Timber or light steel: both framing systems enable fast and high-performance off-site construction. Their differences lie in material stability, durability, and manufacturing precision.
Stability: Galvanized steel does not deform with humidity, does not swell, and does not twist. Walls remain straight over time, which limits finish cracks.
Durability: Steel is impervious to insects, fungi, and rot. The zinc-magnesium coating ensures long-lasting protection against corrosion. It is incombustible and infinitely recyclable.
Precision: Each profile is produced to the millimetre based on the digital model (BIM). Openings for utilities are integrated during manufacturing, which speeds up the work of electricians and plumbers.
Weight: A light steel frame is very lightweight for its strength, ideal for extensions or difficult ground conditions.
Key Considerations: Thermal bridges are addressed through continuous external insulation, and acoustics through adapted systems — controlled solutions that our engineers integrate from the design stage.
