"StepStuds is a completely new category of metal studs in the construction technology industry designed to lift drywall up off the floor, helping prevent moisture damage during water intrusion and flooding events. Traditional drywall installations often allow panels to sit close to floor-level moisture, leading to wicking, mold, mildew growth, and costly remediation."
