Understanding the Basics of Steel Framing

Steel framing is a popular choice in modern construction due to its durability, strength, and resistance to environmental factors like termites and rot. Unlike traditional wood framing, steel framing uses a network of steel components to create the structure of a building.

Understanding the basics of steel framing involves knowing the different types of steel members, such as studs, tracks, and joists, as well as the methods for joining them together. This knowledge is crucial for ensuring the structural integrity of your project.

Understanding the Basics of Subflooring

Subflooring is a crucial component of any flooring system, providing the support structure beneath your finished floor. It acts as a buffer between the floor covering and the joists, ensuring stability and durability. Understanding the basics of subflooring, including its purpose and types, is essential for a successful installation.

There are several types of subflooring materials, such as plywood, oriented strand board (OSB), and concrete. Each material has its own set of advantages and is suited for different applications. Knowing when and where to use these materials can significantly impact the overall quality of your flooring project. Regardless of the materials you use, using the correct fasteners, such as the SCRAIL® SUBLOC® PRO nail screw fasteners by BECK, will also have a high impact on the finished floor.

Commercial and Industrial Construction What Sets Them Apart?

Posted by Brett McCutcheon on Sep 23, 2023 7:15:00 AM

Construction falls into several different categories. Residential, infrastructure, commercial, and industrial are the biggest. Residential construction is obvious: Homes, multi-family units, apartment buildings, and so on. Infrastructure is pretty simple, too. That category covers everything from roads and bridges to airports, water, wastewater systems, and more.

But what’s the difference between commercial and industrial construction? Here, things are a little less clear.

We’re going to explain what separates commercial and industrial construction. We’re also going to talk about the Aerico® 90 Strip Nailer, which is a tool made to drive collated pins into steel and concrete—two common materials that are often worked with in both commercial and industrial construction.
