Description

C-Stud framed steel walls are a popular choice in modern construction due to their strength, durability, and ease of installation. C-Studs are steel members with a channel-shaped cross-section, resembling the letter "C". These are vertically aligned between floor and ceiling tracks to form the framework for non-load bearing walls.

The spaced C-Studs are then clad with drywall or other paneling materials. This construction technique is lightweight, which makes it easier to handle than traditional wood framing. Additionally, steel C-Studs are impervious to rot and pests, offer superior fire resistance, and allow for precise, straight, and smooth wall surfaces.
