Twisting of Open-End Beams
Acceptable Performance/Condition Twisting of visible open-end beams in excess of 5/8 Inch from plumb is not acceptable. Warranty One-Year Work and Materials Twisting resulting from normal shrinkage caused by drying after construction is excluded from warranty. Action Open-ended beams twisted more than the acceptable condition shall be repaired. Remarks An open-end beam is a wood beam whose end does not abut another framing member or that terminates in open air. Minor twisting is primarily an aesthetic concern rather than a structural problem. |
