Metal Framing Services

For a building/structure to be durable and for it to stand strong in the face of weather changes and the elements, it is essential that it is formed with the right material. Metal framing is considered a solid method for building structures and has been in use since the 1950s.

Metal framing is used to form a skeleton frame or structure of a building that has to be constructed. It is a durable and cost-effective option for low-rise, mid-rise, and high-rise building projects. Metal is a great substitute for wood. It does not rot, it does not warp, when it comes in contact with wood, and does not wear with the weather change. Hence, the structure stands stronger than a wooden structure and is more reliable. The development of metal framing, as a business technique, has made skyscrapers possible.

Metal Framing & Structural Components

This method of framing consists of horizontal I-beams and vertical steel columns, constructed to support the floor, ceiling, and walls of the building. The available shapes and sizes ensure that the most complicated structures can also be built through metal framing. U studs and C studs are used to connect the columns and beams and build the structure. Metal structures and materials are pre-manufactured and brought to use for construction.

The installer will measure the size of the studs and the number of studs required for the frame. At Portland Drywall Systems, our team of professionals has the experience required to correctly estimate the right size of studs required to conduct the structural construction. We have handled many products with intricate designs and have plenty of happy customers. Moreover, we have the equipment required to conduct the task reliably and within the specified period.
