Cold-Formed Steel Framing for Commercial Drywall Contractors
Every day, more and more architects, designers, and construction teams are turning to cold-formed steel for its many benefits.
Cold-formed steel (CFS) is a type of steel that is shaped at room temperature using high pressure rather than being heated and shaped as is done with traditional hot-rolled steel. CFS is commonly used in construction for framing, load-bearing walls, and floor joists. It is lightweight, strong, and easy to work with, which makes it a popular choice for commercial drywall contractors.
There are several advantages to using cold-formed steel in commercial drywall construction:
Cold-formed steel is used to construct drywall partitions, ceiling framing, wall studs, floor joists, roof trusses, and other building elements.
Many commercial drywall contractors have switched to cold-formed steel in drywall construction because of its durability, strength, versatility, and other unique benefits. Cold-formed steel is also more environmentally friendly than other building materials, as it is composed of at least 25% recycled materials. It can also be recycled and reused.
If you’re not using cold-formed steel as an alternative to traditional wood framing, now’s the time to get rolling!
Because cold-formed steel framing is one of the most significant technological advances the industry has seen in the last 50 years.
With cold-formed steel framing, you can:
- Completely eliminate nail pops and callbacks.
- Reduce your labor force when erecting walls.
- Have guaranteed predictability, job after job.
- Building materials that are always ready and delivered on time.
- Jobs that come in on budget, on time, and on spec.
- Permanently straight walls that are structurally maintenance-free.
- The speed and savings of panelized walls.
- A cost that is less expensive in the long run than stick building.
