FAQs About a Steel Framed Home

Will a steel-framed home look different from other homes in a community?
No. Your steel framed home will look just like any other home. The same exterior finishes can be applied to a steel-framed home as those applied to a wood-framed home.

Does steel framing interfere with electronic signals?
No. Waves pass through the spaces between the studs of NexFrame panels and trusses, allowing the use of all electronic transmissions without interference.

Will a steel-framed home rust?
No. The use of zinc coating on the steel framing protects your NexFrame steel-framed home from corrosion for the life of the structure.

Is it easy to hang pictures on steel-framed walls?
Yes. Lighter pictures can be hung in your NexFrame steel-framed home from the drywall with toggle bolts or hangers. Heavier objects are hung with screws attached directly into the steel studs, which are easily found with a magnet.

Is a steel-framed home safe in lightning storms?
Yes. Your NexFrame steel-framed home actually affords more protection for your family in case of a lightning strike. It provides a path for the lightning to the ground, reducing the likelihood of explosions or secondary damage.

Can a steel-framed home be remodeled?
