Buy metal studs in Kentucky

Steel Stud and Track for Louisville, Lexington, Northern Kentucky, and Statewide

Kentucky contractors can buy metal studs direct from The Formetal Company, a USA-owned manufacturer that has been making steel stud and track since 1959. We ship cold-formed steel framing to job sites from Paducah to Pikeville.

Louisville’s distribution and logistics growth, Lexington’s healthcare and university work, and new construction in Bowling Green and Northern Kentucky all need framing that shows up right the first time. Get USA-made drywall studs, structural steel studs, and metal track at manufacturer-direct pricing. See our Steel Stud & Track Pricing or try the Metal Stud Pricing Calculator.

Why Metal Framing Works in Kentucky

• Handles freeze-thaw and humidity. Steel studs won’t shrink, swell, or twist through Kentucky’s seasons.
• Non-combustible. Metal stud framing is the standard for fire-rated walls in schools, hospitals, and offices.
• Termite-proof and mold-resistant. Nothing in a steel wall to rot or feed pests.
• Built for warehouses and storage. Tall walls and fast schedules favor steel — see our storage facility metal stud framing page.
• Faster installs. Custom-cut lengths cut labor and scrap.

USA-Made Steel Stud and Track for Kentucky

Every steel stud and track we sell is manufactured at our plant in Forest Park, Georgia. Our full line of light gauge steel framing includes:

• Drywall metal studs and track (non-structural) for interior walls, soffits, and ceilings, including our 20GA EQ stud
• Structural steel studs and track for curtain walls, load-bearing walls, and tall partitions
• Gauges from 25 gauge through 10 gauge, in web depths from 1-5/8″ to 12″
• Custom lengths up to 56 feet, cut to your wall heights so your crew isn’t cutting on site
