Steel Framed Wall To Stick Framed Wall

Agolk2

Hey all,

Anyone got a good idea of a way to go from a steel framed wall to a stick framed wall above it? Studs, 16" O.C.

Project is a hearth and chimney where the framing near the wood stove will need to be non-combustible but then can go to wood higher up the chimney, or do you think we should use steel framing all the way up? I am biased towards wood, so don't mind me .

Thanks

I would say go metal all the way up myself.

Once you get through the learning curve of using metal, your bias toward wood framing will change.
