Infill Walls

Infill panels, also known as infill walls, are non-load-bearing panels that are installed between the floors of a building’s primary structural frame. Infill panels serve the necessary function of supporting the structure’s cladding system. These can also be used for separating internal walls for purposes such as providing enhanced fire resistance and acoustic insulation.

 

Shanette offer 5 Design & build options for our Infill Panels

U track and stud.

With this method we manufacture pre-cut U sections for the top and bottom tracks, into which the stud sections are fitted and are screwed into place. This is a popular system for uneven openings where the frames are built on-site. Sometimes our clients choose to self-assemble, due to site or restricted access reasons. The Frame bundles can be collected or delivered direct to site.

 Made to measure Stick Bundles

One of the Shanette team will travel to site and measure the openings, we will then design and manufacture the precise components needed. Our self-assemble solution is ideal for building contractors, who need a reliable supply of pre-engineered steel product to complete their infill frames. Sometimes our clients choose to self-assemble, due to site or restricted access reasons. The Frame bundles can be collected or delivered direct to site. All of our frame pieces and parts are individually Ink-jet marked with ID numbers, and accompanied by detailed assembly drawings, Self-assembly is quiet straight forward.

Made to measure Frames

One of the Shanette team will travel to site and measure the openings, we will then design, manufacture and assemble the precise frames needed for each opening. This solution is ideal for building contractors, who need exact supply of pre-engineered infill frames to complete their project on time. Our clients choose Shanette pre-assembled frames for speed and ease of installation. The infill Frames can be collected or delivered direct to site.

Stick bundles designed from client drawings

We will design and manufacture the precise components needed with a built-in tolerance from your construction drawings. Our self-assemble stick bundles are an ideal solution for building contractors, who choose to self-assemble, due to site or restricted access reasons or projects on tight deadlines. The Frame bundles can be collected or delivered direct to site. All of our frame pieces and parts are individually Ink-jet marked with ID numbers, and accompanied by detailed assembly drawings, Self-assembly is quiet straight forward.

Frames designed from client drawings

We will design, manufacture and assemble exact frames for each opening from your drawings. Precise infill frames will be assembled by Shanette off-site with a built in tolerance, to suit your construction project. This solution is ideal for building contractors on tight deadlines who need exact sized pre-engineered infill frames made before the openings are created in the building. Our clients choose Shanette pre-assembled frames for speed and ease of installation. The infill Frames can be collected or delivered direct to site.

External Walls

External walls are load-bearing panels that are installed as the supporting structural frame of building. They serve the essential function of supporting the structure’s weight. 

The exterior wall separates the accommodation inside from that outside. Its functions include but are not limited to: Environmental control (protection from weather), supporting the floors/upper levels, roof and anchors the roof to the walls

Internal Walls

The primary purpose of an internal wall is to provide acoustic separation for airborne sound between two adjacent rooms within a dwelling, thereby improving the acoustic comfort of those within the dwelling. Another important function would be adding extra insulation to the internal structure of the building also.

Floor Cassettes

Floor cassette units is a series of floor joists joined together with trimmers or enda-joists to form a load-bearing element of floor construction. They  are suitable for ground floor applications in detached housing, and in upper stories they provide a working platform upon installation, minimising safety risks associated with working at heights.

These cassettes form a complete working platform incorporating all ancillaries.

Delays become a thing of the past and there is minimal work required for follow-on trades.

Roof Trusses

A steel roof truss is a triangulated system of straight interconnected structural steel elements.  

Steel Roof Trusses advantages:

  • Longer life-span than wood, as steel frames do not warp, crack, or become susceptible to damp, rot & insect damage. 
  • Lightweight and strong (Supports considerable weight-bearing loads.)
  • Faster to assemble and install

Angle Trims

Shanettes Steel Angle Trims are the most basic type of roll-formed steel. They are formed by bending a single angle in a piece of steel.  Our Steel Angle Trims are ‘L’ shaped; which is where the steel is at a 90 degree angle. Shanette can provide the legs of the “L” in equal or unequal lengths. They can be used for brackets, trim, reinforcements, etc. Shanette uses the hot dipped galvanised steel in our Angle Trims. 

 It provides a distinct advantage over other corrosion protection methods. It is used where a higher corrosive resistance is required and has a sharper profile on the angle. 

Accessories & Custom Profiles

Shanette provides various accessories and custom profiling to suit your building needs and requirements.  

We offer a wide variety of building components and accessories to give your building the character, features and functionality it deserves. We can incorporate just about anything into your steel framed building project, contact us to find out more information. 

1 | SELF-ASSEMBLE FRAMES

Also known as stick form or sticks.

Since all of our frame pieces and parts are individually Ink-jet marked with ID numbers, and accompanied by detailed assembly drawings, Self assembly is quiet straight forward.

Our self-assemble solution is ideal for modular building contractors, Pod manufacturers and Self-Builders who need a reliable supply of pre-engineered steel product to feed their assembly line or building project.

Sometimes our clients choose to self-assemble, due to site or restricted access reasons. The Frame bundles can be collected or delivered direct to site, factory or docks.

Benefits:
  • Product consistency with our certified premium quality Shanette Steel Sections
  • Ideal for versatile & innovative designs 
  • Collection or delivery costs for bundles are very economic
  • Perfect for sites with restricted access
  • Self assemble bundles are great for the Self builder.
2 | pre-assembled frames
for collection or delivery

With this option Shanette assemble all parts into complete frames, at our manufacturing facility, which are then loaded on stillages ready for collection or delivery.

Once on-site or at the finishing factory in the case of pod manufacturers, the frames are simply bolted together into complete structures.

We supply pre-assembled frames that form complete structures to clients who then fit-out according to their own project specification.

Benefits:
  • Ideal for clients without the capacity to build & assemble a fully formed unit
  • Rapid installation by crane saving time and labour
  • Easy module to module connection
  • Multiple repeated units offer economies of scale
  • Limited disruption during onsite construction
