Design & Technology

The Construction Industry has seen a rapid growth in the use of cold-rolled steel sections and lightweight steel framing systems in modern construction over recent years. This is set to increase as new technologies begin to supersede more tradition building methods in modern design and construction to cope with higher build regulations and greater innovative architecture and design.

Leading this field is Steel Frame Solutions UK who offer a wide range of lightweight steel frame systems and designs from simple infill external walling systems to complete, multistorey stand alone structures.

It is an essential part of all Steel Frame Solutions lightweight steel framing systems that we confirm to all our customers that we fully comply with all the necessary British Standards – from the galvanised steel strip used in the manufacture of our sections to the calculation methods incorporated in our designs.

Steel Frame Solutions UK's Steel Framing System is designed to provide strength and stability, with a design life of 60 years, based on a warm frame approach with the application of external insulation. This warm frame approach and it’s subsequent protective properties will generally consist of a traditional or proprietary system that will provide suitable moisture protection to the basic components of the steel framing in order that the galvanised framing can fully achieve the design life needed.
