| Why does McCracken Homes use steel frame construction? |
| • |
 Steel has a long life and is trouble free. Steel frames are shrinkage free - no sticking door and window jambs or cracking cornices. Walls, ceilings, and roofs stay straight and true, making it easy to align future extensions. |
|
| • |
Steel enables more flexibility in the design. It's structural strength allows for excellent spanning ability, a natural for today's wide open living spaces. Whatever your design, steel framing suits both concrete slab and subfloor construction and it's ideal for those steep, hilly sites. Steel-framed homes are electrically safe, designed so that any electrical leakage is conducted safely straight to the ground. |
| • |
Steel is naturally termite, borer and dry-rot proof. It is free from the toxic chemical treatments often used to protect other framing systems. |
|
| • |
Steel does not burn. Naturally non-combustible steel products are widely used in high fire risk applications. |
|
| • |
Steel is easy to handle and install. Wall panels and roof trusses are clearly labeled for on-site assembly. Electrical and plumbing service holes can be pre-punched. Compatible with your choice of floor, wall, ceiling and roof materials. |
 |
| • |
Steel is recyclable. Steel-framing is the right choice for the environment because it is 100% recyclable. |
| • |
Steel frame technology is backed by experts. Steel-framing specialists supply fully engineered and builder friendly steel frames throughout Australia. Increasing numbers of builders are building steel-framed homes. Steel-framing systems are also available in kit form. |
| • |
Steel is affordable. Innovative steel frame technology means pricing is competitive with other quality framing systems |
| • |
Steel house framing comes with a warranty. A 50 year warranty (conditions apply) accompanies ZINCALUME® steel used in steel house framing. |
| • |
Is there really any other option? None that makes so much sense on so many different levels. Once you've experienced the ultimate framing system you'll understand what we mean by 'peace of mind'.
