Metal Stud Framing Video

Dino Koukoudakis from Dino's Construction demonstrates some of the techniques used in framing with metal studs. He prefers them because they're lighter and never warp. They are also easy to cut and fasten with the right tools. Dino demonstrates how easy they are to line up and install along an exterior wall and the speed and ease with which a partition wall can be framed. It is simple and sturdy construction material that has a better tolerance for moisture than wood.
