Before choosing anything else, take
this simple test
Is it long life
and trouble free? - Steel frames are shrinkage free -
no sticking door and window jambs or cracking cornices. Walls,
ceilings, and roofs stay straight and true, making it easy to
align future extensions.
Does it have the flexibility
for your design? Steel's structural strength allows for
excellent spanning ability, a natural for today's wide open
living spaces. Whatever your design, steel framing suits both
concrete slab and subfloor construction and it's ideal for those
steep, hilly sites. Steel-framed homes are electrically safe,
designed so that any electrical leakage is conducted safely
straight to the ground.
Is it naturally termite, borer
and dry-rot proof? Steel is free from the toxic chemical
treatments often used to protect other framing systems.
Does it burn?
Naturally non-combustible steel products are widely used in
high fire risk applications.
Is it easy to handle and install?
Wall panels and roof trusses are clearly labelled for on-site
assembly. Electrical and plumbing service holes can be pre-punched.
Compatible with your choice of floor, wall, ceiling and roof
materials.
Is it recyclable? Steel-framing
is the right choice for the environment because it is 100% recyclable.
Is it backed by experts?
Steel-framing specialists supply fully engineered and builder
friendly steel frames throughout Australia. Increasing numbers
of builders are building steel-framed homes. Steel-framing systems
are also available in kit form.
Is it affordable? Innovative
steel-frame technology means pricing is competitive with other
quality framing systems
Does it come with a warranty?
A 50 year warranty (conditions apply accompanies ZINCALUME®

Is there really any other choice?
None that makes so much sense on so many different levels.

what we mean by 'peace of mind'.
