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.

The cost of steel frame homes compared to traditional wood can vary depending on project specifics. Steel construction offers several advantages that can lead to overall cost savings. These include:
- Durability: Steel frames resist rot, termites, and warping, reducing long-term maintenance costs.
- Faster construction: Steel frames can be prefabricated, leading to quicker build times and potentially lower labor costs.
- Energy efficiency: Steel allows for superior insulation integration, potentially lowering heating and cooling bills.
Steel frames are known for their exceptional durability. Steel resists rot, insect infestation, and warping, leading to a long lifespan.
Steel frame construction offers excellent potential for energy efficiency. Here’s why:
- Superior insulation integration: Steel studs have a smaller profile compared to wooden studs, allowing for more space for thicker insulation, leading to better thermal performance.
- Airtight construction: Steel frames can be effectively sealed, minimising air leaks, a significant source of energy loss.
Steel frame construction is well-suited for a variety of climates. Steel is resistant to moisture, making it a good choice for humid regions. Additionally, steel’s strength allows for superior performance in areas prone to high winds or seismic activity.
