The DuoShear system features innovative, custom-prefabricated framing panels that deliver twice the load-bearing strength of conventional 2×6 studs. Each design undergoes rigorous architectural and engineering review to ensure alignment with project specifications. Once on-site, the system enables rapid assembly while minimizing cutting needs.
What sets DuoShear apart is its exceptional performance and efficiency. With a remarkably low potential framing factor of 6.67%, it significantly reduces thermal and acoustic bridging while offering superior strength. The system arrives ready to install with pre-cut openings, marked penetrations, and predetermined nail patterns. This streamlined approach cuts framing time by up to 65%, reduces waste, and improves job site safety.

DuoShear has an impressive load-bearing capacity ranging from 9,080 to 11,210 pounds per linear foot (PLF)—double the capacity of traditional 2×6 stud framing.
DuoShear achieves a remarkable 25.10 R-value when erected on a 2×6 plate. When expanded to a 9.25-inch cavity width, it increases insulation space to achieve a high 38 R-value.
With an extremely low framing factor of 6.67% the DuoShear framing system eliminates much of the cavity framing that causes thermal bridges and reduces lumber requirements.
