📐🔎 Construction Close-Ups: Select 2x4s & 2x6s
When you walk through a Welbilt home during framing, you’ll notice something different right away—straight, clean, select-grade 2×4 and 2×6 studs. This isn’t standard in the building industry… not even close.
Most builders use #2 grade lumber. It’s common, it’s cheaper, and it often comes with more knots, twists, and inconsistencies. But we don’t build that way.
We frame with select lumber because it’s stronger, straighter, and far more stable. That means:
✨straighter walls ✨tighter finishes
✨fewer framing adjustments ✨a better-built home from the inside out
It’s one of those behind-the-scenes choices you may never notice visually—but you’ll definitely feel the difference in the quality of the home you live in. At Welbilt Homes, this is our standard… even though it’s uncommon everywhere else.
