Structural Steel Framing Systems

UMS structural framing systems are cold-formed steel (CFS) members for load-bearing walls, floor assemblies and exterior wall systems. Roll-formed from galvanized structural steel, they offer a high strength-to-weight ratio, tight dimensional tolerances and long-term corrosion protection.


The range covers structural and curtain wall studs, jamb studs, floor joist studs, structural and slotted tracks, floor joist tracks, cold rolled channel and exterior furring channel. Studs and tracks are available in 33 ksi and 50 ksi steel with G60 or G90 coating and are evaluated under ICC-ES ESR-5905, giving engineers published section properties and allowable loads.


From mid-rise residential and commercial buildings to multi-story projects, UMS structural framing is non-combustible, straight and fast to install. Members can be supplied cut to length to reduce site waste and keep projects on schedule.
