We exclusively use steel framing to build our tiny home frames and for other residential and commercial framing projects.

Steel is much stronger, straighter, and lighter than traditional timber framing which is vital if you plan on moving your tiny home around on a trailer. Our steel is made in New Zealand from locally mined iron-sand. There is virtually no waste, as all lengths are cut exact without error in our factories using our advanced roll forming technology.

Steel is much lighter and easier to assemble. This means that our tiny home frames will be more cost-effective during the building stage. When you consider all the benefits you get from steel compared to timber framing, steel is far better value for money.

Steel will give your home a straighter finish, especially along rooflines, ceilings and walls, which, when built from timber, can visibly flex and warp over time. Steel also resists damage from storms, wind and lightning better than timber.

Steel is non-combustible, and will not bend or warp in a fire. Steel framing can mean the difference between fixing your tiny home or rebuilding it entirely.

Tiny home frames made of steel are 100% recyclable so it is much better for the environment in the long term. Steel Frames Direct uses Axxis steel due to its suitability for New Zealand’s environmental conditions and it’s backed by a 50-year durability warranty.

From its strength and durability to its environmental benefits, steel framing consistently proves to be the superior choice.
