The Steel Floor Guide is an easy-to-use reference tool for building and installing residential steel floor joists. This must-have guide features on-the-job installation instructions useful to both the novice and experienced steel framer. It includes a technical introduction, an explanation of steel's benefits, recommendations for tools, step-by-step instructions complete with detailed illustrations and handy construction tips.

Contents for the guide were based on the alliance's National Training Curriculum, long considered the authoritative instructional and reference piece on light-gauge steel framing.
