Let’s set the record (and the buildings) straight about the myths of working with light gauge steel

Much like old wives’ tales – myths about light gauge steel framing can cause unnecessary barriers for builders thinking about making the switch.

It is time to debunk those steel framing myths and that is exactly what this blog from StrucSoft Solutions^* does. The blog nips some of those inaccuracies in the bud and instead focuses on the benefits of building with what is increasingly being considered “an awesome construction material”.

So, what are these myths that need busting? They purport that if you use light gauge steel framing you can expect it: to rust, to be noisy, to be expensive, to attract lightening and to negatively impact phone and Wi-Fi reception. Oh, and did you know that steel framed houses are all the same! (only according to myth, of course).

The blog also deals with truths focused on what sets steel framing apart in the world of construction. Have a read – kicking the misconceptions to touch as you go - to find out how light gauge steel can elevate your projects and increase your bottom line.
