Metal Framing

Metal framing is an excellent building choice for both commercial and residential construction. Its benefits over wood framing are significant:

  • Light gauge metal framing can reach spans far greater than traditional or engineered lumber, providing larger open spaces, taller walls, and flexible floor plans.
  • Doesn't warp, twist, bow, or split
  • Non-combustible
  • Resists termites and rot
  • Supports good indoor air quality
  • Lightning resistant
  • More environmentally friendly than wood
  • Floors won't squeak
  • Walls will stay straight

Metal framing's advantages over wood reduce construction costs, making it a cost-efficient choice.
