Why Steel ?

Greater Design Freedom

With steel, our designers have more freedom to explore innovative designs, unique shapes, and architectural features that may not be feasible with traditional building materials. This flexibility allows for the creation of stunning and unconventional structures that stand out for their aesthetic appeal and functionality. Whether it’s incorporating large windows, open floor plans, or intricate detailing, steel provides the structural support necessary to bring even the most ambitious design concepts to life. Ultimately, greater design freedom empowers homeowners to create spaces that are truly tailored to their vision and lifestyle preferences.

Durability

Steel is known for its exceptional durability, capable of withstanding various environmental factors and stresses over time. Unlike traditional building materials such as wood, steel is not susceptible to rot, decay, or termite damage, ensuring the longevity and structural integrity of buildings. Additionally, steel offers excellent resistance to fire, corrosion, and extreme weather conditions, making it a reliable choice for both residential and commercial construction projects. 

Truecore Steel by BlueScope incorporates Active Technology that provides enhanced corrosion resistance.

A 50-year Warranty is available for eligible applicants.

Fire

Steel is inherently non-combustible, meaning it does not contribute to the ignition or spread of flames. In the event of a fire, steel framing systems maintain their structural integrity, providing vital support to the building and allowing occupants more time to evacuate safely. Additionally, steel does not release toxic gases or smoke when exposed to fire, further enhancing the safety of occupants. This inherent fire resistance of steel makes it an ideal choice for constructing buildings in areas prone to wildfires or other fire hazards.

Building in bushfire-prone areas with steel has significant advantages resulting in cost savings when compared to timber framing.

Termites

Steel is famous for its innate ability to withstand termite infestations, a common concern in traditional wood-framed structures. Unlike wood, which is susceptible to termite damage, steel framing systems provide a durable and termite-resistant alternative. With steel, homeowners can eliminate the risk of structural deterioration caused by termites, ensuring the longevity and stability of their homes. Additionally, steel framing systems contribute to a healthier living environment by reducing the need for chemical treatments commonly used to combat termites in wood-framed structures. Ultimately, the termite resistance of steel offers homeowners a sustainable and low-maintenance solution.

Environmental

Steel is recognized as one of the most environmentally sustainable building materials due to its high recyclability and minimal environmental impact. Unlike traditional materials such as wood, steel can be recycled repeatedly without losing its quality or strength, reducing the demand for new raw materials and minimizing waste. Additionally, the production process of steel has become increasingly energy-efficient over the years, further reducing its carbon footprint. By choosing steel for construction projects, individuals can contribute to conservation efforts and promote a more sustainable future. Furthermore, steel framing systems offer energy-efficient solutions for building homes, helping to reduce energy consumption and lower greenhouse gas emissions over the lifespan of the structure.
