steel studs

Wall frame components

Steel studs are vertical metal framing members used in construction, replacing traditional wooden studs in walls.

Made from galvanized steel, they resist fire, rot, and insects better than wood.

Steel studs are standard in commercial buildings and increasingly common in residential construction: The contractor framed the basement with steel studs.
