Dietrich UltraSTEEL Framing – Defined

Dietrich UltraSTEEL™ Framing is an internationally patented method of altering the characteristics of the base strip steel, providing higher strength capacity from lighter gauge material. The process effectively work-hardens the steel with two mating rolls. During the process, the effective thickness of the material is increased to that of the original thickness, plus the depth of the ribbing.

See The Difference!

Dietrich UltraSTEEL™ Framing isn’t just something you Can feel — it’s something you can see. The dimpled material provides a more easily identifiable product. Over the years, a number of manufacturers have duplicated or produced very similar products — so similar that only a skilled professional could tell them apart. As a result, it was very hard to determine which material was being used. Dietrich UltraSTEEL™ Framing has an easily identifiable pattern that clearly identifies the Dietrich brand and ensures product performance and specification compliance.
