A metal stud wall or ceiling is selected for several reasons. We’ll list them.
1. Lightweight construction. Metal stud is lighter than wood. As a result, it is suitable for applications in which saving weight is important.
2. Durability. The material is not susceptible to corrosion, mold or termites. This means it lasts longer than wood, for example.
3. Straightness. Metal stud is always straight and poses no risk of warping.
4. Fire resistance. Depending on the specific materials used, metal stud walls often offer higher fire resistance than wooden walls.
5. Easy installation. They’re quick and easy to install, saving you time and labor costs.
6. Saving space. Metal stud walls are thin. Therefore they are suitable for applications in which space constraints are an issue.
7. Recyclable. Because steel is recyclable, the structures are much more environmentally friendly.
