Nu-Steel Homes Adelaide provides quality steel framed homes to the South Australia and Northern Territory market.
Every Nu-Steel Home comes with the strength of BlueScope Steels TRUECORE building frame technology. BlueScope has vigorously engineered, researched and tested its products, providing a rigid, guaranteed, vermin proof frame that's accurately engineered for quick, easy construction.
Added benefits of Steel include:
Steel provides unrivalled Design Flexibility, seamlessly fitting into your plans,
Nu-Steel Homes is different from the rest. Many companies limit their customers to standard plans, and are reluctant to deviate from them.
Nu-Steel Homes offer a wonderful range of fully customised contemporary or traditional designs. We welcome your design modifications and you are free to adapt our designs to your personal tastes and needs. Our customers are also free to create their own plans, and utilise the assistance of our in-house drafting professionals.
Nu-Steel Homes can be constructed in almost any size, shape, exterior and interior finish, and best of all they all have a "heart of steel".
Steel won't warp, shrink, rot or twist,
Our homes are guaranteed not to warp, shrink, rot or twist like inferior traditional wooden frames. This guarantees straight and plumb walls.
All our homes incorporate the trussed-roof method of construction, enabling large spans without the need for internal support. This means most internal walls in a Nu-Steel Home may be moved at the design stage to create your perfect living environment.
Termites will never steal a Nu-Steel frame. Termites and bores are a devastating problem in traditional wooden framed homes, and usually go undetected until it's too late. This problem can potentially ruin your greatest investment.
Steel Framed homes eliminate this problem, saving your home from potential ruin, and eliminating the obligatory cost of termite protection. Many councils recognises this advantage and do not require the spraying of chemicals around a Nu-Steel Home, which adds added environmental benefits.
Nu-Steel Homes takes no risk and acknowledges that termite attacks can occur on interior wood work such as skirting’s and door frames. Therefore Nu-Steel homes implements further termite protection around the plumbing that will eliminate the opportunity for the pests to gain access to your home through the tiny crevices that naturally occur in the homes foundation.
Cyclone, Earthquake and Fire resistant strength,
The rigid nature of Steel Frames offer resistance against cyclones, earthquakes and fire.
The Fire resistance of steel framing, and more particularly steel roof trusses and rafters is often highlighted during the bushfire season.
With traditional wooden frame systems, during a fire, flames are ignited in the roof after burning embers are swept under the eaves and into the roof cavity. It is here that the embers ignite the wooden trusses, and lead to the loss of your beloved home. With steel frames, this does not occur.
Flat and sloping site solutions,
With level blocks of land becoming harder to find, Nu-Steel Homes' flooring system makes sloping blocks an advantage. The slope actually becomes a design feature and views can be maximised by homes on flooring systems, rather than on concrete slabs.
These home designs are also cooler in summer and offer superior air circulation. All Nu-Steel Homes feature insulation in external walls and ceilings or roofs to further regulate temperatures.
Building on a slope also eliminates the need to construct expensive retaining walls and the associated drainage systems. Another advantage includes the added storage space such a design can create.
If you thought it would be necessary to 'cut and fill' your sloping block, Nu-Steel Homes may be able to provide another option.
Precision frame engineering,
Nu-Steel frames are engineered to fine tolerances and are dimensionally accurate, which guarantees a perfect fit for all doors and windows. Nu-Steel Homes' frames are designed to suit your local conditions, but can be designed to withstand winds up to two hundred and sixteen kilometers per hour (220KM/Hour) in cyclonic regions.
It is a common misconception that Steel frames are noisy during windy conditions and weather change. This may have been the case in earlier steel frame engineering, however BlueScope TrueCore Steel has undergone extensive research and engineering (wind tunnel testing) to eliminate these characteristics.
Significant savings for owner builders,
With the growing number of Australians using steel framed homes, the price of a steel frame has become very competitive with traditional wooden framed homes.
There are significant savings and assurances that are made when you choose steel framed homes. These include:
- Eliminating the need for termite protection,
- Often cheaper insurance for steel framed homes,
- Construction/labour costs are lower, with steel framed homes able to be erected in a shorter amount of time,
- Contractors such as plumbers and electricians prefer steel frames, as installation of caballing/wires and plumbing is a lot easier and quicker
