Complete Construction Contractors
"J"
3/9/2010
This weeks word is jamb. This word has many meanings that could apply to construction activity. One connotation that comes to mind is when one gets himself into an awkward position i.e. "I got myself into a real jam". This does happen, but it's not what we're going to talk about.
Another connotation is the kind of jam that one puts on toast. This isn't really related to construction either. Although a good breakfast can go a long way.
The term "jamb" describes the frame that supports either a window or door opening. The jamb can have a sliding or a hinged door or window. The door jamb for example is the place where the door knob back-set comes into contact with a strike plate that allows the door to latch.
The reason this becomes interesting is because a good operational door or window, and the knowledge required to make it work property, and the key notes of good building practice. Our carpenters are required to have a good sound understanding of principles such as plumb level, and square to make each door or window operate correctly in the corresponding jamb.
These days the products available are more precision made and have provisions in them to allow for proper adjustments for operational ease.
Our goal is to give you a home where all components work their very best - you deserve no less. We guarantee that doors and windows will function in unison with their counterparts - the jambs.
