Cold-Formed Steel
Cold-formed steel (CFS) is made by pressing or rolling steel at low temperatures. Floors, roofs, and walls are often framed with CFS.
Non-Combustible
The fire resistance of steel provides an additional level of safety to structural frames.
Sustainability
Fastwalls steel is on average comprised of 74% consumer scrap. When steel components are used for the building envelope they can help to qualify the building for LEED.
Durability
Ability to provide a long life-cycle with minimal maintenance. CFS framing resists decay, corrosion, rot, termites, and mold.
Fast Facts
⋅ Highest strength-to-weight ratio of any building material
⋅ Lighter than other framing materials
⋅ Steel has the same strength in all loading directions
