When developing a complex commercial building, strong framing is crucial for long-term strength and durability. Metal framing is a highly durable solution and one of the most common choices when it comes to large innovative projects.
Because framing has such an impact on building safety and security, it’s a job that is best left to only the most skilled and experienced commercial subcontractors in the industry. If you have a complicated commercial project that calls for metal stud framing, choosing the right subcontractor is the best way to limit risk and produce quality results. The team at UBG (Unique Building Group) is the best choice for your metal stud framing needs in the San Diego area.
What is Metal Stud Framing?
Metal Stud Framing is used to create walls, partitions, frames, and building structures. While wood studs have been used for hundreds of years, metal studs offer a higher degree of durability and are a key underlying component to some of the world’s most innovative architecture.
Metal stud framing is a popular choice for commercial buildings. This system consists of a set of tracks and studs. The tracks hold the studs in place, and they also provide a base and top plates for the wall structure. The tracks are secured to the floor and ceiling, and the studs are then inserted onto the tracks, which creates a strong support system for the wall. In order to make sure the walls and tracks are strong, the precise alignment between the stud and the track is key. A full metal stud wall is comprised of C studs, I studs, U studs, channel tracks, and resilient bars.
Some of the benefits of metal stud framing include:
- Stability – Due to its strength and stability, steel is widely considered to be one of the most durable framing materials.
- Durability & Safety – Unlike wood, metal stud framing is pest and fire resistant, which can reduce insurance and maintenance costs.
- Uniformity – Also unlike wood framing, which can have flaws and imperfections, metal framing is uniform and consistent.
- Weight Tolerance – Metal studs have a significantly higher weight threshold than wood studs, which allows you to hang heavy cabinets or secure furniture with confidence.
