Supplying Hamilton builders from our Toronto plant
Steel, for a steel city.
Hamilton knows steel better than any market in Ontario, and Hamilton buyers read a gauge chart the way other cities read a price list. That sets the bar: consistent thickness, straight material and a supplier who can talk specification without guessing.
The work here runs on two tracks. Downtown and the lower city are full of conversions, with old industrial and masonry buildings being turned into lofts, offices and rental units. Up the Mountain and out through Stoney Creek, Waterdown and Binbrook, it is new construction in volume, alongside ongoing hospital and university work around McMaster.
Your order is handled by the team that rolls it. The person who confirms your order is the person who can answer a technical question about it.
Products we stock for Hamilton projects
What we roll.
Hamilton leans harder on channels and acoustic product than most markets, because retrofit walls and multi-unit conversions need both.
Interior and structural studs and track, slotted and flex track, shaftwall CH stud and J-track, windbrace and L-track.
Furring, resilient and carrying channel, Z-bar, corner beads and trims, hanger and tie wire, clips, lath and mesh.
Cold-formed floor joists and rim track (LSF floor system), roof deck, composite floor deck, form deck, acoustic deck.
Special profiles bent from galvanized steel to your shop drawing.
Steel framing for Hamilton retrofits
Old walls, straight framing.
A century-old brick warehouse on Barton Street does not have plumb walls, level slabs or matching ceiling heights from one bay to the next. Steel framing is how those buildings become apartments and offices, and the framing only goes up straight if the material is chosen for the building it is going into.
Masonry
Furring over masonry
Furring channel and Z-bar strapping over brick and block walls, creating a flat plane for board without building a full stud wall inside the old one.
Tolerance
Deep leg track for uneven slabs
Deep leg and slotted track take up variation at floor and ceiling, so partitions stay plumb where the structure is not.
Lengths
Lengths cut to each bay
Floor-to-ceiling heights change across older buildings. We cut studs to the heights on your schedule, bay by bay, instead of shipping one stock length that gets cut on site.
Acoustics
Sound separation between new units
Resilient channel on shared walls and ceilings, where one building is becoming many tenancies.
Delivery and lead times to Hamilton
An hour from the plant.
Our plant sits roughly 75 km from downtown Hamilton, about an hour outside rush hour via Highway 401 and Highway 403. That puts Hamilton on our regular Golden Horseshoe routes, not a special run.

Delivered
Jobsite delivery
Direct to sites across downtown, the lower city, Westdale, the Mountain, Stoney Creek, Ancaster, Dundas, Waterdown and Binbrook. Deliveries are timed around QEW and 403 traffic so the truck reaches site in the window you booked.
Access
Lower city or the Mountain
Narrow lower city streets and escarpment access roads both affect what truck can reach your site and when. Tell us the address and access conditions with your order, and boom placement gets planned before dispatch.
Pickup
Will-call pickup
An hour’s drive means a crew can collect in the morning and be framing by early afternoon. Orders are staged at 40 Millwick Drive, Unit 4, Toronto, and ready on confirmation.
Pricing in Hamilton
Why Hamilton buys from Saturn.
Competitive pricing on every order, and at an hour from our plant, short lead times and low freight on top.
Competitive pricing
Sharp pricing on every skid, quoted by the people who roll the steel.
Short-notice top-ups
When a retrofit wall turns out different from the drawings, a top-up order is close enough to arrive in days, not weeks.
Boom truck placement
Material set where the crew needs it, which matters on tight lower city streets and infill sites with no laydown space.
Cut to each bay
Studs arrive at the heights on your schedule, even when every bay in an old building is different.
Talk to the plant
Gauge, spacing and retrofit detailing questions answered by the people rolling the steel, before you order.
All orders feature CSSBI certification, strict quality inspections, and guaranteed written lead times for reliable scheduling.
Custom gauges and cut-to-length orders
Cut to your lengths.
Custom fabrication is not a special request here. It is how we run.
We produce studs, tracks, furring bars and trims in custom lengths, gauges and profiles to match your drawings.
In Hamilton, cut-to-length earns its place on conversion projects. Where ceiling heights vary from floor to floor, ordering by height schedule means less cutting on site, less offcut in the bin and fewer mistakes when the crew moves between floors.
Lengths: Cut to the exact dimension on your schedule.
Gauges: 25 through 20, plus custom thickness on request.
Widths and legs: Web and flange sized to the assembly, including deep leg track.
Profiles: Custom shapes rolled from your section detail.
Code compliance and certification
Certified to spec.
Hamilton projects answer to the Ontario Building Code, and conversions of older or heritage buildings often add review steps before framing can start. Documentation that is ready early keeps those reviews from holding up the schedule.
CSSBI product certified: Manufactured to recognised cold-formed steel standards.
Well Made Here member: Canadian manufacturing, verified.
Consistent gauge and coating: with documented quality inspection on every run.
Specification sheets: available for submittal packages.
Engineering and shop drawing support in Hamilton
Checked before it ships.
In-house structure consultation, load calculations and product selection, from planning through installation.
Selection
Gauge and spacing
Confirmed against partition heights and deflection criteria before the order is placed, not after the walls are up.
Existing structure
Framing in older buildings
Detailing for furring over masonry, uneven slabs and irregular floor-to-floor heights in conversion projects.
Permits
Submittal support
Documentation for City of Hamilton permit packages and institutional specification reviews.
Schedule
Substitution review
When the specified product is unavailable and the schedule cannot wait, we help find a compliant equivalent.
