Can I hang a TV on a steel-framed wall?

Only with backing built in. You cannot trust a heavy fixing into a steel stud web. Tell us before the wall closes and we add backing plates or blocking — there is no fallback of hitting a stud like there is in wood.

Can you coordinate with my Queen Alexandra electrician and plumber?

Yes — we sequence Queen Alexandra framing so your other trades can rough in cleanly before insulation and drywall go on.

Do you stand behind your framing work in Queen Alexandra?

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

Do you frame door and window openings in Queen Alexandra?

Yes — spec-framed rough openings are built into the Queen Alexandra layout.

Do you frame basement development layouts in Queen Alexandra?

Yes — we frame Queen Alexandra basements to plan constantly — ready for insulation and drywall. We also cover Allendale, Argyll, Belgravia and Scona.

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.

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 Queen Alexandra steel wall this is more important than in wood, because there is no fallback of hitting a stud.

Gauge, and why it is not all the same steel

Thickness matters

Interior non-load-bearing partitions use a lighter gauge than walls carrying weight or spanning tall. Using the lightest available everywhere gives walls that feel flimsy and telegraph movement.

What we specify

Gauge to suit the wall height and what the wall has to carry. In an Queen Alexandra basement with an 8-foot ceiling that is straightforward; a tall stairwell wall is not.
