Zebrano Granny Flat Sydney makes exclusive use of steel frames in all their projects, whether its granny flat in Sydney, or prestige homes in Melbourne or even for low cost housing in outback Northern Territory.
We choose to use this system in our projects because the advantages over Timber or any other framing alternative are considerable and impressive.
Q. WHY DO PEOPLE DECIDE TO BUILD WITH STEEL?
A. Steel is a far better product, especially if your focus is on long term investment. The advantages are that it’s very light and yet very strong, it’s always straight, it is non-combustible, it’s impervious to termites and other destructive borer proof and it will not shrink or warp. Steel framing has the durability and the structural integrity to easily outlive the life of your building. In any other industry if strength and integrity is required they use STEEL, not timber. It is perfect product for frame work.
Carpenters love timber because that’s what they know. A carpenter will tell you that timber is better, but upon analysis, that opinion is more often than not based on emotional factors. It’s true that a carpenter loves timber like a restaurant chef loves his preferred cooking ingredients.
Which brings us to the next question.
Q. WHO IS ABLE TO ERECT A STEEL FRAME?
A. Any builder or Owner-builder can use steel frames. The lightweight panels are easily handled and clearly labeled for site erection. In contrast, timber is three times the weight. Roof trusses are also identified , labeled and easily secured to support walls. Ceiling and roof battens are easily fixed to the trusses. There is much less complication than may be initially apparent. In fact, once a builder becomes familiar with using steel frames, he will always appreciate the exactness of the product. There’s never any need to trim to fit, which is often the case when using Timber.
Q. HOW DOES STEEL FRAMING ALLOW FOR THE FOLLOW-ON TRADES-PERSON?
A. All steel frames have studs and plates which have pre-punched holes to make it simple and easy for cable and plumbing installation. In addition, grommets are fitted to protect the cable sheathing and to isolate copper pipes from the steel frames. This system also resists water hammer noise, which is always a problem when using timber. The move towards lighter gauge steel and boxed stud sections in the frame allows for new nailing techniques or needle point screws. Bricklayers will have no problems, as the brick ties are simply able to be clipped into the stud.
Q. WHAT ARE THE NOISE ISSUES WITH STEEL FRAMES?
A. All wall framing materials can be susceptible to noise, which is mainly the result of expansion and contraction, which is the consequence of thermal, humidity or general aging and weathering. These dimensional changes in building components release the stored energy by generating noise. However, Steel framing is only susceptible to thermal changes. It isn’t affected by humidity, and as far as aging is concerned, steel frames will easily outlive the rest of the structure. Thermal expansion and contraction is a slow process within the wall and roof cavity over the period of a day and is generally less intrusive than other conventional building materials.
Q. DOES THE EXPANSION AND CONTRACTION RATE OF STEEL AFFECT PLASTERBOARD?
A. Steel has a similar expansion coefficient with that of plasterboard, which means that incidences of cracking are rare. However, it is always a possibility, which is why Zebrano Granny Flat Sydney and in other areas which experience wide variations in daytime and nighttime temperatures, has the very best insulation systems included.
Q. IS STEEL FRAMING SAFTER THAN TIMBER WHEN EXPOSED TO AN ELECTRICAL LIVE WIRE?
A. It may come as a complete surprise, but yes, steel frames are actually safer than timber when it comes to electricity hazards! All Zebrano Granny Flat Sydney, as with modern homes in general come with safety switches. In the incidence of any contact with steel by a wire, a short will be creates which will trip the circuit breaker or safety switch. There is little to no chance at all of someone accidentally touching a live item. In contrast, a damaged, broken or pierced wire in a timber frame can remain alive indefinitely. Many house fires are caused by faulty wiring.
Q. CAN LIGHTNING AFFECT A STEEL FRAME MORE THAN A TIMBER FRAME?
A. Again, the answer is somewhat surprising. Because the steel creates a positive earth, the lightning has far less affect. In the event of a lightning strike, the energy is allowed to be transferred straight to the ground, and is not dissipated destructively as in conventional framing or cladding. Thus, it’s actually safer to be inside a dwelling with steel frames.
Q. IS THERE ANY APPROVAL ISSUES WHEN IT COMES TO LOCAL COUNCIL AND MORTGAGE LENDERS?
A. Not at all. Steel frames have been used for many years now, and because they conform to all relevant Australian Standards, they are treated by the various authorities in the same way that timber framed houses.
Q. WILL A STEEL FRAME HOME APPEAR DIFFERENT?
A. In many cases, the answer is yes…they actually look better! Upon close inspection, timber framed dwellings often have ripples or bumps in the ceilings and roofs. No such issues exist with Steel Frames. No sagging roof lines, no “nail pops” in the plasterboard and no shrinkage problems in intermediate floor joists. That’s because steel framing is exacting in dimensions making it straight and true.
Building your Granny Flat in Sydney and surrounding areas with Zebrano means that you will get a top quality product at all times, with steel frames providing the best backbone available.
