Latest in Steel Framing ‘How To’ Series Focuses on Interior Walls

Headquartered at the National Housing Center in Washington, D.C., the Steel Framing Alliance is a member of the National Council of the Housing Industry — the Supplier 100 of NAHB.

“How to Build with Steel: Interior Walls” is an illustrated, four-page brochure that covers basic steel-framing stud and track details, reviews tools and fasteners, and outlines the nine steps for stick-built steel-framed construction. Its publication follows “How to Get Started with Steel: Tools,” an easy-to-follow guide that explains the five critical steps to working with steel and provides illustrations and descriptions of the tools that are needed.

The "How To" series is based on the National Training Curriculum, which is the authoritative educational guide for framing with steel.

Upcoming guides in the series that are expected to be available in the near future include “How to Work with Steel Framing for Plumbers” and “How to Work with Steel Framing for Electricians.”

The “How To” series can be downloaded from the alliance’s Web site, and it is free to members of that organization.

The Steel Framing Alliance is an association of more than 400 companies and organizations with the mission of making it possible for steel framing to be used widely in residential and commercial construction. It provides education, publications, technical support, research and development, and market development programs to companies representing the full spectrum of manufacturing, construction, design, distribution and professional services.
