COLD-FORMED STEEL WALL PANELS

Benefits of Pre-Panelized Cold-Formed Steel Wall Panels

Speed of Schedule: Inclement weather delays are minimized due to the CFS panels being pre-fabricated off-site and can be stood in a matter of a day or two vs. several weeks of “stick framing”

Scope: FWC provides a clear and precise layout during the budgeting stage of the materials provided to clearly define scope and mitigate “Scope Creep”

Amplified Stud: Developed by a team of engineers with an emphasis on minimizing gauges while carrying the same weight as heavier gauges. This means lower cost to the customer and efficient substrate installation due to the lighter gauge.

Quality Control: Rigorous quality control procedures are set in place to provide a superior product versus “stick framing” in the field.

Ease of Assembly: Qualified labor is getting harder to find, with panelization the need for qualified labor to install the Cold-Formed Steel wall panels is minimized.

BENEFITS of COLD-FORMED STEEL VS. WOOD FRAMING:

  • Strength and Durability
  • Termite Protection
  • Lower Insurance Premiums
  • Galvanized Steel is Environmentally Friendly
  • Fire Safety
  • Superior Wind, Hurricane, and Earthquake Performance
  • Benefits During the Construction Process
