Cold-Formed Steel (CFS)
What is Cold-Formed Steel (CFS)?
Cold-Formed Steel (CFS) is a precision-engineered steel framing system manufactured from galvanized steel coils that are formed into structural components without the use of heat.
It is commonly used to manufacture:
• Wall panels
• Roof trusses
• Floor joists
• Load-bearing walls
• Interior framing
• Structural framing systems
Cold-Formed Steel is known for its strength, dimensional accuracy, and long-term durability, making it an excellent choice for commercial, multifamily, industrial, agricultural, and select residential projects.
What are the benefits of Cold-Formed Steel?
Cold-Formed Steel offers many advantages over traditional wood framing, including:
• Straighter walls
• Greater dimensional stability
• Termite resistant
• Rot resistant
• Mold resistant
• Non-combustible
• Reduced material waste
• Lightweight yet strong
• Consistent manufacturing quality
• Engineered for high-wind applications
• Recyclable and environmentally friendly
These benefits help improve construction quality while reducing long-term maintenance.
Is Cold-Formed Steel stronger than wood?
Cold-Formed Steel offers superior dimensional stability compared to traditional lumber.
Unlike wood, steel does not:
• Warp
• Twist
• Split
• Shrink
• Rot
• Attract termites
Because every steel member is manufactured to precise dimensions, builders benefit from straighter walls, more consistent framing, and improved long-term performance.
Is Cold-Formed Steel engineered for high-wind areas?
Yes.
Cold-Formed Steel framing systems can be engineered to meet the structural requirements of projects located in high-wind regions.
Engineering requirements vary depending on building location, applicable codes, occupancy type, and project specifications.
Our engineering team reviews each project individually to ensure the framing system is designed for its intended application.
Is Cold-Formed Steel environmentally friendly?
Yes.
Steel is one of the world's most recycled building materials.
Cold-Formed Steel can help reduce construction waste while supporting sustainable building practices.
Additional environmental benefits include:
• Recyclable material
• Reduced jobsite waste
• Long service life
• Resistance to moisture-related deterioration
• Reduced need for replacement materials
Does Cold-Formed Steel rust?
Cold-Formed Steel framing is manufactured from galvanized steel that is coated to help protect against corrosion.
When properly installed and used in accordance with applicable building standards, galvanized steel provides excellent long-term durability.
As with any building material, proper design, detailing, and moisture management are important for long-term performance.
Can Cold-Formed Steel be used for residential homes?
Yes.
Cold-Formed Steel is an excellent solution for many residential projects, including:
• Custom homes
• Luxury homes
• Barndominiums
• Townhomes
• Residential developments
• Production housing
• Multi-unit residential communities
Our primary residential focus is on larger projects, repeat floor plans, and developments rather than small one-time residential builds.
Is Cold-Formed Steel fire resistant?
Cold-Formed Steel is a non-combustible building material, meaning it does not contribute fuel to a fire.
However, overall fire performance depends on the complete wall, floor, or roof assembly, including insulation, gypsum board, and other building components.
Project-specific fire ratings should always follow engineered designs and applicable building codes.
Can Cold-Formed Steel reduce construction time?
Yes.
Because steel framing components are precision manufactured, projects can often benefit from improved installation efficiency.
Benefits may include:
• Faster framing
• Reduced field modifications
• Improved material organization
• More consistent framing layouts
• Less jobsite waste
• Better coordination between trades
Actual construction schedules vary depending on project size, design, permitting, and installation crews.
