3 Must-Have Structural Steel & Framing Supplies

October 28, 2024

Here at State Building Products, we work hard to ensure that all of our products are not just reliable, but built to last. We do this because we take pride in our work, and because we know that Americans use our steel every day to build their homes, community centers, and businesses.

For all these reasons and more, we know that when you buy framing supplies for a construction project, you’re making an investment in your community.

In this month’s blog post, we’re spotlighting 3 must-have structural steel and framing supplies for your new construction.

1. The SBP Structural Steel Framing System

We’re very proud of our structural steel framing here at SBP. In fact, we’d say that our signature structural steel framing system vastly outperforms wood framing in nearly every sense. If that seems like a bold claim to you, then just hang on, because we have the facts to back it up:

Increased Resilience, Reduced Weight. Wood is bulky, heavy, and unwieldy, and that’s not even the end of its problems. Compared to steel, wood is still much less resilient despite its incredible heft.

Wind and Fire Resistance. While wood is famously capable of catching fire before or during construction, structural steel framing supplies are much more resistant. You’d probably have better luck setting fire to an iron nail.

Pest Prevention. While wood makes a perfect home for pests both microscopic and mammalian, steel is practically inhospitable to most pests. That said, structural steel does have one disadvantage compared to wood—you won’t be able to feed your termites!

2. SBP Metal Stud Framing

In addition to our steel framing system, we also offer top-of-the-line header and jamb stud framing. This metal stud frame not only shares many of the same benefits as our other steel framing supplies, but it also eliminates the need for built-up jambs and box headers. So, when you use SBP’s metal stud framing, you’ll not only guarantee a longer lifespan on your build, but also reduced labor and supply costs.

3. ProSTUD® Framing Supplies

Our ProSTUD® framing supplies are perfect for providing greater limiting heights for all of your projects. The ProSTUD® provides a wide range of essential advantages for your build, such as:

  • High strength steel with low-profile flange stiffening grooves
  • Diamond embossed webbing to increase resilience

  • Advanced sound performance (tested in over 50 sound assemblies)
