Is steel framing more expensive?

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

Do you stand behind your framing work in Steinhauer?

Yes. We check every Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill 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 Steinhauer?

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

Do you frame door and window openings in Steinhauer?

Yes — Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill rough openings are framed to spec as part of the wall layout.

Do you frame basement development layouts in Steinhauer?

Yes — framing an Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill basement layout to plan, ready for insulation and drywall, is among our most common metal stud jobs. We also cover Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill and Whitemud.

Is steel better for soundproofing?

Slightly, because steel is less rigid and transmits vibration less efficiently than wood. The difference is real but modest — the assembly, insulation and sealing matter 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 Steinhauer 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.

Steinhauer drywall in context

About Steinhauer

The neighbourhood is named for Henry Bird Steinhauer, a missionary who settled in Alberta during the mid-1800s (and from whom the family of the former Lieutenant Governor takes its name).

What we see in Steinhauer

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

Framing for basements and openings in Steinhauer

Basement development layouts
