        "text": "The two primary materials used for drywall framing are wood and light-gauge metal (steel) studs. Wood studs, typically 2x4s or 2x6s, are common in residential construction due to their cost-effectiveness and ease of use. Metal studs are frequently chosen for commercial projects or basements because of their fire resistance, resistance to rot and insects, and consistent straightness.
