Consistent material quality – produced in strict accordance with national standards. no regional variations. Steel Stud framing will produce a building frame that exceeds all building codes.

Steel Stud Use: Less scrap and waste (2% for steel vs. 20% for lumber)More Steel is recycled everyday than all the glass, paper, aluminum and other plastics combined.
Price stability – price spikes are extremely rare
Consumer perceives steel as better

Steel stud does not succumb to shrinkage or movement and maintains its strength and structural integrity. Steel trusses and steel joists have large span capabilities, creating impressive, large open spaces.

Better Structure: There are many reasons why steel framing has come to the forefront as one of the best and most feasible alternative building materials for residential and commercial construction. Steel is a Superior Construction Material. It has the Highest strength-to-weight ratio of any building material and is 100% recyclable. With a High 68% industry recycling rate. Much better than wood. It is also Non-combustible does not burn nor contribute fuel to the spread of a fire. In many cases this is a major factor in Medical and Dental office build.
