Track, studs and how the wall goes together

Different system entirely

Steel framing is track at floor and ceiling with studs inserted and fastened, rather than plates and nails.

Why layout is faster

The track is set to the line first, so the wall position is fixed before a single stud goes in. On a large North Glenora layout that makes setting out quicker and more accurate than stick framing.

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 North Glenora 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.

Where steel beats wood in an North Glenora build

Straightness that stays

Steel studs arrive straight and stay straight. They do not warp with humidity, do not shrink as they dry, and do not twist a finished wall out of plane a year later.

Where it matters most

Long partition runs, tall walls and anywhere the finish level is high. In a basement or a shop the moisture and rot resistance matter as well.
