FAQ's


  • Will a steel-framed home look any different than other homes in the community?
    No. A steel-framed home will look exactly like any other home; the same exterior finishes can be applied to a steel frame as those applied to a wood frame.

    Yes. Since steel framing allows for larger spans in the design of the home, less interior loadbearing walls are needed, making renovation very easy while allowing more flexibility in design.

  • Does a steel frame interfere with radio or television reception?
    No. WAves pass through the space between the studs, allowing the sue of all household appliances without any interference.

  • Is it easy to hang pictures on steel framed walls?
    Yes. Lighter pictures can be hung from the drywall with toggle bolts or hangers. Heavier obejects can be hung with screws attached directly into the steel stud, easily found with a magnet.

  • Is a steel frame safe in lightening storms?
    Yes. Steel provides a path for the lightening straight to the ground, so your home or building is grounded like any other.

  • Will a steel-framed home rust?
    No. The use of zinc coating on the steel framing protects the steel from corrosion for the life of the structure.

  • Is a steel-framed home less energy efficient?
