Here at the SWET Construction Group we are proud to offer our clients a variety of building resources to meet their demands, requirements and preferences in the Southeastern United States, including Miami, Orlando, Atlanta.
One popular options we offer is that of metal framing, just like wood framing and everything else there are pro’s and con’s to be considered.
Metal studs are lighter in weight and therefore easier to handle and maneuver. The quality of construction can be higher because the quality from one stud to the next is constant. With straight studs there are no bows in walls, which makes hanging drywall easier and more precise. Metal studs come with pre-punched holes to run electrical and plumbing lines.
Taking into consideration that prices fluctuates frequently with wood and metals SWET Construction Group will discuss which option will fit your needs and budget.
The structural integrity is increased with the use of metal studs. Which is why metal framed Multi-Family homes, assisted living facilities and medical buildings are frequently constructed in areas that high winds, hurricanes or earthquakes are more stable compared to homes with wood framing. Because of this, some insurance companies offer lower premiums.
Research has found that it takes 40-50 trees to frame a typical home and 6 to 8 recycled vehicles to frame the same Multi-Family home. The clean up with metal framing is also better for the environment due to less landfill waste is generated.
