Structural framing is the construction of planes and walls using steel components.
There was a time when wooden studs were the most popular studs used in framing construction. Today, you will be hard pressed to find any new construction that uses them. What changed? The following are some of the reasons why most new commercial contractors have made the switch to metal stud framing, and why they are more expensive than metal stud construction:
- When exposed to moisture, wood could rot or warp.
- Wood is more expensive than metal stud framing.
- Wood studs require a lot of specialized skill to install.
Metal has several advantages
Steel studs do not warp
The use of metal studs and framing is required in commercial buildings.
Steel is also friendlier to the environment
