Protecting your largest asset
With a home typically being a family's largest asset, home buyers across Victoria are turning to steel building frames to help protect their houses in the long-term.
Offering a modern, strong and termite proof building material, home buyers in Victoria are finding peace of mind in steel house frames, which help to ensure the core of their homes remain structurally sound in the years to come.
According to JG King Homes, a leading Victorian building company that offers steel building frames, confidence in a house's life time performance is an increasingly important factor for home buyers keen to protect their investment.
“When people look for their dream homes they look for style, suitability, affordability, but also how it will hold up in the long-term,” explains John King Jr from JG King Homes. “Steel is the only framing material with a 50-year warranty*, and with a purchase this important to a family, that is an important consideration.”
Made of TRUECORE® steel, recently launched by BlueScope Steel, steel building frames are extremely durable and won't burn, rot, warp or twist over time. Also, they can't be eaten by termites.
In addition to the protection they give to the core of the house, steel building frames made from TRUECORE® steel have a high strength to weight ratio meaning homeowners can have large spanned rooms and great design flexibility. This especially complements contemporary housing designs, which promote open plan living and featured ceilings as bulkheads.
And, once a family moves in, building frames made from TRUECORE® steel can help avoid other difficulties too. “Because of their added strength they won't sag or twist over time,” explains Greg Jones, Market Development Manager at BlueScope Steel, “which reduces the chances of cracked cornices, jamming windows and doors, and wavy roof lines that can spoil the experience of owning a new house for many.”
Also of great importance is the fact that steel building frames offer a very 'future considerate' solution. Steel is one of the most recycled materials on earth and all steel made by BlueScope Steel includes recycled steel in its manufacture. At the end of their service life, house frames made from TRUECORE® steel can be recycled to make new frames, which is good for the environment.
JG King Homes has thirty two display homes across Victoria where interested home buyers can see just what can be achieved with steel building frames and the design flexibility it allows.
“Because of the growing popularity of steel building frames we are very excited by the launch of TRUECORE® steel, which will further raise awareness amongst home buyers in Victoria of the benefits it offers. This presents a great opportunity for homeowners and subsequently a good one for our business too! Essentially, it is a fantastic product for giving families peace of mind,” concludes John King Jr. “and this is central to our company philosophy. We build for life, for your family life!”
