Beams and columns
Beams are usually horizontal structural elements that support the weight of floors, ceilings, and roofs and help distribute weight to a structure’s vertical load-bearing elements. Columns are vertical structural elements that support the floor and roof beams above.
Structural flooring
Structural flooring provides the base on which a structure is built. Most structural flooring systems are utilised when there is a medium to high risk of soil swelling or movement, which can cause structural damage.
Structural steel
Structural steel is hot-rolled steel used to create various shapes that form the framework of a structure. Structural steel is high-strength, durable, sustainable and a popular option in Australia.
Structural wall panelling
Structural wall panelling consists of an insulating foam core wedged between two structural facings. It delivers excellent insulation and air tightness, allowing for improved indoor air quality.
Wall framing
In construction, wall framing includes the vertical and horizontal elements of interior and exterior wall systems. Wall framing provides a durable, practical, lightweight structure for internal plasterboard walls, exterior cladding, and internal linings.
Roof frames and trusses
Roof frames and trusses are the structural backbone of a building's roof, meticulously engineered frameworks that provide stability and support while also shaping the character of the structure, whether with the classic symmetry of trusses or the intricate complexity of custom-designed frames.
The advantages of high-quality structural framing
High-quality structural framing is critical to the strength and stability of a structure, ensuring that it is resistant to weather, natural disasters, vibration, and unstable soils. It can also be constructed more rapidly and permits greater freedom in planning. With such an important component of any building, you can’t take any risks so prioritising quality is undeniably important.
How to choose structural framing that’s right for you
Choosing the right structural framing can depend on several factors. You may want to consider the location of your structure. Is it in a warm, temperate, or cold climate, or is it prone to significant weather events? You may also want to consider the cost of materials and labour and what structural framing suits your budget. Lastly, understanding the design load of your building is a must; larger structures like commercial buildings may require more robust framing, while smaller structures like homes or smaller commercial buildings may not require this.
