Steel Frame For Residential

Why steel frames?

• No Toxic Chemicals
• No Mould
• No Rot
• No Termites
• No Gases & Vapours
• No Shrinking, Cracking, Splitting, Creeping
• No Bowing, Bending, Warping, Twisting or Movement
• No Drying Out Required
• Not Affected By Rain
• No Rust
• Non Combustible

Working with commercial grade galvanized structural steel has some major benefits.

The slender profile of steel, its strength and light weight makes it an ideal option and no cranes are required to assemble the framework, which saves time and money.

No need for special tools
Many appreciate the simplicity of the screw-together framing, especially as there is no need for special tools. Forget about nail guns, and lugging timber.

Ideal for environmentally sensitive sites
It is ideal for environmentally sensitive sites as there is minimum disruption and disturbance to the native vegetation. It is particularly suited to sloping sites where access is difficult.

Steel trusses and steel roofing panels reduce labour costs
Steel trusses and steel roofing panels reduce labour costs because they have straightforward assembly – only requiring a battery operated screwdriver.

No need for power
The wall frames and roof trusses can be positioned and screwed together in even the most remote locations without needing access to the power grid.

Steel beams are half the depth of timber
Steel beam depths are around half that of timber beams offering greater usable space and lower costs than that of other materials.

Fewer columns and stud support are required
Due to its superior strength and flexibility, it provides increased spanning capabilities meaning fewer columns/stud support requirements and therefore more usable space.

Difficult terrain is not a problem
Build safely on sloping sites, even on the most difficult terrain. We can supply you with a floor system to sit on top of adjustable stumps which makes assembly very easy and you can trailer in most components.

Quick and easy to assemble, with almost no wastage
Prefabricated frames are easy and quick to assemble and on-site wastage is almost eliminated. Frames fit together with logic and simplicity and being dimensionally stable, once erected they will not move or warp. Reduced waste on building sites means fewer bins are required.

No need to pack out, plane off or compensate for warps, twists and knots
Prefabricated steel frames are straight and true which makes it easier and faster to achieve a high level of internal finish on the walls, the floors and ceilings. This saves time and money, and some trades actually prefer to work on steel frames because they do not have to pack out, or plane off and compensate for warps, twists and knots.

Pre punched for plumbing and electrical
Our light gauge steel frames are pre-punched for quick and easy installation of plumbing and electrical services.

Higher quality internal wall finish
High quality of finished interiors due of the straightness of framing and studs.

PS1 & PS4 for council consented plans included
All our steel frames are designed and inspected by professional engineering consultants and architects to ensure Building Code Compliance in all aspects. Every project of Steel Frame Solutions can be covered by third party engineer’s producer statements PS1 and PS4 for council consented plans if required.

Compatible with any roofing and cladding system

Generally no need for specific ply or gib bracing.
Bracing is achieved using a combination of “K” braces in the framing system and standard fixed gib. There is generally no need for specific ply or gib bracing.
