Why should I build with steel?
For the long-term investment of your home steel is the product to use. It is lightweight and strong, won't burn, is termite and borer proof and won't shrink, warp or twist – so your home is maintained for the future.
Is building with steel more expensive than timber?
No. The latest, innovative frame technology means steel frame homes are competitively priced with other quality framing systems.
Are steel frame homes safe?
Every JG King home comes with a 50 year warranty from TRUECORE® steel, so you have peace of mind your low-maintenance home stays stronger for longer – building a steel frame home is an investment in your future.
Do steel frame homes rust?
The steel we use has a protective zinc/aluminium coating ensuring excellent durability, even when used in roofing where it is exposed to the elements. At drill holes and cut edges, the galvanic action of the coating protects the exposed steel edge against corrosion.
Do steel frame homes still have termite issues?
Although steel frames without a termite barrier are a safe option to protect from termites, JG King Homes add a termite barrier to their steel frame homes. This means you are 100% protected from termites and have peace of mind that there will be no damage to your house structure.
Are steel frame homes better for the environment?
Our steel frame homes are made from 100% recyclable BlueScope steel, surpassing best environmental practices. Some timber frames are treated against pests and hazards with toxic chemicals – steel needs none of that.
Does a steel frame give me flexibility with the design?
Steel frame manufacturers and fabricators can produce almost any one or two storey home design seen in the Australian market today. Even better, it’s possible to produce designs in steel that are difficult to replicate using other materials. By taking advantage of this feature a homeowner can often build with less expense than by using more conventional materials.
