DURABLE

Steel Framing offers unsurpassed durability when compared with timber.

Moreover, steel frames and trusses have one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios of any building material.

It won’t warp or flex as timber does, meaning the lines of your building remain straight and true over time.

Frames made from TRUECORE® Steel are 100% Termite and Borer Proof.

A staggering 50-year warranty for eligible applicants will have you resting easy.

COST-EFFECTIVE

Australian Steel Framing is pre-engineered in our factory on the Central Coast and then supplied, ready to erect on site.

Assembly time is significantly reduced due to the precision and accuracy of the prefabrication, meaning you will save thousands on labour costs and decrease the overall build time.

The durability of steel will save you maintenance and repair costs.

Insurance costs are also, in many cases, lower for homes with steel frame construction.

ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND

Australian Steel Framing can earn builders points towards green certification programs.  

Furthermore, steel is made from recycled materials (it is one of the most recycled products on the planet) and can be recycled after its life. 

A quality Australian Steel Frame creates an airtight and well-insulated, energy-efficient home.

Steel is non-combustible, making it the logical building material for bushfire-prone areas.

 

Why Truecore Steel?

TRUECORE® steel is termite and borer-proof, so it's no wonder that the inner strength of TRUECORE® steel is the future of framing.
