Why Steel?
Strukko StandFast® Range of Light Gauge Steel Frames
01
Lighter than Other Framing Materials
Strukko StandFast® frames are incredibly lightweight, eliminating the need for heavy lifting equipment on-site. A single person can easily carry a 5-metre fabricated panel, simplifying the logistics and reducing labour costs.
02
Easy Material Selection
Unlike timber, where culling and sorting are necessary to find usable pieces, Strukko StandFast® offers consistent quality. Every piece is ready to use right out of the delivery, saving time and reducing material waste.
03
Straight Walls and Square Corners
With Strukko StandFast®, you can count on precision. The frames ensure perfectly straight walls and square corners, which are crucial for a high-quality finish in any construction project.
04
Elimination of Callbacks Due to Cracks
Steel frames significantly reduce the risk of cracks in walls, a common issue with other materials. This means fewer callbacks for repairs, saving you time, money, and maintaining your reputation for quality.
05
Perfectly Functioning Windows and Doors
Since Strukko StandFast® frames maintain their shape and alignment, windows and doors will operate as they should, preventing the common issues of sticking or misalignment found in timber-framed structures.
06
Less Scrap and Waste
Steel is a more efficient material compared to timber, with only about 2% scrap and waste versus 20% for wood. This not only cuts down on material costs but also minimizes the environmental impact of your project.
07
Environmental
Selling and Green Positioning
Using steel frames like Strukko StandFast® positions your projects as environmentally friendly. Steel is a recyclable material, aligning with the growing consumer demand for sustainable building practices.
08
Consumer Perception of Superior Quality
Steel is often perceived as a premium material by consumers, which can add value to your projects. This perception can enhance the marketability of your builds, making them more attractive to potential buyers.
09
No Drying Out Period in Wet Weather
Unlike timber, steel doesn’t absorb moisture, meaning there’s no need to wait for frames to dry out in wet weather. This prevents delays and keeps your project on schedule, regardless of the weather conditions.
