Frame Supply · Specifications
The specifications, plainly stated.
The steel
Galvanised light gauge steel, rolled to spec.
We roll cold-formed galvanised steel across the gauges and profiles that light gauge construction calls for — from 0.55 mm partition studs to 1.2 mm structural framing.
Profiles are formed to the millimetre and punched in-line for services, so what arrives on site matches the drawing and needs no cutting or measuring.
