Light Guage Steel Framing Product Spec Sheet

The american iron and steel institute committee on framing standards has developed this code of standard practice for cold formed steel structural framing code of standard practice to address trade practices for design fabrication and installation of formed steel structural cold framing products.

Light guage steel framing product spec sheet.

For over 40 years our commitment to innovation in cold formed steel also known as light gauge steel precision manufacturing uncompromising quality and exemplary customer service have defined the howick way. Is manufactured from light gauge steel meetings the requirements of astm a653 02a or equal. From advice on floor and wall build ups to a complete detailing service our expert technical team is here to ensure each steel standalone structure offers optimal performance according to. Offering light but robust design of all components makes our steel framing solution ideal for housing projects with particular delivery requirements.

No longer just studs tracks and headers. 54mil 16ga 68mil 14ga and 97mil 12ga products are produced with 50ksi steel unless otherwise noted. 33mil 20ga and 43mil 18ga framing products are produced with 33ksi steel. The sections can be made available in 3 m 4 m 5 m and 6 m standard lengths.

Light gauge steel framing systems are made from 55 al zn alloy coated zincalume steel az150 g550 550 mpa minimum yield strength complying with as 1397 and is 15961. In addition to angles steeler offers hemming on most 25 gauge products such as sound resilient. Cp60 g90 available additional member depths of 7 1 4 9 1 4 11 1 2 13 1 2 and 14 are also available. This is in contrast to thicker hot rolled sections that are shaped while the steel is molten hot.

Light gauge steel construction is very similar to wood framed construction in principle the wooden framing members are replaced with thin steel sections. Howick is a pioneer in the technology of precision light steel roll forming machines. Typical uses for hemmed angle include bridging bracing blocking and other situations that would require light gauge angles. Length of up to 12 m can be made available on request.

Quality products and service based on years of experience in the building component industry. Cross section of zincalume steel. Your source for light gauge steel truss systems. We see what the future for walls holds and we are acting on it with steel framing products that perform as a system backed by intelligent design tools and fully capable engineering services.

The steel sections used here are called cold formed sections meaning that the sections are formed or given shape at room temperature.
