STEEL FRAME:
|
References about the system: |
Steel Frame is a lightweight construction system which does not require heavy machinery to be handled and it is said to be an “open system” since it allows any kind of external and internal finishes.
This last-generation system is the evolution of the “ballon frame American System” used for wooden structures which have been in use for many years now.

Open System |
This System is said to be open because it can be combined with other materials within the same structure, or it can also be used as the only structural component.
This system is used in high buildings to make internal divisions and for the secondary framing of facades. As regards buildings, the system adequates perfectly well to all requirements and existing needs related to partition walls. For construction of houses and low buildings, it can be used as the only structural material and the base for sidewalls and facades.

Comfort and Energy-saving features |
Steel Frame System provides a more efficient way of assembling insulation, instalations and any other item related to the construction. All this works in the benefit of a greater comfort .

|
Resources optimization |
As it is lightweighted, the system provides the possibility of a quick erection sequence of the house, panels and their after assembling. These characteristics influence the way of taking advantage of materials and the labor force since planification is easier and precise, allowing us to comply with economic and time aims.
Repairs are very simple and detection of problems, as leakage of pipes, can be immediately resolved.

Durability |
The Steel Framing system uses inert and noble material as galvanised steel which makes the construction last throughout the years.

|
|
Galvanised steels is 100% recyclable. |

Recycling |
The Conposition of the steel produced nowadays includes more than a 60 % of recycled steel, thus, from an ecological point of view, recycled steel is characterised as a very efficient material.
Some considerations to be taken into account as regards steel:
Galvanised steel in Argentina with a standar coating 7275, has all appropirate characteristics for a marine weather. This protection implies providing stronger barriers or defenses against corrosion due to any kind of humidity leakage.
Galvanised steel is a non flammable material which has great resistence against fire. Protected with inert materials, fire resistance values increase to levels comparable with those of traditional construction systems also called wet systems.
Galvanised steel is not attacked by termites, or any other insects leaving, at the same time, place for the required insulation.
