Wall Frames

 

 

Steel Wall Frames Information

Custom Steel Frames has developed a range of customised studwork options for housing and commercial purposes following extensive trials, testing, and field research.

We use precision machinery to roll-form the pieces to the necessary lengths and then weld them together in precise jigs to ensure maximum strength.

Our frames can reach lengths of up to 7.5 meters and come in panels sized for convenient handling, transportation, and rapid Tek-screw assembly, reducing the necessity for multiple joins.

 

Available in 75mm, 90mm and 150mm Stud Sizes

 

Our studwork options include widths of 75mm, 90mm and 150mm, available in both 1.0mm and 1.2mm thick Bluescope Truecore® material, either plain or lipped sections. These are roll-formed separately in dedicated machines within our modern wall frame production plant.

 

We particularly favor the 75mm studwork for its cost-effectiveness and ability to accommodate additional hollow steel members. When extra strength is required to withstand building pressures and loads our custom steel frames rise to the challenge.

 

For individuals who prefer thicker walls resembling “4×2 timber studs,” and for specific commercial and architectural purposes, we provide the 90mm studwork as part of our diverse range of wall options, catering to various preferences and needs.

 

New Generation Noggingless Wall Frames

 

Our latest innovation introduces the noggingless lipped stud framing. This advanced system provides ultimate economy, ease of construction, and future versatility, all while maintaining the strength and essential design features of conventional stud, plate, and nogging frames. Furthermore, this design enables quick and safe through traffic during construction and facilitates easy installation of future services into walls without encountering any nogging obstacles.

 

Standard Inclusions with Custom Steel Wall Frames

 

Additionally, our steel wall frames come with various standard features. These include punched service holes, welded bracing, double stud junctions, trussed heads for openings, a bath recess for flush fitting, and numbering on each end in accordance with an assembly plan, which streamlines on-site assembly. Moreover, load-bearing walls are equipped with a stiffened top plate to accommodate trusses in any position, thus ensuring straightforward installation.

 

Various factors are meticulously considered by our wall designers, including stud spacing, thickness, height, opening sizes, eaves position relative to openings, brick gauge, bracing requirements, load points, floor and ceiling profiles, lining materials, and specific job requirements.

 

Ease of Assembly

 

Putting together Custom Steel Frames wall frames on-site is simple. Our process involves screwing the custom steel frames together and firmly attaching them to the floor using nails, Dynabolts, or screws. Additionally, making on-site additions, adjustments, or fixes is easily achievable using wafer Tek screws or a portable gasless MIG welder.
