Tape Measure: Red Marks
The red marks on a tape measure typically indicate the spacing for studs in framing.
In construction and carpentry, these marks offer a convenient reference point for spacing objects uniformly along a surface. Primarily employed for maintaining consistent spacing between wall studs, typically set at 16 inches on center, they act as a visual guide for builders, streamlining the process of framing walls or other structures without the need for complex calculations.
