2x6 Wall Construction
When a home is built using 2×6 studs, that means the depth of the wall will be approximately 5 ½ inches. That added depth of the wall allows for additional insulation. This provides a better barrier from the elements (both hot and cold) and therefore increased energy savings. Additionally, thicker walls and thicker insulation means a quieter home.

13 Full Wood Extension Jambs with Casings & Sills
Another benefit to thicker walls is the beautiful detail it allows for full wood extension jambs and deep window sills. This detail throughout the home provides a polished finish.
