Steel Frame Systems

Steel Frame Systems

external and internal dry wall construction using Steel Framing System (SFS) – an innovative approach to building robust and sustainable structures. Our services are tailored to meet the highest industry standards, with innovative solutions that enhance structural integrity and overall project efficiency. Steel-framed construction has gained popularity, especially in high-rise residential structures. Steel frame producers have traditionally led the approach, focusing on designing and supplying steel frames. This was then enveloped with plasterboard manufacturers' boards, and backed by a range of test evidence. The Finishes and Interiors Sector (FIS) trade association categorizes light steel external wall systems into three generic types, each offering distinct advantages in construction. Each of these generic types addresses specific construction requirements, and the choice depends on factors such as project scale, design preferences, and structural considerations.

Infill Walls: These walls are designed to fill the gaps between the primary structural elements, providing support and stability. In addition to their structural role, infill walls can be customized to meet various design requirements, allowing for flexibility in both residential and commercial applications.

Continuous Walls: This type of external wall system provides consistent support throughout its length, contributing to enhanced structural integrity. Continuous walls are known for their durability and uniform appearance, making them a popular choice for projects where aesthetic appeal and robust construction are paramount.

Panelised Systems: Panelised systems in light steel construction involve the assembly of prefabricated panels off-site, which are then transported and installed on-site. This approach streamlines the construction process, leading to increased efficiency and reduced construction time. Panelised systems are particularly advantageous for large-scale projects, offering a balance between speed and precision in external wall construction.

  • The following details key topics related to SFS construction.

Responsibilities: Our team at Mr Sustainable is responsible for ensuring that external wall constructions fulfil the highest quality requirements. We handle the structural design from idea to completion, ensuring that all Through-Wall Infill SFS Systems components meet regulatory criteria and customer specifications.

Structural Design: We specialise in creating strong structural solutions that ensure the durability and stability of external walls. Our deep grasp of load-bearing principles guarantees that every project, regardless of size, is constructed on a solid foundation of structural integrity.

Wind Loadings: Mr Sustainable prioritises the safety of external wall projects by carefully assessing and managing wind loads. Our skilled team conducts thorough studies to establish the best Through-Wall Infill SFS System, guaranteeing resistance to changing wind conditions.

Reaction to Fire: Our Through-Wall Infill SFS Systems are engineered to have a minimal reaction to fire. Mr Sustainable prioritizes materials with excellent fire-resistant properties, contributing to a safer built environment.

Window and Door Apertures: We understand the need of smoothly integrating window and door openings into external wall structures. Mr Sustainable provides customised Through-Wall Infill SFS Systems to fit these apertures, offering both utility and aesthetic appeal.

Fire Protection of Structural Steel: Mr Sustainable understands the importance of protecting structural steel components. Our Through-Wall Infill SFS Systems are designed to provide effective fire protection, ensuring the longevity and safety of the overall construction.

Does Lightning negatively impact steel if struck?

Because steel acts as a positive conductor to the ground, The energy is directed directly to the ground rather than being discharged destructively within the frame, as is the case with traditional framing or cladding.

Do Steel Frames Expand in Cold and Heat?

Thermally induced movement is not an issue if a light steel frame home is properly built and insulated. Steel is a manufactured, inorganic material that will not decay, warp, twist, bend, shrink, or settle. There are much fewer cases of plaster or cornice splitting since steel does not alter over time, making noise extremely improbable. Because steel frames do not settle with time, there are fewer movement difficulties, such as stuck doors or windows.

How Does Steel Perform Against the High Wind, Like A Tornado or Hurricane?

A properly constructed and specified steel house is capable of withstanding gale-force winds. Most steel-reinforced buildings can survive hurricane winds up to 170 mph.

How does the cost of steel frame construction compare to traditional methods?

Steel frame construction can be cost-competitive, with potential savings in terms of labor and materials.
