Load Bearing Members

The Steel Network is a manufacturer of light steel framing products which are designed to satisfy a variety of cold-formed steel framing applications, including load-bearing mid-rise construction systems. When combined, TSN’s optimized SigmaStud® and StiffWall® Shear Wall System deliver increased load capacity allowing structures to be built taller, lighter, faster, and stronger. The StiffWall® Shear Wall System uses one-third of the screws that other steel-framed shear walls utilize, and since the strap system is located on the outside of the wall it’s never been easier to facilitate electrical pipe work in the wall cavity. SigmaStud’s unique configuration provides installation and design advantages unlike any other light steel framing (LSF) load bearing wall stud, and is considered the most efficient light steel framing load-bearing stud member available in today’s market.
