Compared to conventional framing systems, CFS trusses and panel walls offer significant advantages for architects, developers, and contractors / builders.
Cold-Formed Steel Trusses Cold-formed steel (CFS) trusses are among the most efficient systems in mid-rise and multi-family construction.
Cold-formed steel (CFS) trusses, also known as light gauge steel trusses, are made from high-quality sheet steel that is fashioned into different shapes by roll forming, or the continuous bending of long strips of sheet metal. CFS can be formed into various steel thicknesses and are fabricated in a manufacturing plant using screws, bolts or welds. Cold-formed steel trusses are used in all aspects of construction: commercial, residential, educational, manufacturing and hospitality.

Performance and Lifecycle of CFS Trusses
“Overall, framing and trusses represent approximately 20 percent of the total cost of construction, so any
incremental additional initial cost from using CFS trusses is a minimal increase to owners. However,
when you factor in the costs resulting from wood shrinkage, rot, infestation, creep deflection, and other
maintenance issues, CFS trusses and framing prove beneficial to an owner’s bottom line through the
entire lifecycle of a building. CFS trusses reduce callbacks on projects because
they start straighter and remain straighter than many other types of trusses. The dimensional stability of
steel also reduces drywall fastener pops, which means that interiors need far less maintenance and repairs.
This adds up to big savings in multi-family and midrise commercial structures, where too frequent repairs
become highly disruptive for occupants.” By BuildSteel Magazine
