Buy metal studs in Missouri

Steel Stud and Track for St. Louis, Kansas City, Springfield, and Statewide

Framers, drywall contractors, and builders across Missouri can buy metal studs direct from The Formetal Company, a USA-owned steel stud and track manufacturer making cold-formed steel framing since 1959. Whether you need drywall studs for a tenant build-out in St. Louis, structural steel studs for a curtain wall in Kansas City, or metal track for a school in Springfield, we’ll quote it and ship it to your job site.

Because we make our own steel stud and track, you buy from the source instead of paying a middleman. Check current numbers on our Steel Stud & Track Pricing page or build a fast estimate with the Metal Stud Pricing Calculator. To learn more about who we are, visit our About page.

Why Metal Framing Works in Missouri

  • Handles hot summers and freezing winters. Steel studs don’t shrink, swell, twist, or warp, so walls stay straight and drywall stays flat through Missouri’s weather swings.
  • Won’t burn, rot, or feed termites. Steel framing is non-combustible and doesn’t support mold.
  • Made for commercial work. From medical offices in Columbia to warehouses along I-70, metal stud framing is the standard for fire-rated and commercial walls.
  • Installs faster. Order studs cut to your wall height and cut down on labor.
  • 100% recyclable. Steel framing is a solid fit for green building projects.

 

Building in Southeast Missouri? The New Madrid Seismic Zone runs through the Bootheel, so the engineer on your job may call for heavier structural studs and specific connectors. Send us the framing schedule and we’ll quote it to spec.
