Framing is one of the most important elements of commercial construction. A building’s frame gives it stability, support, and load distribution. It also helps it withstand earthquakes, high wind speeds, and fires. Because framing is so critical to the functional use and safety of a building, it’s not a component developers can afford to get wrong.
Most commercial buildings rely on metal stud framing, which has many advantages over the traditional wood framing often found in smaller commercial buildings and homes.
Because of our expertise, commitment to safety, and excellent performance track record, Unique Building Group has earned a reputation as the best steel stud framing subcontractor in the San Diego area. We’ll tell you all you need to know about metal framing in commercial construction and why we’re the right partner for the job.
Metal Stud Framing Is The Optimal Choice For High-Quality Commercial Buildings
Metal stud framing is a system comprised of horizontal and vertical cold-formed steel which is equipped with a stud and a track. Metal stud frames use heavy gauge studs to support exterior walls and light gauge studs to connect interior walls. Steel framing and metal studs need to be installed with incredible precision to ensure load-bearing walls, interior walls, and the entire frame are sound.
Developers choose metal stud framing because it’s durable. It’s better suited to withstand natural disasters, and it’s less susceptible to damage. It’s non-combustible, which means better protection from fires. While it tends to be more expensive, its long-term strength and reliability make it the optimal choice for commercial buildings.
