How High Can You Construct a Building with Cold-Formed Steel Framing?

How High Can You Construct a Building with Cold-Formed Steel Framing?

Whether you are constructing a single-story building or a towering multi-story skyscraper, we offer the cutting-edge technology to meet your needs.

Check out this insightful article from the Steel Framing Industry Association (SFIA), which dives into the height potential of buildings constructed with cold-formed steel (CFS) framing. While traditional views suggest that CFS framing is limited to 4-5 stories, the SFIA Matsen Tower proves that these limits can be surpassed.

Designed by Matsen Ford Design Associates, the 40-story residential SFIA Matsen Tower showcases the impressive capabilities of CFS framing in high-rise construction. This landmark structure not only highlights the strength and versatility of CFS but also points to the exciting potential for even taller buildings in the future.

The article explores the tower’s design, its structural components, and the broader implications for urban development. It’s a testament to how innovative framing solutions can redefine what’s possible in construction.

With our expanded range of products, including depths from 1 to 12 inches and thicknesses from Ga. 25 to Ga. 12—now featuring Knudson by Scottsdale—we are ready to help elevate your projects to new heights.
