Nowadays, steel frame is widely used for residential building, industrial construction, social housing, commercial project and so on.
How long have steel frame sheds been in build?
When it comes to buildings in Australia, a lot of people still think steel frame sheds are a relatively new concept in modern construction. However, what people don’t realize is that structural steel has been used as a building material for homes and sheds in Australia for over 50 years.
Looking back even further steel has been used as a construction material all over the world since before the 20th century. One of the first major uses of steel for construction was on train stations.
After this, the use of steel expanded to include things like churches and other buildings. After World War II, shortages in traditional building materials such as timber led to the development of a steel wall framing system in Australia.
If you take a look back in history, you can see that steel has reigned in construction for over a century. Today, steel is used all over the world for nearly every building application possible.
Updated software technology has made cutting and prefabrication of steel frames for kit sheds more cost-effective, short time and versatile. Joining systems, screws and nail fasteners for kit sheds have made the manufacture of steel frames easier, cheaper and more reliable.
Why is steel frame shed?
In recent years, steel frame sheds have experienced a boom due to the many advantages it offers to homeowners and builders. Here are some of advantages of steel frame sheds:
- Steel is creative and flexible. Steel framing allows for creative and flexible designs that are not possible with traditional methods like timber frames or concrete. Steel frames are more resistant against flexing and warping, meaning your home stays looking like your home with straighter lines and finishes on your roof, ceilings, and walls.
- Steel is long-lasting. A steel frame shed can last for 50 – 70 years. It is lighter, more durable, and more cost-effective to assemble than building with traditional methods. A steel frame is also resistant to termite attack and a house built with a steel frame without a termite barrier is a reasonably safe option for an owner.
- Steel is cyclone strong. At AM Industries Vietnam, our steel frame sheds meet compliance with cyclonic wind loadings across Australia. Steel can boast the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any current residential building material. This means your sheds and its foundations can stand up to stronger winds, fiercer storms, and even the occasional lightning strike.
- Steel is an eco-friendly building material. Steel is 100% recyclable and causes minimal site impact.
- Steel framed sheds are energy efficient. Compared to homes built from timber or brick, steel framed homes are more energy efficient in terms of thermal regulation. So, they are cooler in summer and warmer in winter. This means you will need to spend less money on heating and cooling a steel framed home.
- Steel is low maintenance. At AM, we have fabricated steel frames according to international standards, Australia Standards, American Standards, European Standards and so on. This means our steel frame sheds have high-quality with perfect and smooth coating which protect our frames years by years.
What is the steel frame construction process?
The erection of structural steelwork consists of the assembly of steel components into a frame on site. The processes involve lifting and placing components into position, then connecting them together. Generally, this is achieved through bolting but sometimes site welding is used.
