Conventional Wood Framing |
Serco SteelTM Galvanized Steel Framing |
Building Wall Pressure |
Solid mass (1-1/2″ thick) wood frame doesn’t yield as seal is compressed. Building damage may occur. |
Solid mass is replaced with compressible foam on steel frame. Less chance of building damage. |
Durability |
Susceptible to rotting, splitting, cracking and warping. |
No rotting, splitting, cracking and warping. |
Method of Cover Attachment |
Staples and nails rust and, over time, create weak spots in the wood. |
Plated TEK screws with load-spreading washers in steel provide stronger, more durable hold. |
