OPTIMIZE DESIGNS WITH PLATINUM GUIDELINES

Designing with Platinum Technology™ (patent pending) products is nearly identical to designing with conventional 2x4 or 2x6 framing. The structural and design criteria follow the accepted practices found in the 2001 AISI Specification for Design of Cold-Formed Steel Framing and other code references, such as SBC, UBC, IRC and BOCA.

PAT has developed their Guidelines for Designing with Platinum Advanced Technologies™ products, it is downloadable here.

Within this design resource, there are:
• architectural specifications, in CSI Master format
• detail drawings of some typical condition
• reference to some industry framing and load information
• our Assembly Manual.

In addition to this resource, our competent design staff is available by phone or e-mail to discuss any specific need or questions. We all learn together and benefit by interaction among professionals. We look forward to working with you.
