Steel Framing Systems or SFS are a load bearing walling system, it is fixed together on-site and is made from galvanized light weight steel sections. The system provides a carrier for insulation, exterior cladding and interior wall boards. SFS is manufactured to tight tolerances to reduce waste; it is very versatile which allows the installer to overcome deviations on site.
As a designer and approved installer of the main SFS systems, M. Clarke’s have the advantage of working with these total and fully engineered tested solutions. Benefits of using SFS include:
- Fast Track Construction
- Reduced maintenance and less material wastage
- Can be used across all building types, especially suited to large commercial, public and residential projects
- Early weather protection to the building
- Lightweight, dry construction
- Pre-fabrication on or off site
- Achieves high thermal and acoustic performance
- Gives lateral support to most external cladding materials
- Minimises wet trades on site
