Labor Saving Solutions

Labor Saving Solutions

When we developed our extensive line of labor saving solutions, we did so with two key elements in mind: Provide cost-effective solutions that satisfy design and performance requirements and reduce installation time. By partnering with designers, engineers and installers, we were able to learn, understand and ultimately develop products and technologies that provide highly cost-effective solutions that satisfy building requirements. Many of our products were developed by or in conjunction with framing installers who wanted better, faster, and easier methods to get the job done. Discover how each of these products can help you build better, faster, and more profitably.

  • Better Acoustical Performance
  • Improved Fire Resistance
  • Greatly Reduces Screw Stripping
  • Faster, Easier and Safer
  • UL® Classified in Design V450
  • Stronger Load-Carrying Capacity
  • Greater Limiting Heights
  • Stiffer, More Rigid Construction
  • Easily Identifiable Pattern

Dietrich UltraSTEEL® Framing is already available throughout the southeast and will systematically be rolled out across North America as the other Dietrich manufacturing facilities convert to the UltraSTEEL® process.
