EPD: Purlins and framing from cold rolled steel, Metsec Decarb (Voestalpine)
Metsecs journey to carbon neutrality has led to the introduction of a supplementary product range to our current offerings – Metsec Decarb. Metsec`s Purlin and Framing Divisions Metsec Decarb offers our existing product range including: Purlins roof systems and side rails SFS Framing - Infill walling, load bearing structures, continuous and high bay walling Metframe - pre-panelized off-site framing system All with a lower carbon footprint. Purlins Roof systems and side rails: The Metsec Zed purlin, Metsec Z and C section product range consists of a fully compatible range of profiles made from cold rolled steel in depths ranging from 142mm to 342mm deep. In addition, products come with a wide range of compatible accessories and can be supplied for the majority of cladding types and designs. SFS Framing - Infill Walling: The most common application for Metsec SFS is infill walling. In this scenario the Metsec is constructed from the floor to soffit of the primary structural frame to ‘infill` the external wall zone. This option is typically the most economical solution and allows the SFS to be installed from the inside of the building. SFS Framing Load bearing structures: Load bearing structures make use of the axial capacity of the Metsec SFS studs, with studs designed as a series of columns to provide complete load bearing wall panels. Joists are provided to produce the floor and roof construction. These structures are typically ‘stick built` on site, which ensures maximum flexibility of the structure to suit site requirements. This flexibility makes load bearing structures ideally suited to penthouses or high level inset structures where it is important to keep the loads to a minimum. They also benefit from reduced crane and transport costs, when compared to pre-panelized solutions. SFS Continuous Walling: Continuous walling is where the SFS is designed so that it ‘over-sails` the edge of the primary structure. This method is often used when a design team wants to maximize the amount of internal floor area or if they are using a cladding which cannot accommodate horizontal deflection joints at each floor level. Continuous walling is typically constructed from the outside of the building. SFS High Bay Walling: High bay walls are similar to infill walls, except they are used internally to provide high separating walls for factory units or atriums. As they are often constructed within hot rolled steel portal frames, the amount of primary frame deflection that needs to be accommodated can be much greater than required for infill panels and bespoke details are typically provided to suit project requirements. Metframe - pre-panelized off site framing system: The system uses studs in the same way as load bearing SFS, except they are bolted together off-site to form panels. The incorporation of heavier gauge studs and the bespoke designs allow structures to be constructed up to 15 storeys in height. Metframe structures can incorporate steel joisted or concrete floors, depending on the client`s requirements. Joisted floors will offer a much lighter structure, but concrete floors generally provide a higher level of acoustic and fire protection. Pitched, dormer or flat roofs can be readily incorporated in Metframe structures as well as balconies, cantilevers, insets etc. The Metframe system can also be a solution for those needing light-gauge steel frames as they can be tailored to meet your requirements while utilizing cold-formed material to still make construction processes smoother Fire Rating Classification = A1 Yield Strength:- 450N/mm^2 minimum Tensile Strength:- 510 N/mm^2 minimum Density 7.85 g/cm^3 Minimum Elongation A80(%) = 14% Zinc Coating 275g/mm^2 and 600g/mm^2 as per customer requirements Accessories Fire Rating Classification = A1 Yield Strength:- 350N/mm^2 minimum Tensile Strength:- 420 N/mm^2 minimum Density 7.85 g/cm^3 Minimum Elongation A80(%) = 16% Zinc Coating 275g/mm^2 and 600g/mm^2 as per customer requirements For more information contact +44 (0) 121 601 6000 Customer support Metsec Purlins and Side rail contact: metsec.Purlins@voestalpine.com Metsec SFS contact: metsec.SFS@voestalpine.com Metframe - pre-panelized off site framing system: metsec.metframe@voestalpine.com
