Can you coordinate with my Lorelei electrician and plumber?

Yes — we sequence Albany, Athlone, Baranow framing so your other trades can rough in cleanly before insulation and drywall go on.

Do you also do the drywall after framing in Lorelei?

Yes — we frame and drywall Albany, Athlone, Baranow projects as one job with one point of responsibility, or frame only for your own crew.

Can you mix steel and wood?

Yes, and often that is the right answer — steel for the long straight partition runs, wood where cabinets, vanities or grab bars are going. We would rather explain the mix than sell one material for everything.

Do you coordinate Lorelei framing with electricians and plumbers?

Yes — trades rough in cleanly because the Lorelei framing is sequenced for them, ahead of insulation and drywall.

Do you stand behind your framing work in Lorelei?

Yes. We check every Albany, Athlone, Baranow layout is square before we hand it off, and if something is not right we come back and make it right.

Does a steel wall count as fire-rated?

No. Steel is non-combustible, which is why it appears in many rated assemblies, but a rating comes from the whole specified system — stud spacing, board type, layers and joint treatment. We build to the assembly on the drawings.

Metal Stud Framing Lorelei Edmonton | Steel Studs

Metal stud framing in Lorelei, square and ready for drywall

Our Lorelei metal stud framing process in Edmonton, step by step

Layout first

We lay out track lines on the floor and ceiling from the plan or your walk-through direction, confirming every wall location before a single stud goes up in your Lorelei space.

Frame square and plumb

We install track, cut and set the studs to spacing, and check every wall for square and plumb as we go — the framing stage is where a crooked wall gets built or avoided. See our basement drywall work in Lorelei once the frame is up.

Framing for basements and openings in Lorelei

Basement development layouts

A basement development layout is the most common metal stud job we do in Albany, Athlone, Baranow — framing bedrooms, bathrooms, a media room or a legal suite to the plan, ready for insulation and drywall.

Openings and bulkheads

We frame partition walls and bulkheads to hide ductwork and provide a clean, level surface for the ceiling and lighting trades.

Backing in a steel wall

Plan it, because you cannot improvise

You cannot simply screw a heavy fixing into a steel stud web and trust it. Backing plates or wood blocking have to be built in where anything is being hung.

Ask before it closes

TV mounts, cabinets, grab bars, shelving, handrails. In an Lorelei steel wall this is more important than in wood, because there is no fallback of hitting a stud.

Sound behaviour of steel walls

Actually an advantage

Steel studs are less rigid than wood and transmit vibration less efficiently, so a steel-framed Lorelei partition often performs slightly better acoustically than the same wall in wood.

Do not over-claim it

The difference is real but modest. If sound is the goal, the assembly — insulation, layers and sealing — matters far more than the stud material.

Fire performance and rated assemblies

Non-combustible

Steel does not burn, which is why it appears in many rated assemblies. That does not make a steel wall rated on its own.

The assembly is what counts

A rated Lorelei wall is a specified system — stud type and spacing, board type and layers, joint treatment. We build to the assembly on the drawings rather than assuming steel gives a rating by itself.
