Light gauge steel framing has proved to be advantageous over traditional framing, which uses wood for framing homes and offices.
Advantages of a Metal Building
- Prefab steel buildings are more sturdy and durable because a steel building can withstand different climates, which a wood framing cannot. In addition, structural steel beams are lighter than wood and so are easy to carry and work on.
- Steel framed houses are termite resistant, insect proof, flame retardant, and no mole can damage your steel frame buildings.
- Steel barns are perfectly straight, always exactly the same size and lighter than wood.
- Structural steel beam neither wraps nor splits. Steel wall studs do not shrink or rot.
- Steel trusses are cost effective.
The demand for steel frame houses and commercial steel buildings has risen considerably in the recent years as more and more people are opting for steel frame building due to their exciting characteristics. Metal fabricators can capitalize on this rising demand by using roll forming machines.
A stud roll forming machine uses flat steel plate and bend it into a profile. When roll is formed, this very profile creates steel trusses, steel wall studs, steel barns and steel structural beams. Being light in weight, these light gauge steel framing provides an excellent choice for creating ceiling and wall motifs and framework for valances. A fast roll forming machine can produce 500 linear feet of steel stud per minute. Also, the roll forming machine increases quality, through-put and in the long run, profit for the sheet metal manufacturer.
