Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What are the advantages of building with steel?
A. Steel is light and strong, does not burn, is termite and borer proof and is dimensionally stable - it will not shrink or warp. Using steel is also environmentally responsible. Walls and ceilings tend not to have ripples or bumps in them, there are no "nail pops" in plasterboard walls, no shrinkage in floor framing and no sagging roofs.
