Very. Made from high-tensile G550 aluminium/zinc-coated steel, LGSF offers exceptional corrosion resistance and a long lifespan — even in extreme weather or design conditions. It also stays straight and true, avoiding common timber issues such as warping, twisting, or shrinking.
FAQs about Balustrade & Parapet Framing
Yes. Steel frames are naturally resistant to termites, borers, and fungus — with no need for chemical treatments or insecticides. They satisfy the National Construction Code requirements for termite-resistant materials.
In some regions, additional barriers may be required to protect other building materials on the project.
In many cases, yes. Pre-fabrication and lightweight components make installation faster and more efficient. Benefits include:
- Reduced on-site adjustments or straightening
- Easier handling
- Shorter build times and lower labour costs
This efficiency is a major reason project managers and builders increasingly prefer steel framing
No, we specialise in the pre-fabrication of light gauge steel framing alternatives. However, we work in partnership with multiple contractors to provide complete solutions for our clients. We can recommend preferred contractors for this service.
Yes, all our framing systems are signed off by registered engineers and are compliant with engineering certification to Australian code specifications.
As all of our framing is highly customised to suit your project requirements, we don’t have a one size fits all pricing approach. Each project is individually reviewed on their own merits to meet specific site and design requirements.
Please contact us on 1300 782 950 or email sales@cortekframing.com.au to discuss your project – we will put together a detailed quotation explaining the scope of the project, engineering details as required and mark-up plans.
