SFS

Sound Interiors are highly experienced Steel Framing System installers using a variety of Manufacturers such as Metsec, Hadley and Kingframe.

SFS is extremely versatile and it can be used to provide solutions to many different types of building construction. The most common application for SFS is infill walling.

Load bearing structures make use of the axial capacity of the SFS studs, with studs designed as a series of columns to provide complete load bearing wall panels. Joists are provided to produce the floor and roof construction. These structures are typically ‘stick built’ on site, which ensures maximum flexibility of the structure to suit site requirements. This flexibility makes load bearing structures ideally suited to penthouses or high level inset structures where it is important to keep the loads to a minimum. They also benefit from reduced crane and transport costs, when compared to pre-panelised solutions.

Continuous walling is where the SFS is designed so that it ‘oversails’ the edge of the primary structure. This method is often used when a design team wants to maximise the amount of internal floor area or if they are using a cladding which cannot accommodate horizontal deflection joints at each floor level. Continuous walling is typically constructed from the outside of the building.
