity is maintained while providing a more structured header above doors or windows, which can be useful for architectural aesthetics or accommodating utilities. This approach is often employed in scenarios where larger openings or specific design elements are desired.
Full Wood Wall Headers are constructed in a range of sizes with header heights of 7”, 8.75”, 10.75”, 12.75” (17.8, 22.2, 27.3, 32.4 cm). Full Wood Wall Headers are paired with a stud size of 3.5” (8.9 cm) and stud spacing of 16” (40.6 cm).
