AUSMAR, a leading Sunshine Coast builder, champions house frames made from TRUECORE® Steel for its numerous advantages. This framing material offers a perfect blend of strength, sustainability, and design flexibility, making it ideal for the modern Australian homeowner.
BUILDING WITH STRENGTH: WHY CHOOSE TRUECORE® STEEL?
TRUECORE® Steel boasts an impressive strength-to-weight ratio. This translates to several key benefits:
- Durability: Frames made from TRUECORE® Steel won’t shrink, twist or warp over time, so there’s less chance of sticking windows, jammed doors and wavy roof lines. This stability helps to ensure your home maintains its structural integrity for decades, minimising future maintenance.
- Weather Resilience: House frames made from TRUECORE® Steel comprise the structural elements that deliver lateral and vertical resistance to wind, and protect the building envelope against external weather conditions.
- Fire Resistance: A house frame made with the inner strength of TRUECORE® Steel won’t catch fire and may help you achieve the standards required for building in even the most severely rated flame zone.
THE CONSTRUCTION ADVANTAGES OF HOUSE FRAMES MADE FROM TRUECORE® STEEL
TRUECORE® Steel offers significant advantages during the construction process:
- Fast Construction: House frames made from TRUECORE® Steel are prefabricated off-site to precise specifications. This allows for faster assembly on-site, leading to shorter construction times compared to traditional methods.
- Reduced Waste: Precise prefabrication minimises on-site wastage of materials. This not only reduces construction costs but also promotes sustainable building practices.
- Design Flexibility: Despite its strength, TRUECORE® Steel is surprisingly versatile. TRUECORE® Steel framing provides architects and designers with almost limitless ability to design facades that are lightweight, durable and add tremendous value to the aesthetic appeal of a building.
