Importance of Cold Formed Steel Bridging in House Construction
Cold-Formed Steel (CFS) is great for building because it doesn't catch fire, it's the strongest building material pound for pound, and it lasts almost forever. Compared to wood, it costs a little more upfront, but the savings on building maintenance and insurance more than makeup for it. Steel Stud Framing , also called light steel framing (LSF), works best in a mid-rise building with a floor plan that repeats. There are good candidates in dorms, apartment buildings, offices, assisted living facilities, and storage units. Because the floor plans of these buildings are the same, they don't need as many big beams to cover long distances and take up heavy loads.
