steel framing
Building's metal bones
Steel framing is a construction method using steel beams, columns, and studs as the structural skeleton of a building.
In commercial construction, steel frames support skyscrapers and warehouses.
In residential work, light-gauge steel studs substitute for wooden framing: The contractor recommended steel framing for the addition because it won't warp or attract termites.
