Steel Frames:
THE SMARTER CHOICE

Using commercial-grade galvanized structural steel offers significant advantages. Its slender, strong, and lightweight profile makes it an ideal solution for various builds. Unlike heavier materials, steel frames can be assembled without cranes, saving both time and money while ensuring efficiency on-site.

Simple Assembly Without Special Tools

No need for nail guns or heavy equipment—steel frames screw together effortlessly using basic tools like a battery-operated screwdriver.

Perfect for Challenging Sites

Ideal for sloping or environmentally sensitive areas, with minimal disruption to native vegetation. Adjustable stumps make building on uneven terrain a breeze.

Efficient and Cost-Effective

Consistent Quality

Dimensionally stable and free from warps or knots, steel frames ensure straight, true finishes for walls, floors, and ceilings. Fewer bins are needed thanks to minimal on-site waste.

Flexible Design & Compatibility

Light Gauge Steel beams are slimmer yet stronger, reducing the need for columns and maximizing usable space. Compatible with all roofing and cladding systems.

Engineered for Compliance

Our frames meet all building code requirements. A PS1 and PS4 certifications for council consent can be provided upon request, ensuring safety and reliability.

Steel Framing for
FAÇADE SYSTEMS

Light gauge steel framing offers unparalleled advantages for façade construction, making it the superior choice over traditional materials like timber or heavy structural steel. Here’s why:

1. Lightweight and Flexible Design

Steel’s lightweight properties simplify handling and installation, especially in multi-story buildings. This allows for easier maneuverability and reduces the need for heavy machinery like cranes, cutting down on time and costs. Despite its lightness, steel provides exceptional strength, ensuring façades are secure and resilient.

2. Precision and Durability

Light gauge steel is manufactured to exact specifications, ensuring consistency and accuracy in every component. This precision is crucial for façade framing, where aesthetics and alignment are key. Unlike timber, steel won’t warp, twist, or shrink over time, preserving the integrity and appearance of the façade.

3. Weather Resistance

Steel framing can be installed in various weather conditions without compromising its structural integrity. Unlike timber, it does not absorb moisture, which can cause delays and lead to long-term issues like rot or decay. This makes steel particularly advantageous in climates with unpredictable weather.

4. Fire and Pest Resistance

Steel is non-combustible, adding an essential layer of safety for building façades, particularly in commercial applications. It’s also immune to pest damage, such as termites, which can compromise the structural integrity of timber façades.

5. Design Versatility

Light gauge steel framing allows for the integration of diverse cladding materials, from glass to composite panels and more. This versatility opens up creative possibilities for architects, enabling complex designs while maintaining structural reliability.

6. Sustainability

Steel is 100% recyclable, making it an eco-friendly choice for façade construction. Its longevity reduces the need for frequent replacements, contributing to the overall sustainability of the project.

7. Cost Efficiency

Pre-fabricated steel panels save time and labor during installation, while the durability of the material minimizes long-term maintenance costs. This makes steel a cost-effective choice for façade projects, particularly for large-scale commercial buildings.

By choosing light gauge steel for façade framing, architects and builders can ensure a balance of strength, style, and sustainability while optimizing efficiency and minimizing costs. It’s the ideal solution for modern, high-performance buildings.
