PERFORMANCE GUIDELINES: 14. GARAGES AND EXTERIORS

14.25 Twisting of Open-Ended Beam

Acceptable Performance/Condition

Twisting of visible open-end beams in excess of 20mm (3/4”) from plumb is not acceptable.

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. Minor twisting resulting from normal shrinkage caused by drying after construction is not covered under warranty.

Warranty Coverage

• 12 months In-Home
• 15 months Common Property

Claim Response

Open-end beams not meeting the Acceptable Performance/Condition must be rectified.

Where repairs are required, colour, finish or texture may not have an exact match.
