Question & Answer

Will a steel framed home look different from other homes in a community? 

No. Your steel framed home will look just like any other home. The same exterior finishes can be applied to a steel framed home as those applied to a wood framed home. 

Does steel framing interfere with radio and television reception? 

No. Waves pass through the spaces between the studs of your steel framed home, allowing the use of all household electronics without interference. 

Will steel framed homes rust? 

No. The use of zinc coating on the steel framing protects your steel framed home from corrosion for the life of the structure. 

Is it easy to hang pictures on steel framed walls? 

Yes. Lighter pictures can be hung in your steel framed home from the drywall with toggle bolts or hangers. Heavier objects are hung with screws attached directly into the steel studs, which are easily found with a magnet. 

Is a steel framed home safe in lightning storms?
