Steel framing is a type of construction that uses steel to form the skeletal structure of a building. It is a common alternative to traditional wood framing, as it is more durable and requires less maintenance. Steel framing is also more fire-resistant and can be used in areas prone to earthquakes. Steel framing is made from a variety of steel products, including structural steel, cold-formed steel, and light-gauge steel. Structural steel is used for large-scale projects, such as skyscrapers, while cold-formed steel is used for smaller projects, such as residential homes. Light-gauge steel is used for interior walls and partitions. The iron and steel industry is a major contributor to the steel framing market.
