Very simply, a light gauge steel frame is a high-quality product. It represents value for money and brings peace of mind. A light gauge steel frame is light and strong: it will not burn; it is termite, borer, and fungus-proof; and it will not shrink or warp. It is environmentally responsible, low on life cycle energy usage, recyclable and saves timber resources. A Quickest Built Homes Steel Frame frame is between 33%-50% of the weight of a comparable timber frame, with a far higher strength to weight ratio，and more than 60% lighter than concrete building. Steel features one of the highest strengths to weight ratio of any conventional building product. Steel is incredibly accurate with tolerances in the 10ths of a millimeter, not in 10s of millimeters. Your window and door openings will be precisely placed, perfectly square (or perfectly tapered depending on your design) meaning fitting will be faster and easier. Because steel doesn’t warp, twist, bow or settle you will experience less ‘nail pops’ requiring rectification. You will also experience drastically reduced instances of doors and windows sticking as the house settles, because a steel frame never ‘settles’, its engineered to maintain its dimensions for the lifespan of the building. Steel is 100% recyclable (in its purest sense) and has a virtually infinite life span; it’s the most recycled product on the planet. Termite treated timber is un-recyclable (straight to landfill) and almost all other timbers are only down-cyclable. Steel is 100% termite PROOF, requires $0 of termite treatment and $0 of ongoing termite maintenance. Steel is 100% non-combustible, it will not burn or ‘char’ and it will not contribute to a fire, or the spread of fire. In a bushfire, ember attack to a steel house frame and roof space will not ignite the frame. What underlies the quality of a light gauge steel frame? Light Gauge Steel is an engineered product, not an organic one. Being engineered means movement over time is eliminated, as a steel frame will not settle like other products. Alum. Zinc galvanized Steel is in a Light Gauge Steel (LGS) Frame Solutions frame. The components are precision manufactured and assembled to very tight tolerances using advanced techniques. Quickest Built Homes Steel Frame uses the most advanced framing system available in the world today, combining design and engineering software and an automated roll former to produce frames, trusses and joists quickly and accurately. Strength and performance are engineered into the frame, allowing Quickest Built Homes Steel Frame to provide the best possible product to its customers. What’s the lifetime of light gauge steel frame system? Alum. Zinc coated steel used in Quickest Built Homes Steel Frames’ wall frames and trusses come with over 80years lifetime Will a light gauge steel frame rust? Quickest Built Homes Steel Frames’ LGS frames are made of steel protected against corrosion by a hot-dipped metallic coating of a zinc-aluminum alloy. In external applications such as roofing, these products are exposed to the elements and have excellent durability, so in less exposed applications such as inside the building envelope they weather more slowly. Where there are cut edges, the galvanic action, or sacrificial protection, of the coatings protects the exposed steel edge against corrosion. Is a steel frame noisier than other stud frame buildings? No – this is one of the most ‘popular’ myths of light gauge steel framing. Quickest Built Homes Steel Frames’ light gauge steel frames are no noisier than other stud frames and there is some evidence to suggest the contrary. Steel expands and/or contracts as the temperature changes. Is this a problem? In a properly constructed and insulated home by Quickest Built Homes Steel Frame, thermally induced movement is not an issue. Steel is engineered, inorganic, will not rot, warp, twist, bow, shrink or settle. There will be far reduced instances of plaster or cornice cracking because steel doesn’t change state during its lifespan, which means it is highly unlikely that there will be noise, and in fact, because a steel frame doesn’t settle over time you enjoy LESS issues with movement such as sticking doors, windows and so on. Termites can still attack the rest of a home so do steel frames make much difference? The truth is there is nothing as catastrophic as the destruction of the primary structure of a house – the frame. Destruction of the frame by termites can be silent and invisible to the eye. Rectification of the frame can require complete replacement of other building components such as plumbing, electrical, plasterboard, skirting, architraves, kitchens, bathrooms, tiling and painting. However, Quickest Built Homes Steel Frame’s LGS frame is 100% termite-proof, ensuring no damage at all is done to the frame of the home through termites. Can the customer erect a house frame? Sure! The customer can install our system. Panels are easily handled and are clearly identified for assembly, with pre-punched electrical and plumbing service holes. Roof trusses are easily identified and easily secured to support the walls. Ceiling and roof battens are easily fixed to the trusses. You don’t need to know how to be a carpenter to erect a steel frame for your house. You require far less carpentry skills to construct a LGS frame compared to constructing timber frame as you don’t need to deal with the issues of wood warping, twisting and shrinking. Will I be able to renovate later down the track with a steel framed house? Yes. Quickest Built Homes Steel Frames’ framing allows for larger spans, meaning a home can often be designed without interior load bearing walls. This makes alterations easier without affecting the structure in any way. Furthermore, the existing steel structure will remain straight and true regardless of its age, making the job of lining up the extension easier than for conventional timber framing. How much flexibility do I have with design? Freedom of floor plan and architectural style is practically unlimited.
