Industry ‘bible’ updated V
oestalpine Metsec has recently published the latest version of its Steel Framing Systems (SFS) Specification
Manual, the industry’s most comprehensive resource for professionals involved in the specification, installation and use of light gauge steel framing systems. Widely recognised as the industry bible
for SFS, the new 176-page manual is packed with just about every piece of information required to assure the successful design, specification, selection and application of voestalpine Metsec’s SFS, based on years of experience, expert technical knowledge and a vast library of independent testing. The manual is a perfect example of why voestalpine Metsec’s SFS light gauge galvanized steel structural framing systems have been successfully assessed to the Code for Construction Products Information (CCPI), introduced by the Construction Products Association.
The manual covers the principles of specifying steel framing systems for a project and the typical processes involved from design, through installation to final

An 18-month refurbishment and reconstruction project in Kent is set to create a cavernous basement showroom to house a private car collection in stunning and pristine conditions, where a selection of fully compatible products from the Wykamol-Triton range have been specifi ed to completely waterproof the subterranean structure, being built into steeply rising ground. The work on the house, in one of the most desirable districts of Royal Tunbridge Wells, is being carried out by London based Cosgove Design and Build with Structural Waterproofi ng Contracts being the specialist contractor employing the Wykamol-Triton products including the Sureproof Ultra bentonite carpet, laid across the formation level sub-soil. Then all of the ready-mix concrete is being batched with TT waterproofi ng admixture, while TT Swell Mastic and TT Waterstop will protect the joints along with Hydrafl ex Tanking Slurry. Finally, when the structure is complete, the manufacturer’s renowned CM8 cavity drain membrane will line the walls to direct any seepage into fl oor level channels, before the walls are covered by Gyplyner metal trays, insulation, Duplex boards and a hard wall plaster fi nish.

SFS against alternative performance indemnity,
It includes the benefits of building
standards,
systems, professional MetWALL Perform 30-year
warranty, project timeline, BIM design, CPD presentations and installer training. Following these broader considerations, the manual features detailed information on the major applications of SFS in infill walling, load bearing situations, continuous walling and high bay walling. Each application area contains detailed information on relevant performance criteria and the use of SFS with popular sheathing and cladding materials, including fire performance data based on full independent testing.
This is illustrated
with high quality architectural drawings showing typical wall build-ups and case studies featuring prestigious projects which demonstrate the successful application of SFS in residential, education, health, leisure and commercial situations. The manual provides the reader with what is probably the most detailed appreciation of steel framing systems in general and,
of course, voestalpine Metsec’s renowned SFS in particular. voestalpine Metsec’s new Steel Framing Systems (SFS) Specification Manual is available for download from the company’s website.
