Metal Stud Framing

Metal stud framing, also known as light gauge steel framing, is a construction method that uses thin sheets of steel to create the structural frame of a building. It is commonly used in commercial and residential construction, as well as in interior partition walls and ceilings.


The steel studs are available in various sizes and gauges, and are used to create the framing for walls, floors, and ceilings. They are typically made of galvanized steel, which provides a strong, durable and rust-resistant frame. The studs are attached together using metal framing connectors, such as clips and straps, and are secured to the building's foundation using anchors.


One of the main benefits of metal stud framing is that it is lightweight, easy to handle and can be cut to size on site, which makes it ideal for both new constructions and renovations. It also offers better fire resistance than traditional wooden framing.


Another advantage of using metal studs is that they do not shrink, warp or rot like traditional wooden framing. It also does not require any special tools or equipment to work with.


The installation process of metal stud framing is relatively straightforward. First, the layout of the framing is marked on the floor, and then the studs are cut to the appropriate length. The studs are then attached to the floor and ceiling tracks, which are also made of steel, using metal framing connectors. The wall is then secured to the building's foundation using anchors. Once the framing is in place, the wall can be covered with drywall or other finishing materials.


Overall, metal stud framing is a popular choice for commercial and residential construction due to its strength, durability, and ease of installation. It is also cost-effective and offers a variety of benefits over traditional wooden framing.


Exterior Densglass

DensGlass is a brand of exterior sheathing, which is a type of building material that is used to cover the exterior of a building. It is made from a type of fiberglass mat gypsum that is designed to be highly moisture-resistant and durable. DensGlass is primarily used as an exterior sheathing in residential and commercial construction projects.


Exterior DensGlass is a type of sheathing that is specifically designed to be used on the outside of a building. It is made from a type of fiberglass mat gypsum that is coated with a water-resistant layer. This makes it highly moisture-resistant, which is important for protecting the building from the elements.


One of the main benefits of using DensGlass as exterior sheathing is its moisture resistance. The fiberglass mat and water-resistant coating create a barrier that helps to prevent water infiltration, which can cause damage to the building's structure and insulation. Additionally, it's fire-resistance, which makes it suitable for commercial buildings and other structures that need to meet fire codes.


Exterior DensGlass is typically installed by attaching it to the outside of the building's framing with screws, then covering it with a weather-resistant barrier and an exterior finish such as siding or stucco.


Overall, exterior DensGlass is a moisture-resistant and durable option for exterior sheathing that can provide added protection for a building from the elements and potential fire hazards.


Drywall

There are several types of drywall finishes that we offer, each with its own unique characteristics. Some of the most common types include:

  1. Smooth Finish: This is the most basic type of drywall finish, and is achieved by applying joint compound (also known as mud) to the drywall's seams and screw heads, then sanding the surface smooth. This type of finish is often used in residential properties and is suitable for areas that will be painted.
  2. Orange Peel Finish: This type of finish is achieved by spraying a fine mist of joint compound onto the drywall surface, creating a texture that resembles the skin of an orange. Orange peel finishes are popular in residential properties, as they can help to conceal imperfections in the drywall surface.
  3. Knockdown Finish: This type of finish is similar to an orange peel finish, but is achieved by splattering joint compound onto the drywall surface using a special tool, then smoothing it out with a trowel. This creates a textured surface that can help to conceal imperfections in the drywall surface.
  4. Hand-Troweled Finish: This type of finish is achieved by applying joint compound to the drywall surface using a trowel, then smoothing it out to create a smooth, even surface. Hand-troweled finishes are often used in commercial properties, as they provide a professional and polished look.
  5. Level 5 Finish: This is the highest quality drywall finish and it is used in commercial properties or high-end residential properties. This finish requires a high level of skill and experience. It is achieved by applying multiple coats of joint compound and sanding to a smooth finish. It is then sealed with a specialized sealant before being painted.

It's worth noting that some of the finishes can be combined together to achieve a desired look and feel.
