Benefits for the Home Owner

A Steel Frame Solutions frame offers you greater design freedom than other materials. Open plan living is integral with contemporary designs and steel framing is the best way to achieve maximum open spaces.

Steel Frame Solutions frames are engineered for life giving you a trouble free solution that is non-combustible and will not shrink, warp or rot.

For the environmentally conscious home owner, steel framing is 100% recyclable and currently 60% of all steel used is made from recycle scrap. When steel is recycled it can be recreated to exact performance and structural criteria. To put steel framing into perspective an average house frame can be fabricated by recycling around 6 cars.

Steel framing will not rot, is immune to insect attack and is fire resistant. Steel does no leach toxic chemicals. Because steel is considered to be inert it is an excellent healthy home option particularly for asthma sufferers. Steel framing will not act as a food source for mould and in the unfortunate event of moisture ingress into the wall, will not rot.

Finally New Zealand Steel framing, manufactured with AXXIS ™ Steel for Framing is backed by a 50-year Durability Statement from New Zealand Steel.
