Tri-Chord Steel Systems, Inc.

Tri-Chord manufactures the most thermally efficient steel framing components available. Tri-Chord studs have the highest thermal, seismic, acoustic and fire ratings of all steel framing and will meet the thermal transference of wood. Tri-Chord Thermal Steel Studs are structural and will carry almost 7,000 lbs. per stud. The Tri-Chord Stud and Truss System were designed to minimize thermal bridging and contains 66-68% post-consumer recycled content. In profile, the studs and trusses have triangular sections at each edge and discrete webs spanning the wall cavity, instead of a solid heat-conducting steel web. 1 Hour Fire Rated on load bearing interior and exterior walls, extremely high STC & OITC Sound Ratings and Thermal Ratings also ICC validated (ESR 1158) We also manufacture floor trusses (CRS) that can span great distances due to the strength of our patented triangular profile.
