Structural Framing
Load-bearing CFS framing for mid-rise, modular, and the rest of the structural envelope. Heavy and light gauge, AISI S240 territory.
Structural Cold-Formed Steel Framing
Structural cold-formed steel framing (AISI S240 / ASTM C955) carries the load — heavier gauge (10 through 20 ga), wider web (2-1/2" to 16"), and higher yield (Grade 50 to Grade 70) than drywall framing. The buyer is a structural manufacturer building for mid-rise, hotel, multifamily, and modular construction, where the steel actually carries weight.
TEKFAB built two lines for this market: the Heavy Gauge and Light Gauge Structural Roll Forming Lines. Both run the full SSMA structural envelope with servo-controlled gauging as standard; the heavy gauge platform adds AntiFlare end-flare control.
What sets a structural line apart from a drywall line is more pass stations, heavier drive trains, and tighter cut-length tolerance — the field installer attaches a clip and bolts the stud to slab and deck. The line that holds tolerance from coil to bundle is the line that doesn't have parts rejected on site.
TEKFAB experience
