 Spotlight On Framing
The use of structural steel framing is expanding rapidly throughout the UK as awareness of the undisputed benefits of this construction system spreads.
Long established in the USA in both the high rise commercial and residential sectors acceptance by the more traditionally minded within the construction industry has lead to a rapid growth in market share.
The benefits are proven and itemised below:-
- Speed of construction. SFS infill will reduce the time of construction when used instead of traditional block work by several weeks.
- On high rise applications costs can be saved by reducing the size of pilings and ring beam.
- Removal of wet trades which reduces construction time lost to inclement weather.
- 100% recyclable product.
- Zero wastage as all sections are bespoke and supplied cut to exact length. This also results in a reduction in noise pollution to the area surrounding the site.
