USA-Made Galvanized Steel Stud and Track for Nassau, Grand Bahama, Abaco, and the Out Islands

Contractors, developers, and builders across the Bahamas buy metal studs direct from The Formetal Company, a USA-owned steel stud and track manufacturer making cold-formed steel framing since 1959. We quote steel stud and track, framing accessories, and connectors for projects on New Providence, Grand Bahama, and the Family Islands.

Resorts on Paradise Island, homes and villas in Exuma and Eleuthera, rebuilding on Abaco and Grand Bahama, and commercial work in Nassau all need framing that stands up to salt air, humidity, termites, and hurricane season. Our galvanized steel studs and track are cut to length before they ship, so you get less waste on site and don’t pay to ship scrap. See our Steel Stud & Track Pricing for material costs, then request a quote for delivery to your island.

Why Metal Framing Works in the Bahamas

  • Made for salt air. Galvanized steel studs resist corrosion, and G90 framing is typically specified for coastal and exterior work.
  • Termite-proof. Steel framing gives termites nothing to eat.
  • No rot, no mold. Steel doesn’t soak up moisture, swell, or warp in constant humidity.
  • Holds up after storms. Steel studs don’t rot when a building gets wet, so walls stay straight and drywall stays flat. After Hurricane Dorian hit Abaco and Grand Bahama in 2019, many owners started looking harder at what their walls are made of.
  • Non-combustible. Metal stud framing helps meet fire-rated wall requirements in hotels and commercial buildings.
  • Engineered connections. Hurricane-rated wall systems depend on structural studs and the right connectors — bypass clips, bracing, and foundation anchors.

 

Before you order, read our guide to cold-formed steel framing in coastal and high-humidity climates. It covers coating choices and detailing that protect steel near the ocean.

USA-Made Steel Stud and Track for the Bahamas

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
  • Framing accessories: slotted deflection track, angle, furring (hat) channel, cold-rolled channel, RC1 channel, and flat strap — see our Framing Accessories Pricing
  • Galvanized coatings in G60 and G90
