Battens and purlin rafters

Roof battens

Steel ceiling battens

Associated fixings, fasteners and brackets
We manufacture a proprietary range of brackets and fixings to ensure our steel frames and trusses are absolutely secure. These small, but crucial components add up to creating versatile and strong buildings. We can supply and deliver the following components from our Atherton Tablelands manufacturing plant:

Self-drilling screws

Cleats

Brackets

Cast in plates

Hold down bolts

Structural steel
We manufacture a range of structural steel components and can supply and deliver the following components:

Patio beams and posts

Carport beams and posts

Veranda beams, posts and rafters

Floor stumps, bearers and bracing

Floor joists

Steel inline floor systems
Although our steel frames work well with concrete slab foundations, we also manufacture all the components for a steel sub floor system. These floors are suspended off the ground, making them ideal for sloping and rough-terrain sites.

We can supply cost-effective floor system to suit the slope of your land. Using a suspended system reduces the need to cut into the site, which saves you on earthmoving costs. Like all steel frame building components, the sub floor system is termite proof and doesn’t shrink or warp.
Steel trusses
Ensure your next construction is built to last with our precision-engineered steel roof trusses. At our Atherton Tablelands plant, we have the capability of manufacturing a variety of different shaped trusses to meet the client’s needs. This allows architects to design larger open living areas without compromising structural strength. Steel trusses have a number of other advantages over traditional timber designs, including:

Lightweight, therefore eliminating the use of cranes on-site

Durable

Faster and easy to install which leads to cost savings

Non-combustible

Termite and whiteant proof

Electrically safer

Steel wall frames
At Superior Steel Frames, we specialise in creating economically and environmentally friendly steel frame building components. Our fully computerised manufacturing plant produces wall frames to suit your specific designs and applications. The steel wall frames meet the Australian standards and the cyclonic building code.

Our steel frames are accurately prefabricated at our workshop in accordance with detailed engineering drawings. Cutting and wastage on-site are reduced to a minimum. The ease of construction minimises on-site labour cost, which in turn saves you money.
