Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jun 12, 2018 8:17 pm Hello We have been given a choice between a wood frame or a hybrid steel frame. For those that have built using hybrid steel frames ( I believe that a lot of Clarendon homes are built this way now) have you had any issues after you have moved in. My main concerns are around the practicalities of the steel frame once we move in (i.e hanging TV's, pictures, floating shelves in the future etc) and any noise issues. For those with the hybrid frame do you regret using it? I have looked over the building with Clarendon forum and I can not see any major issues, however, I thought I would just check in to see what people have to say. Thanks Re: Hybrid Steel Frame vs Wood Frame 2Jun 12, 2018 8:34 pm @Met_LibertyVerve Not sure what you mean by hybrid, this could also mean composite panels? I recommend you get copies of Construction & Engineering Details & Post them up as well BTW, Don't bother with builders blogs/forums... as they are heavily censored Cheers Designer,Engineer (Civil,Const & Envir),Builder,Concrete & Masonry Contract.Struct Repairs Re: Hybrid Steel Frame vs Wood Frame 3Jun 12, 2018 9:04 pm Hello Thanks for your response. By Hybrid I meant Steel wall frames with timber roof trusses. Evidently the wood roof trusses allows for tiled roofing. Thanks Re: Hybrid Steel Frame vs Wood Frame 4Jun 12, 2018 9:47 pm Yes Timber Roof frames are preferred for tiled roofs You might want to also read Very Noisy Steel Framed House Cheers Designer,Engineer (Civil,Const & Envir),Builder,Concrete & Masonry Contract.Struct Repairs Re: Hybrid Steel Frame vs Wood Frame 5Jun 12, 2018 9:55 pm Hello Thanks for your response.
