Metwood Trimmable SQUARE COLUMNS™

Metwood SQUARE COLUMNS™ are versatile structural support columns particularly compatible with TUFF BEAM+™ Structural CFS Beam, TUFF FLOOR™ Suspended Concrete Floor, and TUFF DECK™ products.

Metwood Trimmable SQUARE COLUMNS™ are the ideal support solution for builders, offering unmatched versatility and strength. They offer a significant advantage over traditional round columns due to their higher strength-to-weight ratio, enhancing support and efficiency.

These columns are also designed for ease of installation, as they can be cut to size on-site with a reciprocating saw, abrasive blade, or hacksaw nd assembled quickly using self-drilling screws. Additionally, their square shape facilitates more convenient attachment of finishing materials, all at a cost comparable to round columns, making them a practical and effective solution for builders.

In addition to their structural benefits, SQUARE COLUMNS™ are incredibly builder-friendly when it comes to installation. They are a core component in both TUFF FLOOR™ Suspended Concrete Floor and TUFF DECK™ products, demonstrating their adaptability in various construction scenarios plus the 3 inch square columns fit inside a standard 2 x 4 framed wall and are perfect for supports and wall stiffeners.

Metwood Trimmable SQUARE COLUMNS™ are priced competitively with round columns, offering better value with their enhanced features.

Huge difference from the round columns we’re used to. So much easier to attach the framing for our basement remodels.
