Light steel framing has progressed significantly in the world of residential and commercial construction and is now readily accepted by many owners, architects, engineers and builders. It is the best choice for framing walls, ceilings, floors and trusses because of its numerous advantages. Non-combustible Steel does not fuel a fire.
