Light steel frame buyer guides
Steel frame connections and fasteners explained
How light steel members are joined, why the fastener schedule matters as much as the frame, and what to request alongside the Digital Oro catalog items.
A frame is a set of parts held together by its connections. A missing or wrong fastener schedule is a common reason for site delays and for engineering rejections.
What to get in writing
- A connection schedule: fastener type, size and spacing at each joint.
- Anchor type and layout at the foundation or sub-floor. The catalog shows stump and bearer sub-floor options (SHS stump, RHS bearer, light steel joists) and a strip footing or concrete pad to stump as per the engineer.
- Clips, brackets and bracing, and who supplies them.
- Corrosion-resistant fasteners compatible with the coating, so mixed metals do not corrode each other.
- Installation instructions and tooling needed.
