Using Light Gauge Steel Framing for Sunroom Enclosures
Light gauge steel studs can be used in framing any sunroom enclosure as well as patio roof covers. Light gauge steel is a “Green” material because 60% of it comes from recycle automobiles. Although steel cost more than wood it is more durable and provides many benefits such as: always straight, no twisting or splitting, none combustible, termites cannot eat it, stronger than wood, allows for accurate framing details. Also, the wood exterior sheathings can be replaced with cement board or with commercial exterior sheathings such as GP DensGlass Gold Gypsum sheathing.
