Metal Studs: Smooth, Dimpled, and High Performance. Must you choose? Recent innovations in the design and manufacturing of steel studs have produced studs that use less steel yet perform as well and better than traditional smooth-faced studs. Learn how to specify these new studs because minimum metal thickness is no longer a valid measure.

I enjoyed reading the technical tip on metal studs. We are a design-builder and have recently encountered some of the challenges with specifying the appropriate studs given the changes in the manufacturing processes of the from the smooth metal to the dimpled studs. I have spoken with Dietrich reps in recent weeks to gain further knowledge in the dimpled studs. Your piece was timely and appropriate and has provided us with insight in going forward in identifying and specifying metal studs.
