We live in an area where structures must be durable enough to meet the highest windload specifications required to withstand the natural forces of hurricanes. Did you know that steel can help provide that strength?

For that matter buildings are lightning resistant because steel framing provides multiple conductive paths directly to the ground. Schools and public buildings are more resistant to fire because steel is non-combustible and complies with fire codes and regulations.

Buildings are constructed with metal studs that are impervious to termites and other wood destroying insects. Steel-framed buildings are energy efficient when properly insulated and because steel is dimensionally stable metal studs will not expand or contract with humidity changes.

Why use anything else!
