How is a solid different from a frame?
In a frame the structure is not continuous throughout the panels of the building, but is in connected lines of structure that form a frame. For example in timber framed buildings: the timber is a structural frame that does not completely fill in the walls, roof and floor. These are clad over and lined within the framing to form panels. The framing bears the structural loads. In concrete or brick masonry construction: the walls are formed by the masonry units being put together to form solid walls. This means the loads of the building are distributed throughout the entire wall.
Can you use Stucco texture for interior walls?
