Multi-storey residential buildings also benefit from using light steel infill walls and long span flooring where excellent thermal and acoustic levels can be achieved. Advantages of Metek Light Steel Framing in Residential Construction Significantly reduced time on site vs traditional Increased quality Faster speed of construction Long span floors with a choice of steel joists or composite concrete construction Incorporate Robust Standard Details BIM, Revit modelled Hot rolled steel incorporated as part of the light steel frame Light weight provides thermally responsive construction and good energy efficiency. Safer construction process Non-combustible construction Sheathing can be rigid high performance insulation with brick cladding or cement particle board where cladding or rain screen are specified. Impressive savings in foundation weight Less site waste Structural performance substantiated by tests High levels of insulation and airtightness easily achieved Occupied roof space Predictability of process Good energy efficiency Oval Quarter (Myatt’s Fields) London The re-development of a decaying area of Lambeth in south London was completed in double quick time by using Metek’s light steel framing system. The former Myatt’s Fields North Estate was completely re-modelled to create the ‘Oval Quarter’, which is a vibrant mixture of private and affordable housing in a wide range of building scales. In 2013, this scheme was the largest urban regeneration scheme in the UK. The architects reproduced the familiar London Georgian terrace in a modern style using featured brickwork up to 6 storeys high, which is laterally supported by the light steel structure. Originally conceived in blockwork, and then in timber framing, Metek’s light steel framing was finally chosen as the structural system by the main contractor because of its speed of delivery and its fire resistant properties, especially during construction. Metek provided all the light steel frames and floor joists, and the structural steel for the lift cores and stairs as well as installing pre-cast concrete stairs.
