Framing. Dietrich UltraSTEEL®
Framing is a next-generation roll-forming technology that significantly
increases product performance, including greater load-carrying capacity,

Dietrich UltraSTEEL® Framing — Defined
Dietrich UltraSTEEL® Framing is an internationally patented method of
altering the characteristics of the base strip steel, providing higher
strength capacity from lighter gauge material. The process effectively
work-hardens the steel with two mating rolls. During the process, the
effective thickness of the material is increased to that of the original
thickness, plus the depth of the ribbing.

the Difference
Dietrich UltraSTEEL® Framing isn’t just something you can feel — it’s
something you can see. The dimpled material provides a more easily
identifiable product. Over the years, a number of manufacturers have
duplicated or produced very similar products — so similar that only
a skilled professional could tell them apart. As a result, it was very
hard to determine which material was being used.
Dietrich UltraSTEEL® Framing has an easily identifiable pattern that
clearly identifies the Dietrich brand and ensures product performance
and specification compliance.
