Why Steel Framing? 

There are a number of reasons why steel framing is the better option for
residential and commercial construction

1. Reduce Construction Costs

Final construction costs are lower with lightweight steel framing. Better still, steel framing can be erected faster. Plus, it’s sub-trade friendly with pre-punched service holes and plastic grommets to protect cable sheathing and pipe work.

2. Lightweight and Weatherproof

It’s 60% lighter than timber, plus it’s weather resistant and doesn’t absorb moisture, so it’s easier to handle in wet conditions and doesn’t hold up interior finishing.

4. Health and Safety

Steel doesn’t attract mould or termites, keeping home owners protected from environmental deterioration over time. It doesn’t contain nasty chemicals and unlike timber, is 100% recyclable.

6. Design Flexibility

The adaptability of steel framing allows for extensive design flexibility. Whether you’re building the interior for a warehouse, a luxury multi-storey architectural home, or an office complex, steel framing can be used in virtually any architectural design.

3. Professional Finish

Steel framing delivers cleaner lines and a sleeker look, with less cracking and popping of finishes providing a better quality finish, the first time round.

5. Fewer 'Call-Backs’

Steel doesn’t shrink, expand or move, so frames shifting during and after construction have become a thing of the past.
 

7. Earthquake Performance

Testing has proven steel framing to be highly effective in it’s response to earthquakes, making it ideal for seismic zones.
