STEEL FRAMING
Steel frame systems enable architectural and design flexibility that is cost efficient, sustainable, durable, and safe with exceptional resistance to fire, corrosion and pests. Steel framing lasts longer, is light and easy to transport and has been proven to withstand severe bush fire temperatures of more than 1000°C. It has a structural integrity that means it stays straight, true and most importantly, safe. If you require a higher caliber of framing than Wood Framing, then be sure to contact Geba Interiors today and we can help you out.
THE RIGHT MATERIALS FOR THE JOB
Whatever your framing needs, nothing beats the safety, flexibility and speed of construction of quality steel framing and installers who know the product.
Stud and track light-gauge. Heavy-gauge 10-inch steel beams for exterior framing. Lengths of 8 to 24 feet and longer. Geba sources only the highest quality, locally-manufactured steel that adheres to local manufacturing standards and building codes. All of the steel you’ll find in our applications is manufactured in Canada. We also work with the highest quality clips and fasteners needs to build a structurally sound wall.

THE BENEFITS OF STEEL
-
- Durable: Metal studs are impervious to fire, termites, rot, splitting, and any other number of hazards which can affect any kind of organic-based building material–namely, wood.
- Predictable: Unlike wood, which can arrive warped, twisted, or bent, steel studs (unless damaged) always arrive perfectly straight.
- Cost Effective: While never as cheap as wood studs, steel studs are cost-competitive.
- Light: Steel studs are lighter to carry and store than wood because they are hollow inside.
- Good for Problem Areas: Since they are impervious to moisture, steel studs work well in bathrooms and water-prone basements.
Unparalleled Curves
Steel framing allows you to get creative with your walls! Curves are easier to achieve, more consistent and of higher strength than conventional wood applications. For commercial projects, curves allow architects to showcase their imagination and design structural masterpieces. We put them together.
Strength Beyond Belief
Just like steel beams that allow you to remove walls, framing with steel necessitates little to no vertical structural support, allowing you to create open spaces that are contemporary, functional and beautiful.
Another advantage of steel is prefabricated members and panels make it easier than ever when you’re ready to add-on to your building.
Steel framing can even withstand a fair share of seismic activity and is required on the west coast and other earthquake-prone areas for buildings that are three-stories or taller.
