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.

Advantages of Steel Fastening
Steel fastening offers numerous advantages in the manufacturing of mobile homes. Firstly, steel fasteners provide exceptional strength and durability, ensuring that the various components of the home remain securely attached. This is particularly important for mobile homes, as they are subject to constant movement and transportation. Steel fasteners also have excellent resistance to corrosion, which is essential for mobile homes that may be exposed to different weather conditions. Additionally, steel fasteners are easy to install and require minimal maintenance, saving both time and money in the long run.

Understanding Light Gauge Steel Framing
Light gauge steel framing is a construction method that uses thin steel sheets to create a framework for buildings. It is an alternative to traditional wood framing and offers several advantages. Understanding the basics of light gauge steel framing can help you make informed decisions for your construction projects.
Light gauge steel framing involves the use of cold-formed steel sections that are lightweight but strong. These steel sections are typically made from galvanized steel, which is resistant to corrosion and offers excellent durability. The steel sections are assembled using screws, bolts, or welding, depending on the specific design requirements. ET&F® (a Beck brand) has many fastening options for light gauge steel construction. Let’s explore some of the benefits of building with light gauge steel.

Enhanced Durability and Longevity
Concrete is known for its exceptional durability and longevity, making it an ideal choice for commercial builds. Unlike other construction materials, concrete can withstand heavy loads and extreme weather conditions without deteriorating. This means that your commercial building will remain structurally sound for many years, reducing the need for frequent repairs and maintenance. Additionally, the longevity of concrete can contribute to the overall value of your property, as it provides a solid foundation for long-term investment.
In addition to its durability, concrete also offers enhanced resistance to wear and tear. It can withstand high traffic areas, heavy machinery, and constant use, making it a reliable choice for commercial spaces such as warehouses, factories, and retail stores. With concrete, you can have peace of mind knowing that your building will stand the test of time and continue to serve your business needs effectively. Using the ET&F® (a BECK brand) Aerico® 90 System for your commercial build will secure your peace of mind!

Some jobs are harder than others, and as a builder, you probably have a few jobs on your list of least favorite things to do. For many builders, those least favorite jobs include driving fasteners into steel and concrete. When you’re working with wood, drywall, or other, softer materials, you can leverage nail guns to make it quick and easy to drive fasteners. Where steel and concrete are concerned, however, it often requires a lot of time and hard work.
Below, we’ll explore the difficulties you’ll face when using traditional fasteners with these materials. We’re also going to show you a better way to fasten to steel and concrete: The ET&F® (a BECK member) Model 710 fastening system, which is designed for steel and concrete—and offers the same ease of use that you’d get from a nail gun.
