Steel framed homes Forrestfield
The benefits of steel framed homes in Forrestfield are plentiful
Steel framing has many advantages over timber. From strength and durability to its environmental benefits, steel framing consistently proves to be the superior choice.
Cost Effective - While timber is a cheaper building material than steel, steel can be light and easier to assemble. This means that steel can be more cost effective in your Forrestfield home building stage.
Stronger & Straighter - Steel will give your home a straighter finish, especially along roof lines, ceilings and walls, which if built from timber, can visibly flex and warp over time. Steel provides strong foundations for your Forrestfield home, preventing sloping and sinking over time. Steel also resists damage from storms, wind and lighting better then timber.
Fire Resistant - Timber framed homes are vulnerable to fire, as we have seen with bush fires all over Australia devastating home. Steel is non-combustible, and will not bend or warp in a fire. Steel framing can mean the difference between fixing your home or rebuilding your Forrestfield home entirely.
Termite proof - A Forrestfield house with a steel frame will still have timber components that can get eaten by termites, so there’s still the risk of your doors and skirting getting affected, but if a metal framed house is attacked by termites you might have a few hundred dollars’ worth of damage. Where as a full timber frame has the potential for thousands and thousands of dollars’ worth of damage.
Sustainable - It is environmentally responsible, low on life cycle energy usage, recyclable, non toxic and saves timber resources.
Greater Design Flexibility - As a custom home builder we appreciate the greater design flexibility that steel offers over timber frame construction. For example, the higher strength to weight ratio of steel compared with timber frames means steel produces lighter, stronger frames with greater spans. This opens up large spaces inside your Forrestfield home.
