The HDS Framing System from ClarkDietrich is a labor-saving, multi-purpose steel framing system that eliminates box beam header assembly, as well as stud-to-track nesting for post, header and jamb studs. The system’s superior strength and carrying capacity results in high performance with fewer framing members, thereby reducing material and labor costs by up to 50%. As with all ClarkDietrich steel framing products, the HDS system has a published Environmental Product Declaration and contributes directly towards achieving Building Product Disclosure and Optimization credits in LEED v4.
