Steel Framing Systems

Steel framing systems (SFS) have become one of the most popular and widely used solutions in construction. SFS is a structural facade system which is extremely versatile and can be used in a wide range of building types. It speeds up construction and the use of steel means high quality that is cost effective.

SFS contractors Lynco have a proven track record within the construction industry,

specialising in steel framing systems and metsec SFS. From design to installation we have an extensive knowledge in a variety of available systems. Choose us and we promise to achieve your design needs without compromise.

What is SFS?

Steel framing is a time efficient dry build method which works by fixing a moisturise resistant cover to the external wall. The SFS infill sits between the primary structural frame providing insulation, exterior cladding and in-side boarding. Typically, the steel framing is supplied as cold-rolled galvanised sections which can be assembled using screwed connections. Components can also be constructed to individual lengths or they may be cut to suit on site.

SFS is becoming increasingly popular as a viable alternative to traditional block-work and brick-work.  The biggest benefit being that they eliminate long construction times and are fully cost effective. Another reason to opt for SFS infill is that it provides lateral support to cladding materials such as metal sheets, panels and insulated render systems. The steel framing is also extremely resistant to dampness and water meaning it won’t damage or degrade over time.

Metsec SFS is both suitable for low and high rise projects and is quickly becoming the chosen method by structural engineers in many commercial projects. At Lynco, our SFS contractors are fully trained to offer design of SFS/Metsec in accordance with all of your requirements.
