- Strength: Steel offers the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any framing material.
- Safety: The strength of steel offers greater protection to you and your family during hurricanes, tonadoes, earthquakes, and thunderstorms.
- Energy Efficient: The fact that steel is dimensionally stable eliminates the settling associated with other framing products. This reduces air infiltration and lowers utility bills.
- Enviromental: Steel is 100% recyclable, making steel the material of choice for the next generation.
- Quality: Steel will not warp, crack, twist, bow, rot, shrink, or swell which leads to a more quality home for years to come.
- Non-combustible: Steel will not burn, eliminating the third leading type of house fires, those which are started in the framing of the home. Also steel will not contribute to a fire allowing considerably more time to escape a fire.
- Flexible: Steel can be designed for longer spans which create more open floor plans and fewer load bearing walls.
- Termite Proof: Steel is impervious to termites and other wood boring insects, thus eliminating the structural damage that can be caused by these insects.
- Mold: Steel Framing is inorganic and therefore does not support the growth of mold.
- Construction: Steel Framing Inc. works with you or your local contractor to assure success.
