STEEL VS TIMBER: WHY DOES GOLDEN HOMES CHOOSE STEEL?
Resistant to Moisture & Rot
Steel is not susceptible to the moisture related issues that can affect timber framing, providing greater long term peace of mind in New Zealand's varied climate.
Precision Engineered
ZOG steel framing is precision manufactured for accurate and consistent framing throughout the build. This can contribute to straighter walls, accurate dimensions and a high quality finished result.
A Healthier Home
ZOG Steel Frames are chemical free, allergen free and dust free, and have been recognised by the Asthma Foundation of New Zealand as a ‘Sensitive Choice’. Specialised sealing around windows and a moisture barrier system work alongside the steel framing to help create a healthier home environment.
ZOG Steel doesn't support mould growth or rot, while its stability can help reduce cracking in claddings and linings. It also provides an effective alternative to timber in areas where borer and other timber damaging pests can be a concern.
Built for New Zealand Conditions
From harsh sun and heavy rain to coastal environments, New Zealand homes need a robust framing system. Steel offers durability and resilience suited to our climate.
