Steel Framing Systems (SFS)
QUALITY-FOCUSED PROJECT MANAGEMENT, FROM A TEAM OF EXPERTS
Steel Framing Systems (SFS)
Design, Supply & Installation
We provide high-performance steel framing systems (SFS) for commercial and residential buildings.
Our lightweight steel solutions deliver speed, strength, and versatility for internal and external wall
framing. From design to installation, we ensure your project benefits from the efficiency and reliability of SFS.
What Are Steel Framing Systems (SFS)?
SFS (steel framing systems) are lightweight, cold-rolled steel solutions used for constructing internal
and external walls, infill panels, and load-bearing elements. They are a modern alternative to traditional
blockwork, offering significant benefits in construction speed and design flexibility.
Benefits of SFS include:
Faster installation compared to traditional methods
High strength-to-weight ratio for versatile design
Excellent thermal and acoustic performance
Precision-engineered for accuracy and consistency
Reduced on-site labour and material waste

Why Choose Steel Framing Systems?
SFS provides a modern method of construction (MMC) that reduces
project timelines, improves quality, and lowers costs compared to traditional
methods. Our expertise ensures that every steel frame we deliver is safe,
compliant, and built to last.
Steel Framing System Costs & Considerations
The cost of SFS installation depends on:
. Whether it’s infill or load-bearing SFS
. Size and complexity of the building
. Integration with cladding, curtain walling, or internal fit-out
. Design and engineering requirements
While upfront costs may vary, SFS often reduces overall
project spend by cutting installation times and minimising waste.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between infill and load-bearing SFS?
Infill systems are non-load-bearing and typically used behind façades, while load-bearing SFS supports the structural loads of the building.
Is SFS energy-efficient?
Yes. SFS systems can incorporate insulation and achieve excellent thermal performance.
Can steel framing systems replace traditional blockwork?
Absolutely. SFS is faster, lighter, and often more cost-effective than blockwork.
Do you provide design and compliance support?
Yes, we offer full design, engineering, and certification for all SFS projects, often in conjunction with the rainscreen cladding package
