Steel Framing Systems
Steel Framing Systems (SFS) provide a modern method of construction for external wall applications, infill framing and loadbearing structures. SFS offers excellent strength-to-weight performance, speed of installation and compatibility with a wide range of façade and sheathing systems.
National Drylining supplies a range of SFS solutions supported by tested fire performance data, technical guidance and nationwide delivery.

Important Information
The systems displayed are intended as a guide to tested constructions and should not be taken as project-specific design advice. Fire performance depends upon the complete wall build-up, materials, installation methods and project requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Infill and Loadbearing SFS?
Infill SFS is typically installed between structural frame elements, whereas loadbearing SFS contributes directly to the structural performance of the building.
Can SFS achieve 120 minutes fire resistance?
Yes. Specific tested wall constructions are available depending upon the wall build-up and board specification.
Can National Drylining provide design support?
Yes. Our technical team can assist with quotations, drawings and project requirements.
