Do you frame door and window openings in Matt Berry?

Yes — spec-framed rough openings are built into the Matt Berry layout.

Do you frame door and window openings in Matt Berry?

Yes — Balwin, Bannerman, Belmont rough openings are framed to spec as part of the wall layout.

Why use steel studs instead of wood?

They arrive straight and stay straight — no warping with humidity, no shrinking, no twisting a finished wall out of plane later. That matters most on long runs, tall walls and where the finish level is high.

Do you frame basement development layouts in Matt Berry?

Yes — we frame Matt Berry basements to plan constantly — ready for insulation and drywall. We also cover Balwin, Bannerman, Belmont and Northeast.

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.

Is steel framing more expensive?

Often competitive on material and faster to set out on a large straight run. On small irregular Matt Berry jobs with lots of backing and odd angles, wood is usually quicker and cheaper. We price what suits the job.

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 Matt Berry 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.

Sound behaviour of steel walls

Actually an advantage

Steel studs are less rigid than wood and transmit vibration less efficiently, so a steel-framed Matt Berry 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.
