Why Steel Framing   << previous


Steel framing is not affected by
variations in humidity. So expansion or
shrinkage of walls, floors and ceilings
caused by moisture is greatly reduced.
Jamming of doors and windows are a
thing of the past.

Great Design Freedom
Steel offers great flexibility in the design
of interior space due to its low weight,
high strength and ability to cope with
large unsupported spans. This allows
for larger unobstructed living areas and
fewer supporting walls.

Steel can be easily combined with
other building materials such as bricks,
concrete, timber, plaster board and


particle board, or any of the other
conventional materials now used in
home construction.

21st Century Steel Homes is proud
to be apart of the movement that started
towards steel frame housing in Australia
and world wide.
As you can see the
reasons are obvious and the consumers
response to the movement is eye
opening.

The termite and white ant activities
also helps this trend and especially
when home owners see articles on the
news with headings like "One step
from death" or "Termite damage might
shock".


The danger occurred when one
family found a termite nest behind
a light switch and the damage
electrified the sliding door with a
potentially deadly 215 volts of
power !
