Why steel framing
Light gauge steel (LGS) framing replaces timber wall frames, floor joists and roof trusses with roll-formed steel sections. Here is why builders are switching, and why we roll-form our own.
Straight, true and light
Steel does not warp, twist or shrink. Walls stay plumb, doors keep closing, and the frame weighs around a third of timber.
Termite proof
Termites cannot eat steel. No chemical barriers, no inspections, no hidden damage.
Non-combustible
Steel does not burn. It suits bushfire-prone (BAL) sites and reduces fire load in the structure.
30-year structural warranty
Frames are made from BlueScope TrueCore steel, and carry a 30-year structural warranty.
Faster on site
Frames arrive pre-punched and labelled, screwed together to the drawings. Less site labour, less waste, tighter programme.
Engineered to the millimetre
Every frame is detailed in FrameCAD and roll-formed to the design. What the engineer drew is what turns up.
Dimensionally stable
No moisture movement means fewer cracks in plaster and fewer call-backs after handover.
100% recyclable
Offcuts and end-of-life frames go back into steel production. Nothing to landfill.
