Light Gauge Steel Floor Framing

No longer just studs tracks and headers.

Light gauge steel floor framing.

Steel framing produces far less on site waste than wood framing making debris removal less costly. Also since it goes to recycling facilities the waste can even produce some income to offset project costs. Cold formed steel structures are both lightweight and strong helping the job to get completed quickly. As a metal light gauge steel won t rot split warp shrink twist burn or become termite food.

Light gauge steel framing is easily assembled with c joist components which are economical lightweight and come conveniently pre cut. No longer just a division between space. The steel sections used here are called cold formed sections meaning that the sections are formed or given shape at room temperature. Light gauge framing systems all steel mid rise wall and floor system packages are constructed of the highest quality products and services guaranteed to meet the needs of any mid rise project.

Light gauge steel construction is very similar to wood framed construction in principle the wooden framing members are replaced with thin steel sections. All steel offers panelized load bearing walls and 3 different types of floor systems to suit the needs and expectations of the individual project and. This is in contrast to thicker hot rolled sections that are shaped while the steel is molten hot. We see what the future for walls holds and we are acting on it with steel framing products that perform as a system backed by intelligent design tools and fully capable engineering services.
