Why framing made from TRUECORE® steel benefits construction

Builders today demand construction processes and technology that help deliver projects more efficiently and within shorter time frames.

Lightweight and strong for easy on-site installation

Because of its impressive strength to weight ratio, prefabricated framing made from TRUECORE® steel can be managed and installed on-site by a small team. Light gauge steel framing can be quick and efficient to install, even on sites with limited access.

Precision engineered, no twisting or warping

TRUECORE® steel will not warp, twist or shrink and the framing may be prefabricated in a controlled environment. After installation, framing made from TRUECORE® steel remains straight and will not require time and effort to correct sagging or bowing.

Ideal for the repetitive nature of townhouse construction

Framing made from TRUECORE® steel is now backed by a knowledge base that lends itself perfectly to the repetitive nature of structural assemblies, wall panels and roof trusses involved in multi-dwelling applications. Fixed budgets, tight project schedules, limited on-site access and reduced space to store construction materials are all challenges that can be overcome with advanced, off-site prefabrication.

How builders use TRUECORE® steel to streamline townhouse projects

“The sheer volume of work and construction speed required to complete the works meant that light gauge steel framing and party walls were the far superior solution.”
