Easy Frames Light Gauge Steel Frequently Asked Questions

Get in Touch

If we have timber frame walls, can we add light gauge steel pozies and trusses?

Yes, you can. But it is preferred to have consistent material so you do not miss out on the benefits of light gauge steel throughout the whole build. Please see our home page to know why light gauge steel is the way forward.

How can I be assured that steel frames made by Easy Frames AU are good quality?

The frames manufactured by Easy Frames are roll-formed steel to strict tolerances, which fully complies with all relevant Australian Standards. Light gauge steel framing is a precision-engineered product manufactured to accurate dimensions, and this helps to ensure walls are straight and true. Steel frames don’t shrink, twist or warp over time which may help reduce builder call-backs and ongoing maintenance issues. Feel free to contact us for a site or factory visit.

Is steel frame noisier than other frame buildings?

No – this is one of the most ‘popular’ myths of light gauge steel framing. Light gauge steel frames are no noisier than other stud frames, and there is some evidence suggesting the contrary. Studies conducted by CSIRO found that “most occupants of homes with steel frames either reported no sound emitted from the frame or said, it was not a problem”. Some volunteers said that their new steel-framed home emitted less noise than their previous timber-framed home.

Can I convert my existing timber frame to light gauge steel, and how?

Yes, we certainly can. Easy Frames designers and engineers will convert your existing timber frame plan to a light gauge steel plan.

Is more trade skill required to work with steel framing?

Any trade can work with steel framing. Bricklayers can install the brick ties by simply screwing them into the stud, and plasterers appreciate the straight lines of a frame made from our steel. Pre-punched electrical and plumbing service holes help make installation easier for plumbers and electricians. Most frames are installed by qualified framers who can work with steel and timber. Trades are increasingly becoming experienced with working with steel as more builders adopt steel framing in their product offer.

If I use a steel frame how much flexibility do I have with design?

Steel frame manufacturers and fabricators can produce almost one or two storey home designs in Australia today. Seldom three and four-storey homes are built using steel frames. The steel frames made by Easy Frames AU are made from steel with a high strength-to-weight ratio and are ideal for modern home designs. Long spans, open plan living spaces, architectural roof lines are all possible designs that our steel can incorporate. In addition, our steel is suitable for both flat and sloping blocks.

Have steel framed buildings been proven over time?

Light gauge steel frames have been used in housing since the early 1950s and, in recent years, gained much popularity. There are well-known and reputable builders in Australia who recognise the benefits of steel and building steel-framed houses.

How do I know that steel frames will be strong enough?

Steel is inherently strong. Most modern systems use high tensile steel components and appropriate jointing methods. All steel frames are engineered to meet the relevant structural requirements of the National Construction Code.

Are there on-site benefits for construction with light gauge steel framing systems?

Steel frames are engineered with precision and are dimensionally accurate. They are prefabricated and ready for installation without frame straightening when they arrive on site. Builders and tradies have appreciated the lightweight nature of steel, helping improve on-site efficiency and reduce on-site waste.

Why light gauge steel framing?

Lightweight and Durable Steel Frame Construction

One of the main benefits of using a steel frame is that it is extremely strong and durable. Steels structural integrity is much stronger than other materials such as timber, meaning that your frame will be able to support a heavier load. This is ideal if you are planning on adding an extension to your property, or if you are constructing a large commercial building.

Another benefit of using a steel frame is that it is much lighter than other materials. This means that it is much easier to transport to your construction site and erect. This can save you a lot of time and money, as you won’t need to hire as many workers to help with the construction process.

Easy to Remodel Metal Framing

When it comes to home renovations, one of the most popular choices is to remodel the steel frame of the house. This is because it is an easy and affordable way to change the look of the house without having to do a complete overhaul. 

Termite Resistant Frames & Trusses

If you’re in the process of building a new home, you’re probably well aware of the many different factors that need to be taken into consideration in order to create a strong, durable, and long-lasting structure. One important factor that is often overlooked, however, is the potential for termite damage. While termites are small, they can do a tremendous amount of damage to a home if they’re not kept in check. In fact, termites are responsible for billions of dollars in damage to homes each year. That’s why it’s so important to make sure your home is built with termite-resistant materials, such as termite-resistant frames and trusses.

Easy Frames termite-resistant frames and trusses are made with a variety of light gauge Australian steel. Our frames are termite proof when compared to wood framed homes with timber framing. These materials are much more susceptible to termite damage than an Easy Frames steel framed home.

Design Flexibility in Framing Products

As a homeowner, you want your framing products to be as versatile as possible. You never know when you'll need to adjust the size or shape of your framing, so it's important to choose products that offer design flexibility. Our custom steel framing is the perfect solution for homeowners who want to create unique framing designs with steel Australia loves. With custom framing, you can choose the exact size, shape, and style of your framing. 

Steel Frames & Trusses For Speedy Construction

One of the biggest advantages of steel framing is the speed of construction. Steel framing is much faster to erect than traditional wood framing. This is because the steel members are cut and punched and assembled in the factory and panels are fixed together on site. This can save a lot of time and money on the construction project.

Enjoy Consistent Material Costs Structural Steel

In the construction industry, it is important to have a reliable and consistent supplier for your structural steel. After all, steel is one of the most important materials used in construction, so you need to make sure that you have a steady supply at a good price.

That’s why many construction companies choose to work with Easy Frames. We’re a leading provider of residential and commercial structural and steel frames, and we’re proud to offer our customers consistent material costs.

Steel Frames are Fire Resistant and non combustible

When it comes to choosing a frame for your building, fire safety is an important consideration. Steel is an excellent choice for a fire-resistant frame because it is non-combustible and has a high melting point. This means that it will not catch fire and will not contribute to the spread of fire.

A steel frame is also much more resistant to fire than a wood frame. Wood is a combustible material, so it can catch fire and burn. This can cause the spread of fire, and the wood can also contribute to the collapse of a building. Steel, on the other hand, is much more resistant to fire and will not contribute to the collapse of a building.

Environmentally Friendly Framing Manufacturers

Steel is one of the most environmentally friendly materials you can use for construction. It is 100% recyclable, so when you're done with it, you can simply recycle it and use it again. It's also incredibly strong, so it doesn't require a lot of material to create a sturdy frame. That means less material waste and fewer resources used.

Improved Dimensional Stability With Steel

Dimensional stability is a critical factor to consider when selecting structural steel for your project. The three main types of dimensional stability are thermal expansion, changes in moisture and structural integrity. Easy Frames light gauge steel framing has superior dimensional stability than timber or other framing materials.

Deformation Resistant Designed Steel Frames

An Easy Frames steel frame is the skeleton of the building. It is the supporting structure to which the cladding, roofing and internal partitions are attached. A steel frame is made up of top plates and bottom plates which are connected by screwing or riveting. The steel frame is one of the most important parts of the structure as it supports the weight of the building and withstands all lateral and vertical loads.

A steel frame is designed to be resistant to deformation. This means that it can withstand the forces of wind and earthquake without collapsing. The steel frame must be able to support the weight of the building and the loads imposed on it by the wind and the earthquake. The steel frame is also designed to be fire resistant. This means that it can withstand the heat of a fire without collapsing.

Mould Resistant Lightweight Steel Frames

One of the most appealing benefits of steel frames is their resistance to mould. Mould can cause serious health problems and can damage the structural integrity of a home, so it is important to choose a frame that is mould resistant. Lightweight steel frames are made from a material that is naturally resistant to mould and mildew. This means that they are less likely to develop mould growth than other types of frames. 

Strong Light Gauge Steel Frame Systems

There are many benefits to using strong light gauge steel construction for framing in your project. Steel is one of the strongest and most durable materials available, and when used in framing it can provide a structure that will last for decades. Light gauge steel frame systems are also much lighter than other framing materials, making it easier to work with and transport.

View Project

96 OUTHWAITE ROAD HEIDELBERG HEIGHTS

The recent shortage of timber supplies meant builders had to seek alternatives to meet deadlines. This change brought a lot of attention to the new way to build through light gauge steel. For some it was a first, and a new way to build moving forward.

19 KILLARNEY ROAD TEMPLESTOWE

The Templestowe Lower property owned by the builder required an urgent end-to-end light gauge steel solution. The builder had envisioned his own home to be more durable than the regular timber and made the choice to go light gauge steel.

35 EARL ST AIRPORT WEST

In early 2021 Nabi Group had chosen to partner with Easy Frames on all their light gauge steel requirements. After previous successful jobs with fast turn around and no compromising on quality, Nabi Group made the switch to Easy frames as their preferred supplier. Their choice for partnering with Easy Frames was once again reassured with their recent townhouses located in Airport West.

The Airport West town houses were a great choice for light gauge steel due to the fire rating solution it brings between townhouses.

The challenge for the property on Airport West was the timeframe. Nabi Group was having delays on the project and needed to speed up the process to ensure on time delivery.
