1) Metal Studs
A metal stud is a type of framing member fabricated from galvanized steel sheets.
Used for framing/structure of the walls.
Available material thickness: 18 ga
Flange sizes available: 2-1/2", 3-5/8", 6", 8"
OC available: 16", 24"

Galvanized top and bottom tracks are included in the products listed above. Openings, headers, beams, bracing, and bridging are excluded.
2) Metal Joist
Suitable for both domestic and commercial use, metal web joists facilitate easy installation of services and produce a lightweight floor system in lengths up to 12 meters.
Used to provide secondary support.
Available material thickness: 12, 14, 16, 18 ga
Diameters: 6", 8", 10", 12"
3) Floor Decking
The metal floor decking is laid and fastened to a support structure, this can either be done with a composite or non-composite deck. Structural concrete is then poured over the metal decking, in turn becoming a part of the floor structural system itself.
Used for framing/structure for the floors
Available material thickness: 16, 18, 20, 22 ga
Diameters: 1-1/2", 2", 3"
4) Bracing
Braced frames, a structural system in buildings subject to lateral loads, generally consist of structural steel, which works well for the requirements of tension and compression on these frames.
Used to provide stability and resist lateral loads, either from diagonal steel members or from a concrete ‘core’.
Available material thickness: 16, 18 ga
Dimensions: 1-1/2", 2"
OC available: 16", 24"
5) Roof Decking
Metal decking is corrugated metal sheeting that’s used as a structural roof deck or composite floor deck. It will be supported by steel beams or joists.
Used to support the insulating membrane of a roof or to support and bond with the concrete to create a composite metal deck.
Available material thickness: 14, 16, 18, 20, 22 ga
Types: B, N, J, H wide rib
Diameters: 1-1/2", 3", 4-1/2", 6", 7-1/2"
