Could a Tiny House be the solution to the Victorian housing crisis and help people at risk of facing homelessness?
Sustainable, affordable housing made from recyclable materials; Melbourne communities say, ‘Yes Please!’.
Tiny Homes Australia and Anchor Inc. have partnered with Dynamic Steel Frame and others to implement a pilot program designed to support small families and adults who are at risk of or experiencing homelessness.
Take a look at the official video of our open day.
Our new Dynamic Steel Frame facility, we are building to greater heights.
With amazing people who are leading the industry there to help unveil our new facility. We can’t help but wonder just how quickly we might outgrow this location as well.
Lighter. Straighter. Better! & more advanced in every way.
Dynamic Steel Frame is proud to support the Blokes Advice crew in their Black Dog Awareness tour.
As the name suggests this tour is an effort to support Blokes Advice’s plight to help aid in all things mens health related. BA is an online group where members fully support each other through good and bad times in life. Our community of men continually message and follow up on the well being of our members that open up in need of help.
The purpose of this tour is to jump off the keyboard and get face to face with those struggling as a way of showing we are serious and we care. The goal for this tour is to encourage anyone struggling in life who are being silent to find the strength to seek help. Blokes Advice is here to help kick the Black Dog in the guts.
All structures must have adequate roof support, and while rafters used to be the standard choice for most residential buildings, roof trusses are increasing in popularity.
Roof trusses are incredibly strong and quick to install, and effectively transmit all the weight to the building’s exterior walls, relieving load bearing from the interior walls. Whether you are constructing a residential or commercial building, it is important to select the right roof trusses for your project.
To help you make the choice between timber and steel roof trusses, we have prepared a simple guide.
Timber trusses
Wooden trusses are generally cheaper than steel trusses, however they don’t last as long.
Timber is a natural material, it cannot stand up to the elements as well as steel. Timber trusses may warp and bow over time, which can cause structural damage to the rest of the building.
Wood is also susceptible to rot and insect infestations.
Timber trusses are also more likely than steel to be damaged in wild weather conditions.
Despite these risks, many opt for timber frames because they seem more economical.
Steel trusses
Steel roof trusses are usually more expensive than wooden trusses, but you can expect them to last a lot longer.
Chemical treatments aren’t needed to maintain the frame and insect infestations aren’t a risk.
They are also lightweight, making them easier and quicker to transport and install.
What’s more, steel frames can be recycled easily. Steel is a good choice for the environmentally conscious home or business owner.
Although steel frame roof trusses require more skill to install, an experienced team should be able to fit your steel trusses quickly and efficiently.
Dynamic Steel Frame are Melbourne’s leading providers in quality steel framing.
We produce our steel roof trusses using advanced design software and specialised machinery. Rest assured you’re getting steel frames of the highest standard.
Whatever kind of steel framing you need, and whatever the size of the project, we have the knowledge, equipment and supplies to help.
