As the paradigm in construction is converting from wood to light gauge steel studs, builders are breaking ground into the light gauge steel framing industry. Current technology offers computer aided engineering and automated production for steel studs which yields greater building strength, dramatically reduced assembly time and lower labor costs.
This automated system entails transferring electronic Cut To Length files directly to SonLight Steel’s light gauge steel stud machines. Light gauge steel studs are automatically produced and fabricated into steel components that are used in both residential and commercial construction.
Additionally, SonLight Steel will produce custom lengths for those special
projects.
Steel framing material is significantly stronger than wood. In fact, it has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any residential building material. So you know your building is more solid with steel.
Unlike wood framed buildings, steel framed buildings can be engineered for the highest seismic rating available for residential construction. Steel's strength and resiliency are part of the reason, plus the way a steel frame is constructed and fastened to the foundation.
Unlike wood, steel studs and trusses are not affected by moisture induced twisting, shrinking and warping inherent with wood framing, the result being virtually no jamming doors, sticking windows, leaking roofs, or cracking cornices when steel is your material of choice.
Steel framing is lightweight and strong. It is prefabricated to your specifications and delivered in easy to erect sections. Erection is much faster and is not as dependent on fine weather.
