Instant Build manufactures both C and U sections in a range of different gauge steel and our Framecad 450it will roll galvanised steel from 0.7mm to 1.6mm thick and has a profile of a 100mm web and a 50mm flange height. With this state of the art manufacturing equipment we're able to comfortably roll lengths of up to 10m.

bottom plates
Bottom plates are horizontal members fixed to the bottom of the studs and should be fully supported below load-bearing studs. Fixings through the bottom plate are used to secure frames to the floor.
k bracing
Steel K-bracing, formed with FRAMECAD frame sections as bracing in the line of wall frames, may be used to provide bracing resistance to walls. K-braces can be used to provide frame squaring and stiffness.
webbed joist
The webbed floor joist is a lightweight steel truss consisting of parallel chords and a triangulated web system design. These are designed at various depths to span between support points to suit any sized project or build.
jamb studs
Located either side of openings in the frame, jamb studs provide extra support for lintels above windows, doors and archways.
lintels
Lintels are horizontal structures within a wall spanning between jamb studs over door and window openings.
nogging
Nogging can either be a continuous length of C section with lip and web notches for the studs to pass through, or short pieces cut between the studs at alternate staggered heights.
top plates
Top plates are horizontal members fixed to the top of the studs. On load-bearing walls carrying a light load, top plates can transfer loads from the roof to the studs where the studs are not located directly below the trusses.
