HQ manufactures load-bearing and non Load-Bering light gauge wall systems.
Our Pre-fabricated wall panels have all the same time and cost-saving
benefits as roof trusses. All panels are factory-built in our Chinese
manufacturing plant in an indoor environment. Builders provide the construction
details of the homes to Steel HQ factory where the building plans are
fed into a computer program that designs the wall panels for the homes¡Š
specific needs. Steel HQ cut, and screw the units together in our quality-controlled
environment that creates a stronger, more durable wall structure. These are the characteristics of our walls:

Although Steel HQR walls are lightweight, their remarkable strength is
in the engineering design technology. Engineered strengths of walls can
vary according to structural requirements. Steel HQ Wall Panel sizes are
only restricted to governmental transport regulations and practical handling
limits. Integrated Features
