What Is Steel Stud Framing?

In North America, the norm for most buildings is traditional wood framing. It’s been that way for centuries, and because we have so many trees (and such a demanding climate!), it’s likely to stay that way for many years to come.

However, while wood will probably stay the most popular option, there is a growing move towards lightweight steel stud framing as an alternative, and it’s one that offers many distinct benefits.

As the name suggests, steel stud framing is a framing system that is made up of light, preformed studs and braces, that can be quickly assembled and fastened together on site and are great for hanging drywall and other wall systems.

​What Are the Benefits of Steel Stud Framing?

There’s no denying that wood is a great construction material, but there are many benefits to steel stud framing too. These include:
They don’t warp, and they don’t rot. These are two of the biggest drawbacks to using softwood studs, but they never happen to steel. 

Because it’s harder and has greater tensile strength than wood, steel studs can be significantly lighter than wood without compromising on strength. This is particularly useful when constructing interior walls in multi story buildings. Less weight means less pressure on foundations and load bearing walls! 

Bugs don’t eat steel, so these types of studs are termite proof, and they’re impervious to heat, so small fires won’t necessarily turn into a raging inferno in homes and buildings with steel stud framing. 

Steel studs can be cheaper than wood, especially if you opt for recycled products. 

Steel stud framing can also be quicker to install, because many components are pre-manufactured, whereas wood has to be cut to size on site.

Steel stud framing might not be suitable for every application, and its always a good idea to consult an architect or engineer if you’re in any doubt, but in many cases, they offer significant benefits over traditional wood.
