  • ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION
    An average 200 square meter timber-framed home requires around 40-50 trees to build. This is equivalent to an entire acre of forest. Comparatively, a steel-framed home requires the equivalent of only six recycled cars. Native vegetation must be cleared to make way for the non-native tree plantations used in the construction industry. These areas could otherwise be left or restored as native forest to capture carbon and reestablish habitat for wildlife. Australia has lost over 40% of its natural forests, and habitat loss is currently the biggest threat to wildlife. Steel framing provides a quality, environmentally-friendly and cost-effective alternative to timber framing.
  • MINIMAL WASTE & FULLY RECYCLABLE
    ANYFRAME steel frames are carefully designed to create as little waste product as possible. Due to the precision design and manufacturing process, raw products are used as efficiently as possible. This means that there is very little wastage of materials during manufacture. Unlike timber, there are no imperfections in the raw materials in steel framing, so the entire product is usable. Once on site, there is very little modification of the steel frames required, dramatically reducing construction time and ensuring minimal on-site waste products. In addition to all of these benefits, the steel we use for our frames is made from 50% recycled steel and is 100% recyclable.
  • MINIMAL SITE IMPACT
    Due to the precision manufacture and assembly methodology of ANYFRAME steel frames, there is minimal on-site wastage, and little time and energy required to erect your frame. This means a lower impact on the construction site and the surrounding areas than when building with conventional timber frames. Off-cuts from timber frames can amount to 20-30% of materials. Construction timber cannot be reused or incinerated due to toxic treatments and waste is often left at construction sites, which attracts termites and dramatically increases the chances of a home infestation. Offcuts from ANYFRAME frames can be fully recycled or reused.
  • EMBODIED ENERGY & LIFE CYCLE
    In general, it is recommended to build with materials that have a low embodied energy. Embodied energy is the amount of energy consumed during the production of a product. While the initial embodied energy of steel is higher than timber, the life cycle energy over the life of your home can be much lower due to lower energy consumption over time and the high durability of steel framing. ANYFRAME steel frames are made of top quality high tensile galvanised steel. Galvanised (Zinc coated) steel framing has an extremely long product life cycle, with an average life expectancy of 377 years! Unlike plantation timbers, steel is made with recycled materials and is 100% recyclable, lowering the embodied energy of manufacture over time. Steel can be recycled indefinitely without loss of quality. The recycling of steel requires 70% less energy than the original mining & manufacturing process. If you are building your home in an area with a variable climate, steel framing is the environmentally responsible choice.

WHAT MAKES
 
DIFFERENT?

Anyframe_logo_black.png

RAPID CONSTRUCTION

Rivet-based connections for speed, strength and durability. Anyframe can reduce frame construction time by three quarters, enabling a significant reduction in costs.

FLOW-FRAME SYSTEM

Easily build curved walls and vaulted ceilings with proprietary components.

STATE OF THE ART

Anyframe is manufactured with the same computer driven technology used in the aerospace and automotive industries. This gives it unprecedented precision and accuracy.

EASY CORNERS & JUNCTIONS

Proprietary Any-Join component saves time and simplifies construction for T-junctions, corners and edges.

PRECISION DETAILING

Precision detailing means precision fit. Regularly spaced joint detailing reduces the need to take measurements, mark, cut or drill, saving significant labor and construction time.

LOAD BEARING

Construct load bearing floors, walls and roofs.

MODULAR & FLEXIBLE

Rapidly pre-fabricate standard sized flat panels or larger structural elements (trusses, beams, etc) for rapid on-site assembly.

EXPANDED ASSEMBLIES

Easily assemble joists, trusses, beams and columns for larger clear spans.

STRONG & LIGHT

High tensile galvanized steel with a service life of 75+ years. 10% lighter than equivalent gauge steel due to perforations.

STRAIGHT & TRUE

No warping, sagging or shrinkage. Straighter walls, sharper corners.

CUSTOMIZABLE

Dimensions and material gauges can be customised to suit your project and engineering requirements.

MINIMAL WASTE

Minimal measurement, marking and cutting means close to zero waste. Anyframe is 100% recyclable.
