Light Guage Steel
Light-gauge steel is being used more often these days
to replace wood studs for framing a house. The cost is comparable to
wood, and much of the steel is recycled. Steel is actually stronger
and lighter than wood, and is termite and fire proof. Also the use of steel conserves our forest resources.
