        "text": "Wood framing using standard dimensional lumber remains the preferred choice for most residential remodels, additions, and basement finishes because it easily fastens to subfloors and accepts finish carpentry, trim, and heavy cabinetry. Metal framing consists of lightweight, galvanized steel studs that will not warp, rot, or twist over time. While steel studs offer perfectly straight lines and work well for simple non-load-bearing partition walls, they require specific fasteners and extra wood blocking for mounting heavy items like televisions or floating shelves. Traditional wood framing provides straightforward versatility when hanging solid doors or custom moldings.",
