Metal stud framing has a growing number of home builders using it because of its superior quality and great value.

It includes 3 types of framing:
-structural framing
-steel stud framing
-light gauge steel framing

In residential construction, the typical profiles we use are the C-shape stud and the U-shaped track. In commercial steel framing, wide sheets of corrugated steel sheets can be used to cover the top of a steel frame known as a “form”. This sits below a thick layer of concrete and steel reinforcing bars.

Metal stud framing with steel is stronger, lighter, and faster resulting in better design and low cost. With metal stud framing, you don’t have to worry about bending or twisting. Steel studs are perfectly straight, and they never shrink or split. Metal stud framing is more preferred because there is no problem of damping molds and rot, ants, or termites and moreover it is fireproof but as can be in the case of wooden framing.
Each piece of steel framing contains a minimum of 25% recycled content and is 100% recyclable.

Metal stud is also extremely durable – recent research by the US-based Home Innovation Research Labs indicate the zinc coating on steel framing materials can protect against corrosion for hundreds of years.
Light gauge steel framing:
Light gauge steel stud framing construction is very similar to wood-framed construction in principle, the only difference is that wooden frames are replaced with light gauge steel framing. The steel sections used here are called cold-formed sections. Cold-formed steel is shaped by guiding thin sheets of steel through a series of rollers, meaning that the sections are formed, or given shape at room temperature. This is in contrast to thicker hot rolled sections, the result in converting a flat sheet of steel into a C or S-shaped section.

Light gauge steel framing is preferred because these are lighter, stronger, and straighter resulting in better design and at low costs.
