EPD: Steel purlins and framing, 7850 kg/m3 (Voestalpine Metsec plc)

Metsec’s Building Products manufacture of Products for the construction industry including: Purlins roof systems and side rails SFS Framing - Infill walling, load bearing structures, continuous and high bay walling Metframe - pre-panelised off site framing system 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
