INTRODUCTION

METSEC SFS

Metsec SFS fast track building systems are specified to construct

infill and continuous walling, low-rise stand alone buildings and

high bay separating walls. SFS has all the benefits of cold-rolled

sections; supreme versatility, buildability, high speed construction

and significant reductions in dead loadings. The warm frame

approach achieves excellent thermal performance and the

system is ideal for low ground bearing pressure situations.

The precision engineered components facilitate reduced building

maintenance and reduce site material wastage. The net effect is a

reduction in programme timescales and project costs. Metsec SFS is

the ideal partner for British Gypsum linings. The two combine

seamlessly to achieve the fire, acoustic and thermal performance

levels required within the built environment.

INTRODUCTION

METSEC METFRAME

Front Elevation

The Metsec Metframe system, using cold rolled lightweight

galvanized steel sections in bolt together pre-fabricated

panels, provides a fast-track solution for medium rise load

bearing superstructures .

Every project is structurally designed in-house and

underwritten by PI Insurance. Sophisticated software,

developed for Metframe, is used by technical staff to

model and detail all structural elements of the building.

Metframe structures are fabricated and erected on site by

approved Installers who assemble panels within their own

factory environment in accordance with sequencing and

procedures approved by Metsec.

Metsec SFS is a lightweight, galvanized, cold-rolled, fast-track

building system, with a proven track record in external wall infill,

high bay separating walls and low-rise stand alone structures.

It is specified extensively in projects where speed of construction

and/or a lightweight frame is a requirement. Application areas

include schools, apartments, student accommodation, commercial

developments, hospitals and other public buildings. It is a proven

solution which provides a quick external weathered envelope.

The Metsec SFS system is also ideally suited for sub-division

of buildings where its lightweight nature usually means that

additional foundations are not required.

Stand alone structures, particularly roof top extensions, stick

built or pre-panelised are yet another application of this

robust, lightweight building method.

Metsec’s technical support team are able to provide an immediate

response to enquiries where their in-house engineers prepare

initial calculations in order to establish structural zones and

determine a budget costing. On receipt of an order, full structural

calculations and standard details are produced. All designs

include structural calculations and are underwritten by Professional

Indemnity Insurance.

The installed system will need to meet specific fire, acoustic

and thermal performance criteria. British Gypsum insulation and

lining specifications are available to meet the most onerous

performance requirements. They are fully substantiated by

extensive, independent tests carried out at British Gypsum’s

Building Test Centre – a fully accredited UKAS testing laboratory.

Metsec SFS relies on high quality, purpose designed

components. The design of sections draws on Metsec’s

extensive cold rolling knowledge to maximise strength to

weight ratios. Stud/joist sections and channel runners are

manufactured from pre-hot dipped galvanised steel G275

coating, guaranteed yield strength 390 N/mm2

and Quality

Assured to BS EN ISO 9002:1994. Sections can be supplied in

lengths up to 16m to minimise the need for cutting and splicing

on site. In practice, maximum lengths will be dictated by

transportation and site handling considerations.

Joist/stud sections

These form the main support of the structure and are used primarily as wall studs

and floor joists. Joist/stud sections are also used in combination with channel

runners to create lintels and cills at door and window openings.

Channel runners

Runners are used to form the horizontal base,intermediate and capping sections

of the stud walls.The depth of runner used will depend on its function.

Bracing

Flat strap section is used as lateral and diagonal bracing to resist racking forces.

The Metsec Steel Framing System (SFS) provides infill or continuous

frame panel support for the majority of exterior cladding materials

including brickwork. It is suitable for both low-rise or high-rise

construction. Stud size, spacing and anchorage are determined

by the floor to floor heights, deflection criteria and lateral wind

load pressures.

The system combines high performance with fast, dry construction

techniques. The building can be made weather tight at an early

stage in the construction programme by fixing rigid foam insulation.

If required Isowool insulation, from British Gypsum-Isover, is fitted

into the stud cavity to enhance the thermal insulation performance.

The use of lightweight steel sections avoids the problems inherent

in the use of timber sections.

Early weather protection to the building

Lightweight,dry construction

Pre-fabrication on or off-site

Achieves high thermal and acoustic performances

Wind posts not required

Gives lateral support to most external cladding materials

Minimises wet trades on site

An unlimited range of project solutions is available using either

infill or continuous external walling. Whatever the project, the

design flexibility of Metsec SFS external wall options will enable

the challenge to be met.

HIGH BAY

SEPARATING WALLS

Metsec SFS High Bay Wall is a high performance single span separating

wall. Its lightweight construction and uniformly distributed loading

normally obviates the need to strengthen foundations or existing

floors. This reduces the time required for installation and minimalises

the overall project cost.

Dry construction techniques.

No need to strengthen foundations in most cases.

Up to 3 hours fire resistance using British Gypsum boards.

Full height studs up to 16m.

Straightforward to build.

The high performance characteristics of the wall coupled

with ease of build qualities make this the first choice

solution for many commercial, public and industrial projects.

METFRAME

THE SYSTEM

Based on an excellent track record and proven engineering

principles, Metframe is specified for medium rise building

superstructures.

Metframe uses lightweight, cold rolled, galvanized steel sections in

bolt together pre-engineered panels to form storey high walls.

These combined with structurally efficient floors provide the

stability and integrity to the building, eliminating the need

for a steel or concrete primary frame. External wall panels are

highly insulated and their design allows for architectural flexibility

in the size and location of window and door openings.

In-house detailing ensures that, following approval of the detailed

model,electronic transfer of details of individual components to the

rolling mills is fast and accurate including dimensions, bolt hole

locations and any counter forming requirements.

British Gypsum works

closely with Metsec in a

continuous programme to

develop drywall construction

methods to satisfy all of the latest

statutory fire,thermal and acoustic

requirements. Independent test data is

available to substantiate these solutions.

Metframe is used for a diverse range of

medium rise structures. Successfully

completed projects include hotels,hospitals,

nursing homes, apartments,schools and

student accommodation.

ASSEMBLY

R I N G B E A M

The ringbeam of a cold-rolled galvanized C-section is an essential

part of the Metframe structure. Once installed it forms the level

base for all load bearing walls as well as establishing the set out

lines for all floors. Angle cleats are anchored to the foundations

and the vertical leg is fixed to the external face of the C-section

ringbeam. When all ringbeams are installed the ground floor slab

is poured using the ringbeam as a permanent shutter, which

provides a level base for the wall panels.

W A L L F A B R I C A T I O N

The approved Metsec installer will deliver panels to site and erect

them. External panels have foil-faced rigid foam insulation and

brick-tie channels or cement particle board for render factory fitted

during fabrication. Panels will include all door and window

apertures to receive windows by others.

F L O O R L O A D I N G

Prior to fixing floor decking to the top of wall panels, each room is

‘loaded out’ with bathroom ‘pods’ and plasterboard together with

any other finishing materials. The early ‘loading out’ of materials in

this manner greatly improves the finishing works programme.


32/46

3 3

F L O O R D E C K I N G

The Metframe system incorporates structural metal decking to

form an in-situ concrete floor. This gives significant advantages in

relation to acoustic and fire requirements.

When required within the Building Regulations, resistance to

progressive collapse is provided by continuous reinforcement bars

acting as ties at panel heads.

PERFORMANCE TABLES

S T R U C T U R A L

Metframe and SFS load bearing solutions are achieved using

accurately designed engineered components. The studs, channel

runners and joists specified are strengthened by lateral and/or

diagonal bracing,stiffening, and solid blocking as required to satisfy

the wind loading and structural integrity criteria.

All designs produced by Metsec’s in-house team are underwritten

by Professional Indemnity Insurance.

Comprehensive load/span data is given in the performance tables

contained within. For external walling the maximum allowable

lateral wind loads (kN/m2

) are given for studs at 600mm centres

and lateral bracing at mid-height. The tables shown are applicable

to limiting deflections of height/360 and height/600. The table

for internal walls gives the maximum allowable axial load (kN/stud)

for studs at 600mm centres and lateral bracing at mid-height.

The span table for internal floors gives the maximum allowable

spans for joists at 400mm or 600mm centres against different

uniform dead/live criteria. The spans apply with or without

acoustic overlay.

T H E R M A L E F F I C I E N C Y

The U values quoted in the external wall table have been obtained

by the combined method,which takes account of the performance

of the individual elements which make up the wall construction.

The whole building thermal efficiency requirements of national

Building Regulations can be determined using one of three

methods of compliance; the carbon index method, elemental

method and target U value method.

S O U N D I N S U L A T I O N

The Rw ratings given in the performance tables apply to imperforate

constructions laboratory tested in accordance with BS EN ISO 140-3:

1995, and rated in accordance with BS EN 717: 1997 or assessments

based on these tests. The Ctr adaption term is a requirement of

the Building Regulations, Approved Document E. The Rw + Ctr

measurements emphasise the low frequency performance of

separating elements and assist the building designer in specifying

the best solution. It must be stressed however, that the

Regulations generally require performance to be proven by site

tests and to achieve this full account must be taken of flanking

sound transmission and junction detailing.F I R E R E S I S T A N C E

The fire resistances given in the performance tables apply to

imperforate constructions tested to BS476: Part 22: 1987 or

assessments based on these tests.
