Built Strong to Last Long

One of the most compelling advantages of steel frames is their inherent strength and durability. Steel boasts a high strength-to-weight ratio, meaning it can withstand greater loads while remaining lightweight compared to timber. This strength translates to enhanced structural integrity, making steel frames ideal for buildings in areas prone to seismic activity or harsh weather conditions. Unlike timber, steel is not susceptible to rot, decay, or insect damage, ensuring longevity and minimal maintenance requirements over the lifespan of the structure.

Strong as steel but Flexible

Steel frames offer unparalleled design flexibility, allowing builders to create innovative and complex structures with ease. The inherent strength of steel enables architects and designers to incorporate large open spaces, expansive windows, and unique architectural features without compromising structural integrity. Additionally, steel’s uniformity and consistency make it easier to achieve precise measurements and tight tolerances, resulting in streamlined construction processes and reduced material waste.

Built For the QLD Heat

In terms of safety, steel frames have a significant advantage over timber frames due to their inherent fire resistance. While timber is combustible and can contribute to the spread of fires, steel is non-combustible and does not fuel flames. This property not only enhances the safety of occupants but also reduces insurance premiums and regulatory requirements associated with fire protection measures.

While timber frames have long been the conventional choice in construction, steel frames offer a myriad of benefits that cannot be overlooked. Get your next build quoted today.

From superior strength and durability to design flexibility, fire resistance, sustainability, and cost-efficiency, steel frames present a compelling alternative for builders looking to elevate their projects to new heights. By embracing steel frames, builders can embark on a journey towards safer, more resilient, and environmentally conscious construction practices.
