Mega Floor Joist
Steelform’s Patented & Engineered Delta Metal Studs and Mega Steel Floor Joists are manufactured with the same geometric profile as conventional “C” profiles however, our state of the art designs with web stiffeners and punch outs provide unparalleled structural performance; up to 40% reduced weight, superior fire resistance in UL & ULC, amazing sound ratings, & unmatched thermal performance. The open web punched design provides built-in paths for installing conduit, plumbing and small HVAC duct. These punch outs remove approximately 90% of the web and trapezoid design directs heat, cold and sound, vastly reducing thermal bridging (the framing effect) which improves R Values by 37%.
