FAQS
Our frames are constructed from high-quality, cold-formed Light Gauge Steel (LGS). This material is known for its strength, durability, and resistance to various environmental factors, ensuring a robust foundation for your construction needs.
We manufacture a wide range of framing types to suit various construction requirements, including wall frames, roof trusses, floor joists, and custom-designed frames. Each type is engineered to provide optimal support and designed using precision CAD software for exact specifications.
Yes, we offer comprehensive installation services for our frames. Our team of skilled professionals ensures that the installation process is efficient, meets all safety standards, and aligns with your construction timeline and requirements.
Absolutely, LGS framing is typically faster to install compared to traditional timber framing. This is due to the pre-fabrication of components which are designed for quick assembly on-site, reducing overall construction time.
Initially, steel framing can be more costly than timber due to the price of materials. However, considering its durability, lower maintenance costs, and faster installation, steel framing can be more cost-effective in the long term.
Yes, we can include roofing battens and yellow tongue flooring systems as part of our comprehensive framing solutions. These components are integral to the structural integrity and overall quality of the construction.
We do offer cladding services as part of our construction solutions. Our cladding services include a variety of materials and styles to not only protect your building from the elements but also enhance its aesthetic appeal.
Our steel trusses are engineered for a wide range of spans, suitable for both residential and commercial applications. The span capabilities will depend on the specific design and load requirements of your project, which we can determine during the planning and design phase.
LGS framing is manufactured in controlled factory environments, which allows for rapid assembly at the construction site, reducing waste and enhancing construction quality. This prefabrication leads to faster building times and less on-site labor.
The strength of LGS allows for longer spans and larger open spaces without intermediate columns or load-bearing walls. This means architects and builders can create innovative, open designs that are difficult to achieve with traditional materials.
Yes, LGS structures can be engineered to meet the highest seismic ratings, making them particularly suitable for areas susceptible to earthquakes. The non-combustible properties of steel also enhance fire safety, adding to the overall resilience of the structure.
Absolutely. Steel is a fully recyclable material, making LGS framing a sustainable choice for environmentally conscious construction. The production and assembly process is designed to minimize environmental impact.
LGS framed buildings generally have lower maintenance costs due to the durability and resilience of steel. The material is not susceptible to rot, warping, or pest infestations, which typically affect wood structures, leading to further cost savings over time.
While steel frames can transmit sound, pairing LGS construction with appropriate soundproofing and insulation materials can result in excellent acoustic performance and enhanced energy efficiency.
The initial costs may be higher, but the long-term benefits such as lower maintenance, durability, and the potential for higher resale values make LGS framing a cost-effective option over the lifespan of the building.
LGS buildings can be modified even after construction is complete. Non-load bearing walls can be easily moved, removed, or altered, offering flexibility for future renovations or changes.
