Here's to the hands that build it all. On #NationalTradesmenDay, we're tipping our hard hats to the framers, finishers, and field crews who turn blueprints into buildings and steel into structures that stand the test of time. Tag a tradesperson who deserves a shoutout today!

Anyone who has designed a cold-formed steel wall assembly knows the ritual. Pull the catalog. Find the limiting height table. Cross-check the fire-rated assembly listing. Chase the STC number through a separate acoustical report. Then confirm all of it again in a submittal. Every answer lived in its own document, and the only thing connecting them was the designer. But the process around designing with cold-formed steel is changing, and fast. Learn how in our latest article.

Somebody notched it again? No problem. The ClarkDietrich MEP Gusset Plate restores strength and stiffness to oversized MEP cutouts—without the cut-and-notch patchwork or the schedule drama. And when you need a fix fast? Clip Express® ships overnight 📦: https://brnw.ch/21x5HgJ

On the corner of Northside Drive & Ivan Allen Jr. Blvd., something bigger than a stadium came to life. Mercedes-Benz Stadium is where Atlanta comes together, and ClarkDietrich was there behind the scenes, helping energize the stadium’s steel-framed structure. We may be a small piece of the story, but we’re proud to be part of a place that means so much to Atlanta.

Wood may have built the homes of the past, but steel is building the homes meant to last. In our latest blog, we're breaking down the benefits of steel-framed homes and addressing common questions and misconceptions. Learn more: https://brnw.ch/21x5zfN

Sometimes, the smallest component makes the biggest difference. Meet the Type CWSC connector—the key component behind SilentXpress™. By connecting adjacent ProSTUD® framing members beneath a single track, CWSC connectors help create a narrower double-stud wall assembly designed to deliver high acoustic performance without giving up valuable floor space. The result? • High STC performance • A slimmer wall profile • No bridging or bracing required • Field-assembled flexibility • Tested 1- and 2-hour fire-rated assemblies Learn more about CWSC and SilentXpress™: https://brnw.ch/21x5wOT

When it comes to fire, moisture, and real-world resilience, there’s no room for compromise. ProChannel Ci™ with Grip-Deck TubeSeal® Technology brings fire performance, moisture control, and thermal efficiency together in one integrated cladding support system. And with NFPA 285 certification, you can have added confidence that the system is designed to meet rigorous fire-performance requirements. One integrated solution with no trade-offs and no compromises: https://brnw.ch/21x5pZi

Nearly a century ago, the Chrysler Building became the world's first "supertall" skyscraper. Today, there are 249, with 64% of the world's tallest buildings completed in just the last decade. But height brings a hidden challenge: noise within non-structural wall systems. As towers sway in the wind, creaks, clicks, and groans can travel through interior walls, disrupting occupant comfort. Our new white paper breaks down the engineering behind this phenomenon and introduces the solution: ClarkDietrich Motion Frame, a connector built to eliminate movement noise at height. 📄 Download it to learn how we're engineering silence into the skyline. ---> https://lnkd.in/gzmhnZVH
