SFS stands for Steel Framing System, a highly-efficient, versatile construction solution comprising precision-engineered steel components in the form of studs, tracks, fixings and accessories.

 

SFS allows frames to be constructed remotely from the construction site and is particularly well-suited to offsite construction techniques which deliver the time and cost efficiencies associated with modern methods of construction.

SFS delivers benefits to all stages of the construction process, from design to installation, as well as providing the client with the opportunity to realise return on investment as early as possible.

Steel Framing Systems can be used in a wide variety of different structures, such as concrete or steel frames, with a wide variety of infill materials, from mineral board to architectural glazing, and for loadbearing and non-loadbearing situations.

The fact that SFS enables buildings to be finished and ready for occupation more quickly means that developers can start to realise these returns at an earlier stage than might be achievable through traditional construction methods.

 

In addition, SFS delivers a high degree of precision and is not subject to shrinking or creeping once installed, assuring a quality finish and reducing maintenance.

 

Also, steel is a non-combustible material, meaning it will not pose a fire risk.

 

An SFS structural framing system will ensure structural integrity when faced with extreme weather. While this weather poses a higher risk for larger buildings, having an SFS structure in place will provide stability and optimum protection.
