Light-weight steel framing is one of the preferred forms of building in the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand and is becoming ever popular in Europe as well. Light-weight steel framing is based on a typical timber framed structure, but has all the added benefits of being non-flammable, structurally sound, doesn’t shrink or warp, not subjected to termites etc. Light-weight steel framed building has been in existence for over 50 years, and so therefore is not a new form of building, but one that is well documented with hundreds of thousands of buildings having been erected globally.
