Steel profile manufacturing and installed steel frame structure

Instant Build manufactures both C and U sections in a range of different gauge steel and our Framecad 450it will roll galvanised steel from 0.7mm to 1.6mm thick and has a profile of a 100mm web and a 50mm flange height. With this state of the art manufacturing equipment we're able to comfortably roll lengths of up to 10m.

bottom plates

bottom plates

  • - Bottom plates are horizontal members fixed to the bottom of the studs and should be fully supported below load-bearing studs.
  • - Fixings through the bottom plate are used to secure frames to the floor.
k bracing

k bracing

  • - Steel K-bracing, formed with FRAMECAD frame sections as bracing in the line of wall frames, may be used to provide bracing resistance to walls.
  • - K-braces can be used to provide frame squaring and stiffness.
webbed joist

webbed joist

  • - The webbed floor joist is a lightweight steel truss consisting of parallel chords and a triangulated web system design.
  • - These are designed at various depths to span between support points to suit any sized project or build.
jamb studs

jamb studs

  • - Located either side of openings in the frame, jamb studs provide extra support for lintels above windows, doors and archways.
lintels

lintels

  • - Lintels are horizontal structures within a wall spanning between jamb studs over door and window openings.
nogging

nogging

  • - Nogging can either be a continuous length of C section with lip and web notches for the studs to pass through, or short pieces cut between the studs at alternate staggered heights.
top plates

top plates

  • - Top plates are horizontal members fixed to the top of the studs.
  • - On load-bearing walls carrying a light load, top plates can transfer loads from the roof to the studs where the studs are not located directly below the trusses.
