Metal framing—often called “the shiny stuff” in the trade—forms the skeleton for interior walls, ceilings, and exterior applications in commercial construction. Cold-formed steel framing provides the structural support that defines spaces, supports mechanical systems, and creates the framework for every finished surface.

Universal Wallboard installs metal stud systems for projects of any scale. From high-rise load-bearing assemblies to precision hospital framing with stringent specifications, from complex curved walls to standard interior partitions—we have the expertise and equipment to execute your project requirements.

Our metal framing capabilities include interior wall framing, exterior sheathing support, high-rise and multi-story applications, complex geometric configurations, fire-rated assembly framing, and integration with mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. We coordinate closely with structural engineers and general contractors to ensure proper installation that meets code requirements and project specifications.

Whether your project involves The Ari’s 14 stories, a hospital’s infection-control zones, or a government facility’s security specifications, our crews deliver structural metal framing that forms the foundation for quality finished spaces.

Acoustical ceiling systems are critical in commercial environments for sound control, accessibility to MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) systems, and visual appeal. Universal Wallboard installs suspended ceiling systems ranging from standard grid applications to complex architectural features requiring precision and expertise.

Our acoustical ceiling capabilities include suspended acoustical tile systems, exposed and concealed grid installations, direct-mount acoustical panels, metal panel ceilings, wood-look and specialty acoustical systems, and cloud and baffle configurations. We coordinate integrated lighting, HVAC diffusers, sprinkler systems, and other ceiling penetrations to ensure seamless integration.

Complex projects like the Stevie Eller Dance Theatre showcase our ability to execute demanding ceiling designs with both acoustic performance requirements and architectural significance. We handle variable height installations, large-span applications, seismic bracing and compliance, clean room specifications for healthcare, and geometric patterns requiring precision layout.

From standard office ceiling grids to performing arts venues with complex acoustical requirements, from hospitals needing accessible ceilings for maintenance to retail spaces requiring architectural impact—our crews deliver ceiling systems that perform and impress.
