Downloadable PDF
Metallic-coated steel framing has many advantages over competitive building materials in load-bearing residential buildings. While these advantages include a higher strength-to-weight ratio, non-combustibility and improved dimensional stability, the purpose of this document, created by The GalvInfo Center, is to provide an introduction to the durability and service life of metallic-coated steel framing. Along with short descriptions of the products used to manufacture steel framing, summary information on durability is provided along with links to more in-depth reports and data, including expected service life.
