Metal studs are commonly used in construction instead of traditional wood studs for framing gypsum board installations. They are durable, resist warping and pests, making them suitable for areas with moisture or termite concerns. Metal studs come in various sizes and gauges for different construction needs, including interior partitions, load-bearing walls, and some exterior applications. Although the initial cost may be slightly higher than wood, metal studs can save on labor and installation expenses due to their efficiency. They are known for quick and straightforward installation, contributing to overall cost-effectiveness in construction projects.
