An experienced carpenter and builder has taken to social media to demonstrate the speed and effi ciency of installing West Fraser’s CaberDek, as well as the manufacturers terling ero. teve ayes commented The terling ero is being used to conform to the structural engineers reuirements.

Steel frame sections are well recognised amongst architects for offering excellent light transmission, while the slender sightlines are also ideal for allowing windows to “bring the outdoors in.” However, contemporary systems available from members of the Steel Window Association can also play a pivotal role in infl uencing interior fi touts. The unexpected property boom from the pandemic included people adding extensions or improving their homes and saw SWA members responding to high demand for both classic and contemporary steel windows, doors and interior


screens. In fact, the latter has proved ideal for creating home offi ces or sub- dividing living spaces without signifi cantly cutting light reaching deep plan areas; while introducing an aesthetic often described as industrial but also sophisticated.
