Steel framing walls assembly video - FOX REN

This video breifly shows you how to assemble a steel framing wall!

Exterior claddings(XPS, Tyvek paper, OSB board, insulations, windows,etc) can be pre attached to Wall panel frames in factory before loading into containers. This greatly cut on site labor time and cost, fasten the whole process and ensure the accuracy by our skilled and experienced workers.

What u have to do onsite is to place them on the slab and connect, then stucco system or other finishings applied.

lol...im no carpenter, im trying to make a bench for my small shop, i work on motorcycles on and off....a motorcycle lift would cost like 500-600 bucks, i also detail and paint cars and i would need a bench that would hold atleast 600lbs and be light to move or hoist it up to the little attic in the garage...i figured these steel studs may be lighter then wood but since its thinner im not sure if it would hold the weight

@jettastreetracer that will need calculations, hot rolled studs or thicker gauges can make it strong enough to support

@RenoDoctor termites play a great roll, yes, but also it is the cyclones, the really big tornadoes that hit over and over in some areas. Steel plays the roll of strengthener, where as wood cant and concrete is too expensive. I guess the most important factor to concider though is how builders the world over will try to "cheap out" as you put it. Auss was the same. Now they have possibly the most rigid building codes in the world for quality and building. Its a pain but a good thing.

@sqnhunter there's no question steel has superior yield strength over lumber mass per mass. But when comparing Australia to elsewhere it must be mentioned that the termite problem is a primary determinant in the opting of metal stud over lumber for longevity. In the Canadian construction industry builders, by default, will cheap out and install the weakest, flimsiest metal stud they can. Compared to lumber, complete crap.

@lexichronicle2 In auss, they are engineered and designed and produced by factory machines. If you want a wall to withstand a mack truck direct hit, It will do it. Up to 2mm thick and placed in all the correct places for strength required. Most of the steel sheet is formed specifically for specific jobs and is all cold rolled to maintain structual design integrity. They are not just saws. These machines measure, cut, bend, fold, roll and punch then weld all in one.

@sqnhunter Secondly, as all the great minds forget, from floor to roof, where is the weakest point for shear in a hurricane. most worry about the stud and forget the weakest point is where the stud is anchored to the floor or where the stud screws into the top channel where all the roofing or flooring is fastened. steel fastening bolts are a lot better than nails in timber any day. Thats where the tearing begins.

@RenoDoctor building a steel frame house is far better to a wood house as steel is stronger than wood in all ways. yield strength, compression weight and shear. this is due to great leaps in building called engineering. Which is a bit beyond most builders. Its simple. You have a local wind rating of wd45, you design housing to withstand that. In steel, you just increase the guage of the studs and placement in design. Whallahh!..you have a stronger house with minimal extra bulk.

@RenoDoctor Dont know about america, but in australia, we produced stud design to replace wood studs. Not concrete. It is cheaper, pest resistant, does not warp or shrink or distort and is far cleaner and easier to work with and much stronger screwed together in a cyclone than wood stud and nail housing design. :) Now, 25g studs are not just for drywall in auss as i suspect is same in USa. Studs are manufactured to temper, eg. 12g 14g 16g 18g and 20g for structual building designs.

@RenoDoctor Part 2. Metal studs were designed to support interior drywall anchored to the inside of load bearing concrete block. Studs only bore gypsum. Wily contractors looking to outbid block design finagled an argument that cross-bracing could to do the same job as block.Uh-uh. It can withstand moderate seismic activity due to weight advantage but not airborne debris, the primary cause of hurricane-related structural damage.

@RenoDoctor

As I have stated already, steel is still a number of times stronger in shear and compression than wood is. I cannot understand your argument either, you fail to make sense.

[RenoDoctor]

@michaeljames92 MS is promoted as having the highest strength-to-weight ratio. Which is true. But what isn't disclosed is it means yield strength: resistance to pulling force. House framing is mainly subject to compression and shear. When pulled up means badass hurricane; when down, gravity due to sinkhole or washout. Attic joists brace against angular axial roof load: angled trusses technically pushing the wall top plate outward that in fact don't via sympathetic web loading.

[RenoDoctor]

@lexichronicle2 The opposite for *structural* framing. Non-load and partition walls, that originally designed for, work fine. What's happening is manufacturers are expanding into the structural market. If a homeowner wants steel, go with I-beam. The metal screw fasteners have stronger MOE and MOR than the metal stud.
