Hey all,

I was told about a news article about the first house being rebuilt in Traralgon in Steel Framing.

Did anybody tape the news last night?

Could you host it somewhere?

Did anyone see the story?

All help appreciated.

Cheers

Pete

dude, the last thing you want in a house is steel framing, they started doing it in the 90s, then stopped because it was just stupid, when a frame is made out of steel, in the summer, or winter depending on temperatures, all you hear all day is creeking and expansion noises from the steel, its a poo idea i say. pooo

Steel has been used for framing for a long time now. It has many advantages over alternative materials such as being 100% termite resistant, consistent in strength and allows design flexabilty over alternative material for this reason. stays straight etc

Steel will expand and contract no different to alternative building materials so very unlikely it would be noiser. I have never heard my steel garage make a noise yet after 6 years. Have spent a fair bit of time in their too much like many of the members here im sure. lol

makes alot of sense building with steel these days.

Sorry mate but you are clearly uneducated and ill informed about this.

Steel Houses DO NOT CREAK. This has been proven bu the CSIRO and was found to be no more than a myth perpetrated by the timber to protect market share.

Steel is recycleable. Timber is not. Of ALL the steel possible to be recycled in Australia, 80% is, and of that 80%, 95% is actually recycled and turned into new steel. We dig the iron ore up once, turn it into steel once, and then re-use if for the next 100,000 years.

Timber converts a lot of Cardon Di-Oxide to Oxygen during it's grow process, and then releases all that carbon back into the atmosphere as it degrades over the next 50 years. AVerage life span of a galvanised steel house frame..... 800 years. As proven in accelerated scientific tests.

To protect timber from Termites and/or Rot you need to treat it with harsh chemicals, how knows what they are doing to people..... Remember Asbestos?

RBPOWA, The blue coating on the "TrueCore" material is simply a blue ink/tint in the final Chromate layer. It's simply a branding exercise, and that steel (Bluescope's ZincAlume) is not actually 100% correct for use in Steel Framing, normal Z275 Gal is better, as you don't need to use a membrane underneath the steel on concrete slabs. Having said that though, in the vast majority of cases, it's no problem to do this.

New?

Haven't JG King been using Steel frames in every one of their houses for nearly 10years?

Pretty sure that if the frame creaked, they would have reverted back to wood.

I am sure there are other builders that use steel as well.

Correct.

Steel Framing has been used exclusivly by JG Kings for many many years.

Steel is slowly gaining share over timber as the public are educated into it's un-questionable advantages over timber.
