Intro

The traditional choice of materials for framing houses is wood. In commercial construction steel
framing is the norm, largely because steel studs are inherently fire-resistant. Steel framing,
however, is gradually catching on with home remodelers. It has some real advantages over wood:
It is lightweight, inexpensive, and strong. In addition, it won't rot, shrink, or warp (steel framing
is ideal for framing walls in a basement, where moisture can create problems).
Walls framed with steel are built in place, one piece at a time. The primary fastener is a sheet
metal screw; the primary tools are a drill/driver and metal snips.

Step 1
Lay out both sides of the wall on the floor with chalklines. For a concrete floor predrill 1/8-inch
holes and attach the track with masonry screws. Use pan-head sheet metal screws for a wood
floor.

Step 2
Transfer the layout from the floor to the ceiling with a plumb bob (you can use a chalkline). If
your wall runs parallel to the joists, install blocking to provide an anchor point. Screw the track
to the joists with pan-head sheet metal screws.

Step 3
To splice two lengths of track together, cut a 2-inch slit in the center of one piece's web and
compress opposite flanges slightly as you slide the pieces together. For corners remove the
flange from one of the pieces and overlap the webs as shown in the illustration on slide one.

Step 4
Lay out the stud locations on the top and bottom tracks. Cut the studs to length and stand them in
the tracks. Friction will hold them in place while you check them for plumb. Fasten them with
short pan-head sheet metal screws.

Step 5
Make doorway headers from lengths of track. Cut the flanges at 45 degrees and bend down the
web to form a right angle. The bent part should be about 1-1/2 to 2 inches long. Attach the header
with a single screw driven through each of the four resulting tabs.

Add plywood blocking

If you will be hanging cabinets or trim on a wall that's framed with metal studs, install pieces of
3/4-inch plywood between the studs to provide a surface to screw into. You can insert 2x4s into
headers and studs at door openings to provide a surface for attaching doorjambs.

Fastening metal framing

Metal framing requires a variety of specific screws. Panhead sheet metal screws 1/2 inch long are
used for fastening metal pieces. These screws can also be used to attach the track to a wooden
floor and ceiling joists. If the ceiling is already covered with drywall, use 1-1/4-inch-long screws
to reach through the drywall into the joists. Drywall screws 1-1/4 inches long are used for
attaching drywall to metal studs. Attach trim with 1-1/2-inch (or longer) trimhead screws; their
small-diameter heads countersink neatly, making it easy to fill the resulting holes. To fasten
metal track to a concrete floor, use power-actuated fasteners or concrete screws. The poweractuated fasteners are fired from a nail gun you can rent. Use a No. 3 load with a 1/2- or 5/8-inch
pin.
