Termite damage is the leading cause of structural damage to granny flats. Steel frames are 100% termite and borer proof, with no need for ongoing treatment and maintenance.
Steel frames won’t shrink, twist or warp, so you won't face problems such as cracked cornices, jamming doors or uneven roof lines, so over the life of your granny flat, ongoing costs are significantly reduced.
By choosing steel, you're supporting the environment, as steel framing is 100% recyclable, requires no logging, and helps lower carbon emissions, promoting cleaner air for future generations.
