Galvanized steel stud and floor joist systems resist rust, rot and termites. Steel will not warp, twist or split. It eliminates time-consuming cutting, and it's 30 to 50 percent lighter than wood. Steel's stable nature yields straighter walls and level floors with little or no waste using wood-sized standard or custom-length studs and joists.

Steel studs in interior walls can cost $2 less per stud than wood, and steel floor joists usually cost less than dimensional wood products. Installation is also less expensive in these applications.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

About steel framing in houses

  

  1. Is it easy to hang pictures on steel framed walls?

    Yes. Lighter pictures can be hung from the drywall with toggle bolts or hangers. Heavier objects can be hung with screws attached directly into the steel stud, easily found with a magnet.

     

  2. Will a steel framed home rust?

    No. The use of zinc coating on the steel framing protects the steel from corrosion for the life of the structure.

     

  3. Will a steel framed home look different than other homes in the development?

    No. A steel framed home will look exactly like any other home; the same exterior finishes can be applied to a steel frame as those applied to a wood frame.
