Steel Framing is a method of steel profiles used to build all kinds of constructions with maximum quality and in record time.
Thinking of a project without bricks is no longer a utopia but a possibility in today's construction world. Steel Framing ('Frame' as structural skeleton and 'Steel' for its raw material, galvanized steel of the profiles) is an open building system because it can be applied to any projects, indoors and outdoors, with all kinds of finishes.
Headings. It avoids idle times and several guilds can work simultaneously.
'One of the main advantages of the system is the flexibility of the design, in the sense that it enables to materialize any projects, from the simplest ones like a simple-family house to other more complex buildings with several floor,' comments Paula Ale, JMA Sales Manager. And she adds: 'As it does not require wet work, the system is ideal for projects planned in stages, even for the extension of a traditional construction.'
MARQ pavilion. In the extension of the museum of architecture work's schedules were reduced dramatically.
Another key factor of the system is the interior comfort it offers. The use of thermal and acoustic insulation makes this kind of construction suitable for any kind of weather and use, reducing significantly the cost of energy for heating and air conditioning. For instance, a wall made with Steel Framing which includes 10cm wide glass wool provides roughly 14 times more thermal resistance than ordinary 15cm brick masonry and almost 7.5 more times than one made of hollow brick.
'Such comfort provisions do not determine further delays in the construction but on the contrary. The work's schedule is reduced dramatically with respect to the traditional construction because a great deal of tasks can be performed at the same time once the structure has been assembled,' says Daniel Ostapovich, Media Officer at Pradecon.
MARQ pavilion. Steel framing minimizes construction waste.
Following the same line, Martín Muratore, in charge of the Technical Area of the AD Barbieri Marketing Department, remarks: 'It is not necessary either to build walls that will then be broken down to allow installations or to wait for the plaster to dry. The speed of completion enables a quick return of invested capital, making this kind of construction especially attractive for investors.'
Coatings. It can be applied to any projects, indoors and outdoors, with all kinds of finishes.
5 reasons to think about building with steel:
Flexibility in the project
Energy saving due to thermal comfort
Speed of implementation
More efficient costs and maximum reduction of waste
Quality of finishes with strength and durability guarantee

Ternium S.A. is a producer of steel products. The Company produces finished and semi-finished steel products and iron ore, which are sold either directly to steel manufacturers, steel processors or end users. The Company operates through two segments: Steel and Mining. The Steel segment includes the sales of steel products and the Mining segment includes the sales of iron ore products, which are primarily inter-company. The Steel segment comprises three operating segments: Mexico, the Southern Region and Other Markets. In the steel segment, steel products include slabs, billets and round bars (steel in its basic, semi-finished state), hot-rolled coils and sheets, bars and stirrups, wire rods, cold-rolled coils and sheets, tin plate, hot dipped galvanized and electrogalvanized sheets and pre-painted sheets, steel pipes and tubular products, beams, roll-formed products, and other products. In the mining segment, iron ore is sold as concentrates (fines) and pellets.
