Advantages of Steel Frames
Steel frames aren’t new, but they’re rapidly gaining in popularity in residential and commercial applications thanks to advances in design detailing and manufacturing processes making them more accessible. The advantages of working with light weight steel framing will enable your business to run rings around your competition.
Light weight
Steel frames achieve all the necessary standards applicable, often with significantly less material and weight. Being lightweight also makes them efficient to transport and easy to handle on site.
Straight & True
Steel frame sections are produced with machine precision ensuring they’re always true to specification. Because steel is engineered the same every time, there are no issues with warping or bowing that are sometimes present in timber frames.
Non-combustible
Steel is a non-combustible material so it helps to reduce the fire risk of your building, and that’s especially important on this scorched continent of ours.
Termite proof
Can you imagine a creature capable of eating steel? Even Sigourney Weaver would be rightfully scared at that prospect! Thankfully these terrifying creatures don’t exist, so there’s no need to worry about structural integrity due to pests or any of the nasty chemicals that go with treating them when you’re using steel.
