Steel Stud Framing:Adding non-weight bearing walls? Use metal stud frmaing. Metal framing is a quick and cost effective choice over regular wood studs and has many advantages such as: Mold & Termite Resistant:Mold and Termite damage is a thing of the past with metal frame construction. It's simply not a food for insects and pests, so they aren't attracted to it. Likewise, it doesn't harbor the moisture that mold and mildew need to exist and spread. Fire Resistant: Where wood is extremely combustible, steel is not. When it gets hot enough it loses its tensile integrity and can turn into “spaghetti”, but the important consideration is that it won't contribute fuel to a home fire.
