Steel frame construction is the smart solution for property developers, contractors and private individuals interested in fast and efficient (prefab) construction. Discover the possibilities and advantages of our wonderful construction system here.
Steel frame construction is a revolutionary construction method in which buildings are made using lightweight, cold-formed steel C-profiles. These profiles form the basis for a building's walls, floors and roofs. This creates a steel skeleton, after which the building can be finished simply and quickly.
The specific dimensions are easily customisable, allowing almost any construction project to be realised using steel frame construction. All profiles are pre-fabricated and, thanks to their light weight, are easy to transport and assemble. This results in significantly shorter construction time on site.
Steel is a high-quality material produced to exacting standards. The design of cold-rolled steel profiles is governed by Eurocodes 3.
Steel frame construction is a revolutionary construction method in which buildings are made using steel structures. The specific dimensions are easily customisable, so almost any building project can be realised using steel frame construction.
Nowadays, there is a demand for sustainable and lighter construction. There is also a desire to build faster in order to reduce construction time and costs.
Ripstaal Steel framing is the point of contact for those looking for steel frames of the best quality. With more than 24 years of experience in the field of assembly building,
The construction process in steel frame construction consists of engineering, fabrication in the production hall, transport and assembly on site.
The steel-frame construction technique can be used to build unique prefabricated houses and also large quantities of terraced houses.
Increasingly, steel frame construction is seen as a better alternative to timber frame construction. Lighter in weight, more dimensionally stable thanks to shrink-proof materials, less sensitive to climatic influences and resistant to pests and fungi.
Prefabricated steel-frame construction offers many advantages. Compared to traditional construction methods, things work slightly differently. Therefore, please find below the frequently asked questions on building with our construction system.
At Ripstaal Steel Framing, we believe it is important to be involved in the design, production and installation of our steel profiles from start to finish. Thus, we do our best to realise your design with high-quality steel framing that stands the test of time.
Of course, the final cost of steel frame construction depends on the project for which this construction technique is used. For instance, not only the dimensions of the frames can be customised, but also the finishes. However, steel frame construction is a relatively cheap construction method. Thus, you save up to 30% on the structural costs. Are you curious about the possibilities with steel frame construction or the price of steel frame construction for your project? Then get in touch with Ripstaal Steel Framing. We will gladly prepare a no-obligation quotation for you, in which we calculate exactly what steel frame construction will cost for your intended project.
Every construction project requires a different approach. This depends not only on the style of the property, but also on the materials available and the amount of time the construction project may take. Is time scarce or are there few craftsmen who can assist in the construction? Then prefabricated building with steel frame construction offers a solution. For that, you've come to the right place at Ripstaal Steel Framing.
The preliminary process is always a bit more labour-intensive with prefabricated construction. To keep everything on track, more attention needs to be paid to engineering and the preliminary phase requires some extra drawing work. This extra time and attention easily pays off in the execution phase. After all, construction on the building site itself is many times faster. In both financial and practical terms, the advantages of steel frame construction far outweigh the disadvantages, especially when compared with traditional construction. In short, steel-frame construction is the ideal construction method.
Because the words are similar, the difference between the building systems steel frame construction and steel frame construction is not always obvious. Although steel accounts for the largest share in both building construction, the structures are not the same. For instance, steel-frame construction is often lightweight, unlike steel-frame construction. In addition, they consist of different joints (steel frame construction is welded and steel frame construction is assembled using self-tapping screws or nuts and bolts). For more information on the differences between these two building structures, feel free to call or email us.
This is a misconception. The steel frame actually insulates well and higher insulation values can be achieved compared to the same wall thickness in a traditional construction method.
Ripstaal supplies many steel frame constructions in the Netherlands and Belgium, but our steel frames are also shipped internationally.
