What Happens When You Don’t Apply Our Metal Stud Framing

October 28, 2025

Header and jamb studs are required for supporting openings like windows and doors in walls, particularly in load-bearing walls. Here at State Building Products, we offer efficient metal stud framing that goes above and beyond on supporting construction projects.

In this month’s blog, we’re discussing what happens when metal stud framing isn’t applied correctly, or not at all, and why it’s recommended to use SBPs header and jamb studs.

What Happens When Stud Framing is Missing or Incorrect

When a header and jamb stud isn’t installed correctly, or missing, it leads to serious structural issues. Here’s a list of just a few reasons why these important parts of your building can cause havoc if they’re ignored:

  • Your openings may sag or shift which causes cracks in the dry wall, makes doors misalign, and compromises load distribution in key areas
  • Missing or poorly done header jambs and studs can also cost you money down the line
  • Code inspections will certainly fail if they’re missing and cause a delay on a project
  • Improper framing puts added stress on nearby studs and fasteners, weakening the overall wall system
  • It can impact the safety and lifespan of the building
