Metal Stud Framer Job Description

A metal stud framer is a carpenter who builds on metal studs.

Metal studs are rectangular pieces of metal that act as supports for plasterboard (drywall).

Besides acting as a support for plasterboard, metal studs are also used for walls, ceilings, and roofs.

Metal studs are welded together to form a solid frame.

Metal studs are usually used to build frames for rooms, but they can also be used as braces for stairs or as support for beams.

Metal studs are scored with a knife and then bent to allow carpenters to cut them to the desired length.
