Floor Panels:

Enlarge Photo		This type of floor connection uses a double or a single 2x stud. The studs slide into the panels and are then nailed off at a 6" spacing.

		This type of a floor connection uses pre-installed metal studs. The metal studs are laminated into the panel, fit together with a tongue and groove system, then screwed together using a 6" spacing.

		Floor panels are attached to the sill plate using panel screws. The panel screws are longer than the panel width, going entirely through the panel and into the sill plate with 1' spacings.
