A house will probably be the biggest investment in your lifetime. So why not do it the safe way, with possibly more long- term cost advantages as outlined below.

In the 1940’s Australia had a shortage of timber building materials. This led to the development of Steel framed housing. Hence steel framing has been successfully used since the early 1950’s. The 1960’s provided a galvanized steel frame system and todays highly innovative use of a thinner high tensile steel is unsurpassed.

Steel framed Housing is the most trouble free, safe, strongest, most durable system.

The features and benefits include

• Termites and bores cannot eat steel
• Dry rot is not a problem with steel
• Steel frames are very strong yet are light weight, making on-site handling and assembly easier
• Steel will not ignite or contribute to a fire. Some Insurers may offer savings on premiums for steel structure house due to steel being non-combustible.
• Steel frames will not absorb moisture, dry out or warp
• Steel frames will not rust. They are made of almost pure zinc (galvanized). Typical shower damage or washers that leak will not affect the steel as it does with timber which just rots away and can be expensive to fix or replace.
• Steel frames are fully engineered, sections are mechanically jointed and tolerant of thermal movement
• Steel frames keep their shape, not shrinking. Hence there are no such problems as door and windows sticking, roofs sagging over time, plaster cracking or squeaky floors with nail pop ups; Eliminating costly and inconvenient repairs or embarrassing builders with the 7 year guarantee
• Steel frame are straight and true, which mean they are not precambered like timber which can lead to ripples and/or bumps in ceilings and roofs.
• Due to its inherent strength and consistency steel frames allow optimum design freedom reducing the possible number of framing members required.
• In a properly constructed, insulated house Steel frames are quiet. There is no evidence to support the claim that steel housing is noisy. Actual tests prove that thermally induced movement and noise is no more likely with steel framing than with timber.
• Lightening strikes do not affect steel frames like timber. The steel creates a positive earth, which means the energy is conducted straight into the ground.
• Steel framing is safe to handle, as it is not chemically treated as some termite protected timber which dipped in dangerous, toxic chemicals
• Steel is 100 % recyclable
• Steel is a consistent material, hence every stud is a good stud; meaning no time wasting sorting materials with knots or bows
• With our system waste is minimal
• Steel roof structures are highly rated in any climate, but a preferred material in hot and/or humid conditions where timber can shrink and expand
• Steel frames are vastly used in cyclonic areas due to its inherent strength
• With all the above factors in mind, steel framing is good value for money
