Steel framing studs, which have been used to frame commercial buildings
for generations, are now gaining in popularity in residential
construction and are becoming available for use in homes at more
affordable prices.
There are many benefits to utilizing steel framing in your new home:
- Steel frames are stronger than wood frames.
Steel is stronger than wood and more resistant to fire, earthquake and tornado damage, and can cost less to insure. Steel also does not rot, warp, crack, split or change with the weather and it is termite- and vermin-proof. - Steel-framed structures move less.
Walls, floors and roofs consistently stay straight when built with steel framing. And, because the structure moves less than when wood framing is used, steel frames can reduce air leakage and energy costs. - Steel framing is environmentally friendly.
Steel is the most environmentally friendly choice, as it saves trees, is non-toxic and creates 100-percent recyclable waste.
