Benefits for the Builder
- Avro Steel Frames & Trusses are fast and easy to erect following basic construction principles and, being pre-fabricated with modern fastening techniques, make construction simple.
- Computer control of the machinery used in manufacture ensure that the frames and trusses are millimetre perfect. A wall frame that is supposed to be 4985 mm long is precisely that - not 4984 or 4986 mm.
- Swaging of connection areas and dimpling of screw holes ensures that your plasterer has a flat surface to work with.
- The follow-on trades have the benefit of pre-punched holes for plumbing and electrical services thereby greatly reducing drilling.
- Steel frames stay straight. They will not twist, warp, sag or shrink.
- You can have more homes underway at the same time. The weather will not alter the frame quality.
- You will not have the costs of straightening a weather affected frame to prepare for plaster.
- Steel frames are 100% termite proof.
- Steel frames are much lighter than timber, yet provide greater strength, so you can run smaller teams on site.
- Every steel frame is engineered to perform for life.
Benefits for the Home Owner
- Using an Avro Steel Frame & Truss system is the best way to protect your home against termite damage and also for your family, as no harmful chemicals have to be used.
- The frames and trusses are non-combustible. They will not shrink, warp or rot.
- Steel frames and trusses offer you greater design freedom. Steel frames and trusses are ideally suited for use in contemporary homes using open plan designs.
- All steel framing is 100% recyclable. Currently 60% of all steel made in Australia is made from scrap metal. A standard steel framed house can be made by recycling approximately 6 cars.
- The use of BlueScope steel gives you peace of mind. BlueScope Steel Limited is one of Australia's largest companies. BlueScope provides a 50 year warranty against rust and corrosion. BlueScope backs all frames and trusses produced by us.
