BW Industries SureBUILD - Framing Systems

The SureBUILD light gauge steel framing is a sophisticated load bearing wall framing system that offers fast erection and completion and also increased stability and durability. It is ideal for off-site construction, house building and multi-storey applications. Fully load-bearing and non-load bearing options are available, and we can provide in-house design and drawing facilities. Complete with fully-integrated 3D CAD/CAM design software by Vertex Systems and combined with the production facilities and the experience of BW Industries, this product offers performance, predictability and design flexibility.

Vertex Building Design (BD) is an advanced Building Information Modelling (BIM) software package for cold-rolled steel framed construction. Utilising BIM technology, this stand-alone software maximises productivity and accuracy by generating wall panel drawings, material reports and manufacturing data all from one source. To save on design time, wall framing drawings are automatically produced, with every component having a unique identification number. Once the design is complete, manufacturing data is transferred directly from the VertexBD software to the BW Industries SureBUILD rolling line where each part is rolled and printed with its unique number.

The components produced offer a flush finish panel, and the sections can be pre-punched to offer service slots or holes to suit your individual application.

• BW Industries SureBUILD sections are supplied in two standard widths of 75mm and 100mm
• Gauges for the 75mm section comprise 1.0, 1.2 and 1.5mm
• Gauges for the 100mm section comprise 1.2, 1.5 and 2.0mm (2mm from a lesser yield)
• Used for load bearing applications
• Full stand-alone structural system
• Eliminates the need for hot rolled steel or a concrete primary frame
• Swaging of the vertical studs allows for a flush finish wall profile which facilitates fixing of boarding or linings.
• The bottom corners of the studs are trimmed prior to folding the section to allow the stud to sit directly onto the face of the bottom track thus giving direct transfer of vertical load rather than through the fixings
• Window and door openings are easily accommodated
• Bracing formed from the stud section can be incorporated within the wall structure, which is strong both in tension and compression therefore eliminating the need for external cross bracing.
• BW Industries have the ability and capacity to supply SureBUILD in either stick form or fully assembled panels
• The steel gauges are core steel thickness plus the standard (Z275) zinc coating thickness of 0.04mm.
• Sections are generally manufactured from the grade S450 steel with a minimum yield strength of 450N/mm² (2mm from lesser yield)
• SureBUILD Framing offers increased stability and durability
