Metal Stud

In Plain English

Steel framing members used to build interior partition walls in commercial construction.

Definition

Metal studs are cold-formed steel framing members used to construct non-load-bearing interior partition walls and exterior framing systems in commercial construction. They are lighter than wood, dimensionally stable, non-combustible, and not susceptible to rot or insect damage. Metal stud framing is the standard wall framing system in most commercial buildings.
