We offer cold-formed Steel Framing Components to the Construction Industry for interior framing, interior finishing, and structural framing, as well as clips, connectors, metal lath, and accessories.
Cold-formed steel framing is sheet steel that is formed by rolling or pressing sheet steel into shapes and sizes that builders use as alternatives to traditional lumber sizes like 2×4, 2×6, 2×8, 2×10, 2×12, etc. This process is done without heat and is therefore called “cold forming”. The cold-forming process results in steel framing components that are stronger than the original sheet steel.
We are a global, single-source provider offering a complete lineup of steel framing products.

Why Use Cold-formed steel (CFS) framing?
Cold-formed steel framing is a versatile structural product used in load-bearing and curtainwall construction, floor and roof assemblies, mansard and truss frames, as well as interior non-structural partitions. Corrosion resistant, galvanized steel framing is a building code approved solution to many of the limitations that builders face today when using traditional wood based building materials.
Benefits of the Galvanized Steel Framing
- High Strength-to-Weight Ratio
-
Proven stronger option than wood, and this light- weight, zinc-coated framing will not rot, shrink, swell, split, or warp.
- High Strength & Ductility
-
Ideal material for construction in high wind speed and top seismic zones including Japan, Indonesia United States of America, New Zealand, Fiji, Tonga, Chile, Papua New Guinea, Mexico, Solomon Islands.
- Design Versatility
-
Works well independently or in combination with other structural systems.
- Cost-effective
-
Low In-Place and Performance Costs.
- Non-Combustible Construction
-
A wall built with metal studs is virtually fireproof.
- Durability
-
Steel will not warp, crack, split, twist, or expand and contract with changes in moisture levels and weather. Impervious to termites, vermin & insects.
