1. A method for constructing an interior wall in spaced proximity to an exterior wall of a building, said method comprising:
(a) providing a wall framing system having:
(i) upper and lower frame channel members each having a base portion extending between an inner brace portion and an outer brace portion and along a length of said frame channel member, wherein said inner and outer brace portions extend substantially perpendicularly from said base portion in a common first direction to define a channel therebetween, and a first stand off portion extending outwardly from said outer brace portion by a first dimension to an outer end;(ii) a plurality of stud members each having first and second ends, substantially parallel outer and inner flanges connected by a web portion, and a major divider portion extending substantially in parallel to said outer and inner flanges from a central region of said web portion to define a plurality of distinct major receptacles between said outer and inner flanges wherein a first major receptacle has a first width defined between said outer flange and said major divider portion, and a second major receptacle has a second width defined between said inner flange and said major divider portion; and(iii) a rigid insulation member; (b) arranging said upper and lower frame channel members in a spaced apart relationship with respective said channels facing one another, the spacing of said upper and lower frame channel members defining a wall height; (c) abutting said outer ends of said stand off portions of said upper and lower frame channel members against the exterior wall to space said respective outer brace portions inwardly from the exterior wall by said first dimension; (d) installing said first and second ends of said stud members into said channels of respective said upper and lower frame channel members, with said outer and inner brace portions of said upper and lower frame channel members interacting with respective said outer and inner flanges of said stud members to secure said stud members to said upper and lower frame channel members in spaced apart relationship along said length; and (e) securing said rigid insulation member to adjacent spaced apart stud members and said upper and lower frame channel members by frictionally engaging said insulation member into respective major receptacles of said adjacently spaced apart stud members, and into respective channels of said upper and lower frame channel members, wherein a gap of predetermined gap dimension is established between said rigid insulation member and the exterior wall, based on said first dimension. |
