Steel Advantages
Did you know that much of the steel in your new car was not even invented 10 years ago! The same applies to the steel material used by Balance Steelframe for the manufacture of light-weight floor joists, wall frames and roof beams and trusses

We roll our own steel profiles and manufacture light-weight building components specially designed and engineered to increase flexibility and design scope.

Our Steel beams, walls and floors have been used for housing, walls, curved roofs, furniture, columns, strawbale buildings, structural beams, mezzanines, sheds, stairs,studios, and heritage restorations.
