Cold formed steel members (sometimes called light gauge steel) are made from structural-quality sheet steel that’s formed into shaped either through free-braking blank sheared from sheets or coils, or more commonly, by roll-forming the steel through a series of dies. Unlike hot-formed structural I-beams, neither process requires heat to form the shape, thus the name “cold formed” steel. Light gauge steel produces are usually thinner, faster to produce, and cost less than their hot-formed counter-parts.
Quality & Precision: Steel studs and joists are strong, lightweight, and made from uniform-quality material. Steel walls are straight, with square corners, eliminating drywall pops and costly callbacks.
Durability: Cold formed steel is coated to protect against rusting. Hot-dipped zinc galvanizing can protect your steel framing for as long as 250 years.
Safety: Fire safety and termite protection are key benefits. Steel is non-combustible and does not feed a fire.
Resilience: Designed to withstand wind and seismic loads from hurricanes and earthquakes, meeting the strongest national building codes.
Design Flexibility: Achieve greater spans and large open spaces. Components are easily fastened together with screws.
