Five Advantages of Building with a TRUECORE®  Steel House Frame

A house frame is essentially the backbone of the home so it is important that it is built with a solid and reliable product. Historically, timber has led the way as the material of choice but the introduction of steel house frames has really shifted the needle. 

We've outlined five advantages of building your home with a TRUECORE® steel house frame.

Strong

Steel has a very high strength to weight ratio with regard to the conventional load bearing frame systems which means TRUECORE® steel house frames have incredible strength and durability. Being the bones of the home with which the remainder of the home is built upon, you can rely on TRUECORE® steel to stay strong for years and years to come. In fact, TRUECORE® steel provides a 50-year warranty for eligible applicants*.

Straight and True

TRUECORE® steel is prefabricated and dimensionally accurate which results in a seamless finish for your home - think straight and true lines that won’t change over time. In saying that, building with steel still allows for many design possibilities as a result of the strength to weight ratio.

Twist and Warp Proof

Steel frames do not warp, shrink, buckle or twist meaning that they will forever remain straight, and never change in size. This also means that there are less chances of sticking windows, jammed doors and wavy roof lines.

100% Termite Proof

TRUECORE® steel house frames are 100% termite and borer proof which is a massive advantage living here in Australia. Steel cannot be affected by termites and other pests like wood can. It is also less affected by elements such as fire and water, protecting your home better during natural disasters.

Efficient and Fast to Install

As TRUECORE® steel frames are pre-cut, they arrive on site all ready to be installed. Being a lightweight product, whilst maintaining inner strength, steel house frames are easy for builders to handle and maneuvre leading to a more efficient install. A single storey frame can be erected in a single day when using a TRUECORE® steel however this is dependent on the size of home, complexity of build and other variables.
