Aged care facilities
Structural framing made from TRUECORE® steel provides the flexibility of design that can support modern, open-plan living that takes in natural surrounds and light.
How framing made from TRUECORE® steel benefits our aging citizens
Having transitioned from the comfort of their own homes, many aged care residents look for facilities that support their health, wellbeing and social interaction, whilst providing access to a domestic living experience.
Light, strong, and termite proof
With a high strength-to-weight performance, framing made from TRUECORE® steel supports open spaces for dining and meeting rooms, which promotes a highly valued community feel. Additionally, TRUECORE® steel does not require insecticides to make it termite proof, a feature which is highly valued by both facility owners and residents.
Prefabricated off-site for a fast, efficient build
Digital design and off-site prefabrication can factor in items such as safety, PWD rails, wheelchair access and TV recesses right from the start, minimising on-site delays and mistakes. Easy to transport and manage, even with constrained access sites, light weight framing made from TRUECORE® steel is exceptionally fast to install on-site.
A precision build that’s also quicker for follow-on trades
Structural framing made from TRUECORE® steel has the added benefit of being precision made in a controlled environment and will remain straight and true when installed. Framing can be delivered to site with pre-punched service holes, allowing plumbers and electricians to feed services through the framing without the need for drilling and cutting.
How builders are providing timely care for our ageing population
“We are thrilled with the building speed achieved through the adoption of light gauge steel (LGS) framing. Choosing steel has more than paid for itself in construction time savings.”
Designed and prefabricated off site, read how framing made from TRUECORE® steel allows a critical aged care facility to be built on schedule and on budget.
