What materials are used for framing drywall?
A ceiling framing for drywall is different from a wall. Sheetrock framing can be done with either steel or wood. While wood is often used for home restorations and commercial construction, steel is more commonly used.
Nevertheless, this is changing as steel becomes more widely available and preferred in residential construction. Steel doesn't split, decay, or attract termites and will never catch fire. It's also moisture resistant, making it great for a framed basement wall or bathroom. While steel has numerous advantages over wood, it's more challenging to manage and install. Furthermore, it's also more complicated to shape and cut since specific saws are needed.
The most common framing material is wood. Wood is easier to cut and shape and can support a lot more weight. Wood is also cheaper, making it more affordable. Wood is susceptible to moisture and humidity damage, so it might not be recommended for a basement framed.
