Metal Framing Studs Mean Your Walls Are Precisely As Designed - Performance Drywall of Gilbert ArizonaCommercial framing is the structure of a building. Metal framing studs assure that the structure is precisely shaped exactly the way it was designed. Metal framing is only way we know to achieve the kind of quality we’re known for.
In contrast, wood studs swell and warp as they absorb and release water moisture from the air – a wooden wall actually moves from day to day, season to season. That can lead to “settling” and cracks in walls.
We use laser alignments and our steel stud walls are within 1/8” over a 30 foot span. And they stay where they are built. No settling, no cracks.
In addition, metal framing studs can be easily attached to the superstructure by welding. Of course, we have certified welders on our team to make sure that’s done right, too.
Building with metal stud framing also makes it easy to achieve some very special design effects.
