Philmore DW30 Wall Plate

Description

Wall plate is a horizontal member that runs atop a wall, connecting various structural elements like studs, beams, and rafters. It plays a pivotal role in distributing loads evenly, ensuring stability and overall building strength. Types include the sole plate (anchored to the foundation) and the double top plate (stacked for added strength). Proper installation and adherence to building codes are crucial, while moisture-resistant materials guard against damage.
