I was recently spec'ing out a house that would require me to finish the basement. I was pricing it for metal studs (35 cents/each vs. 2.50 wood). I know it is a LOT cheaper, and faster to put up walls with metal. That project didn't pan out, but I'd like to learn more about metal framing.
Anyone have a lot of experience with metal stud framing? I'm curious if the walls feel or sound 'tinny'. Does this make the house feel 'cheap'? I shoot for higher end homes/quality, but don't want to be accused of cheaping out. I've never used or seen a wall with metal studs before, but I'm considering this option. I may frame my own personal basement with metal studs, just to give it a shot, and see how it turns out.
Anyone got .o2 to add?
Thanks....
