•Get the Basics Right: The Classic “C” Stud. A steel framing system begins with steel studs and track. What started as an easier-to-use and more durable replacement for wood studs is now a fixture in the commercial building industry and an up-and-comer on the residential front. Steeler has been manufacturing steel studs for over 40 years, and with that experience comes a time-tested level of quality, knowledge and service. •Steeler steel studs are offered in Elite, traditional, and structural thicknesses. •Our steel studs meet or exceed ASTM A370, A1003, C754, E90, and E119; Steeler structural steel studs meet or exceed C955, while non-structural members meet or exceed C645. Steeler steel studs may be used in any fire & sound rating assembly that calls for "Generic" studs & track. Members 33ES (Elite) or 033 (traditional) and thicker are engineered to be load bearing and thus structural.
