Steel framing is manufactured from thin gauge, high tensile steel, making the frames approximately one-third of the weight of traditional timber framing. Steel framing creates a lighter, stronger structure compared to timber framing and concrete products, resulting in higher earthquake and wind load strengths.
The lightweight nature of steel makes it easier to transport and handle, reducing transportation costs3, fuel consumption and stress on your crew.
