Irma is of Germanic origin, and it is used mainly in the English, French, German, Indian, Italian, and Spanish languages. The name is derived from the short form of German names with the first element irmin (meaning 'whole, immense, universal') or ermen and starting with 'Irm-', such as Irmingard.
Wood framing, or light frame construction, is the assembly of dimensional lumber or engineered wood lumber that is regularly spaced and fastened together with nails to create floor, wall and roof assemblies. Wood is the most common material used within the construction industry today.
Special tools are used to frame steel-stud walls and door openings. Metal walls framed with steel studs are practical in basements and utility rooms where water heaters and washing machines are installed. Unlike wood framing, steel framing doesn't rot due to moisture, and it resists rust.
