      During a value engineering review, a project team considered switching internal partitions to steel framing. What fire safety considerations must be addressed when using SFS wall systems?

      Steel framing systems offer speed and flexibility, but fire resistance depends entirely on correct detailing. Board thickness, fixing methods, insulation type, and junctions all influence performance. On several projects, fire ratings were compromised due to incorrect substitutions or poor coordination between trades. Technical resources related to SFS Walls explain how these systems achieve compliance when installed correctly. Understanding these principles early allows designers and contractors to avoid last-minute redesigns and maintain consistent fire performance across the building.
