The light gauge steel framing industry employs technology in innovative ways as it begins carving new paths for its products and services. “Load bearing light gauge steel framing” means light gauge steel framing products and systems that are used to comprise all of the primary building structure.
Right now, the light gauge steel stud industry dominates market share positions in non-load bearing applications (curtain walls, partition walls and supports for suspended ceilings) for nearly every commercial construction market segment.
Economics, assisted by new proprietary truss shapes, improved design abilities and software, and non-combustibility requirements are all contributing to steel’s favorable growth. The commercial framing contractors generally find the transition to light gauge steel an easy and beneficial one, which greatly assists in creating a larger pool of available, trained labor.
In the residential markets, panelizing steel wall components offsite saves time and labor money and produces, in most cases, a better product. Making money at producing steel wall panels, both load and non-load bearing applications, is a tricky
business. Technological advances in design and manufacturing make it possible for Spherical Steel Structures to offer a high-strength, fully integrated steel wall panel system that’s competitive and easy to use.
Fully integrated automated systems from design to fabrication, technological advanced individual applications like trusses and wall panels are further integrated, providing a total framing solution that covers everything top to bottom. The technology that efficiently combines and eases compatibility of these systems is what has brought about our sizable growth. Our components are fully engineered, code compliant and field practical steel framing systems that meet the highest design standards and are cost-effective solutions for the builder, general contractor, architect and engineer, not to mention the home owners.
Knowing what the market needs and how to solve those needs currently provides a platform for light gauge steel components to “leap frog” conventional methods and vastly improve not only the construction process but the building itself.
Steel Stud Industry
Technology in design, fabrication and even shipping, has led to more
efficient steel truss profiles able to span large distances, and can be
effectively roll formed in a variety of depths and gauges. Highly
automated and efficient engineering software, truss layout software and
truss fabrication facilities have had a direct impact on our growth and
success of light gauge steel truss systems.
