  discussing a building material being used in the
  structural building and construction industry

• Myth - Prone to lightning strikes
•  
• No, CFS or cold-formed steel building material
  is not prone to lightning strikes. As a matter of
  fact, it is a positive conductor to the earth
  with the energy conducted straight to the ground.
•  
• Myth - Rust over time
•  
• Steel frames are being used extensively in
  both residential and commercial applications.
  This building material is being used even for
  external applications such as roofing, where it
  gets the most exposure. It is a myth that it
  rusts over time. It does not. In fact, it has
  excellent durability.

Steel Bridging building material does not rot,
warp, twist, bow, shrink, split or settle. It
doesnt change shape during its lifespan.

  Myth - Interfere with radio and television
reception   Another big myth about CFS material
is that it interferes with radio and television
reception. There is no clue where this
misconception has come from. As we know,
electromagnetic waves can diffract around timber
they diffract around steel as well.
