Design Philosophy
Basic Principles
The basic principle of voestalpine Metsec SFS load bearing is that lightweight galvanised steel sections are used to form
the structural elements of the building, and provide structure to support the external finishes, internal plasterboard,
floor and roof finishes. SFS load bearing consists of vertical and horizontal steel channels, supplied to site as individual
components, assembled in-situ using 5.5mm diameter self-drilling/self-tapping (tek) screws. All SFS sections are cold
rolled from pre-galvanised steel strip to BS EN 1090-1:2009 + A1:2011, with a minimum steel grade of S450.
Structural Performance
The structural design of voestalpine Metsec SFS sections is carried out in accordance with BS EN 1993-1-3 and based
on proven engineering methods, for further background on the design of cold rolled sections refer to Steel Construction
Institute publication ED 005 – Design of Light Steel Sections to Eurocode 3.
For a voestalpine Metsec SFS load bearing system, roofs and floors are constructed of horizontally spanning cold-rolled
steel joists, supported by vertically spanning stud sections which are designed to resist both the axial load from the
joists, and the horizontal wind load as applicable. Where required hot rolled steel beams and columns are incorporated
into and suitably tied to the cold rolled steel frame. Serviceability is accommodated by the limitation of deflections and
the control of vibrations, please refer to the design summary section of this document for project specific deflection
limits.
voestalpine Metsec SFS frames are designed to have sufficient stiffness to control movement under horizontal loads
and incorporate a vertical bracing system to transfer loads to the foundations. The overall stability of the structure is
provided by flat strap cross bracing distributed evenly throughout the external and internal walls as required. The
vertical studs are designed to accommodate any additional compression forces generated and the horizontal base
track is adequately fixed to the sub-structure to resist vertical uplift forces at the bracing locations. Stability in the
horizontal plane is provided by diaphragmatic action from plyboard fixed direct to the top flange of the roof/floor
joists. Where roof finishes do not permit boarding of the top flange of the joists, flat strap bracing can be used in place
of the plyboard diaphragm.
Durability
All voestalpine Metsec sections are manufactured with a hot dip galvanising coating to ensure the durability of the
frame for internal applications not directly exposed to moisture. Control of moisture ingress and condensation is
essential and should be accounted for in design and construction.
The standard coating of the sections is Z275 (275 g/m2 summed over both surfaces of the section). Damaged areas of
corrosion protection must be reinstated with an appropriate zinc-rich paint. Local areas with exposed edges of steel (ie.
cut ends, bolt holes, tek screw penetrations) are protected by sacrificial loss of the zinc coating and require no further
attention.

Robustness
voestalpine Metsec SFS superstructures are designed for structural robustness and to avoid disproportionate collapse
as per Part A of Building Regulations. The guidance given in BS EN 1991-1-7 is material independent, the only
guidance specific for cold rolled frames is given in the UK National Annex, section NA.3.1:
“In the case of lightweight building structures (e.g. those whose primary structure is timber or cold formed light gauge
steel), the values for minimum horizontal tie forces in expression A.1 and A.2 should be taken as 15kN and 7.5kN,
respectively.”
In the absence of material specific guidance in BS EN 1991-1-7, guidance is taken from Steel Construction Institute
publication P402 – Light Steel Framing in Residential Construction, section 2.1.5, with the following tying principles
applied to the frame:
“Horizontal tying arrangements, generally similar to those described in BS EN 1991-1-7 - Clause A.5, should be arrange
in continuous lines wherever practicable throughout each floor and roof level in two directions approximately at right
angles. “
Cold rolled members acting as ties, and their end connections should be capable of resisting the following factored
tensile loads:
For floor joists ties: 0.80(gk + ψ1qk)sL but not less than 5kN/m width perpendicular to the span of the joist.
For internal ties: 0.80(gk + ψ1qk)sL but not less than 15kN
For peripheral ties: 0.40(gk + ψ1qk)sL but not less than 7.5kN
where:
gk = Dead Load
qk = Imposed Load
L = Length between vertical supports
s = Mean transverse spacing of ties
ψ1 = combination factors for accidental design situations from EN1990
Within a voestalpine Metsec SFS frame the required tying forces are provided by sufficient tek screw fixings between the
joist/end track and the adjacent wall, and continuity of joist/end tracks. Each part of the structure has an evenly set out
system resisting horizontal forces so that no one part of the structure is connected at only one point to a resisting
element.
As the vertical loads are resisted by an assembly of closely spaced elements, ie. studs at 600mm centres, the tying
members are similarly distributed to ensure the entire assembly is effectively tied. The forces for anchoring the vertical
elements at the periphery are taken as 1% of the factored vertical load of the element. The bracing is distributed such
that no substantial portion of the structure is connected to a means of resisting horizontal forces at only one point.

Health & Safety
CDM 2015
voestalpine Metsec takes health and safety very seriously and provides a range of information at different stages of a
project to help our customers limit any risk using the SFS system. According to the principals set out in the CDM
Regulations 2015, we aim to eliminate, reduce or control foreseeable risks that may arise in construction and during the
buildings use.
At the concept and developed design stages of a project, a comprehensive general risk assessment can be provided to
help main contractors and installers develop their build methodology.
At the technical design stages of a project, additional information is provided on the project drawings which are clear
and easily understood. These symbols are used to identify a hazard, mandatory process or prohibited action. Each
hazard, mandatory process or prohibited action is then listed on the project specific hazard sheet.
All of our construction details show by the use of easily read symbols, the minimum PPE requirements and also which
tools should be used in the process of building the particular details.
Installer Obligations
The SFS installer holds ultimate responsibility for the quality of the installation, and for following the voestalpine Metsec
design provided. It is advised that Metsec are contacted should there be uncertainty on site with regards to the
installation of the SFS.
Site Visits & Remedial Works

voestalpine Metsec can organise visits to site by a qualified engineer when requested, both to observe quality of SFS
installation and for site meetings. Upon inspection of the installed SFS, a report will be issued to the installer advising of
any remedial works required.

Project Process
Our team of in house engineers can provide a range of technical support to aid the client at each stage of the project
process. All designs are implemented through our Quality Management System accredited to BS EN 9001:2000.
All designs produced by voestalpine Metsec plc are underwritten by £5m Professional Indemnity Insurance and client
direct collateral warranties.
Detailed Design
voestalpine Metsec offer a complete detailing service, providing a full set of either CAD or Revit drawings. These
provide complete value engineered construction level drawings offering the most economic framing solution. They
ensure the Metsec SFS is properly coordinated with other design team drawings and ensures that the full extent of the
work is clearly defined.
The SFS design is fully detailed on a series of general arrangement drawings, which show the setting out of the SFS in
relation to the primary frame. These will show the minimum structural specification of the frame along with all
component and fixing information. All relevant standard details along with any project specific details required are
shown and detailed drawings also flag potential health and safety risks of which the installer should be aware.
3D models can be provided for projects detailed using Revit, and can be fully compliant with BIM requirements for a
project. voestalpine Metsec is the first cold roll forming company to be certified to BIM Level 2 by the BSI (PAS 1192-
2:2013 – Specification for information management for the capital/delivery phase of construction projects using
Building Information Modelling) and the first tier two designer and manufacturer complying with BIM Level 2 for Design
and Construction in the UK. We are also the first organisation globally to be awarded the BSI Kitemark for BIM and the
BSI Kitemark for our BIM objects.
BSI Kitemark for BIM BSI BIM Level 2 accredited Information Security

Ordering, Take-off, Scheduling
The production of a cutting list and material order is to be placed by the client. Orders should be prepared using the
current, project specific construction drawings produced through our Detailed Design. Critical dimensions should be
checked on site prior to order to ensure that dimensions such as stud height & cleat length are correct.
For projects fully detailed in Revit, a material schedule for SFS can be provided, which, if given notice prior to the
detailing commencement, can be provided floor-by-floor, phase-by-phase, or area-by-area.
The product codes and dimensions can be found in the SFS Component tables in the Other Technical Information
section of the SFS Specification Manual. Please note the following restrictions:
Studs are rolled to length, to a minimum of 1.5m.

Tracks are available in 3, 4 or 6m sections
Slotted Tracks are available in 3m sections
Bracing straps are provided in standard 4m lengths.
Plain Angles are provided in standard 3m lengths.
Slotted Angles are provided in standard 1m lengths.
Universal Cleats are available as 130 or 190mm deep sections, 3 or 6mm thick and at lengths between 100
and 300mm in 25mm increments.
Cill Plates are available as either 3 or 6mm thick sections and at lengths between 100 and 300mm in 25mm
increments.
Window Connectors are provided at a depth to suit the stud section.
Window Angles are 45x45x2mm angles at a depth to suit the stud section.
Cantilever Posts are available in 250, 500, 750 & 1000mm post lengths.
Delivery
Material is delivered to site in plastic-banded packs with each pack weighing approximately 1 tonne, suitable for fork
handling. voestalpine Metsec plc have a number of delivery options available to suit site requirements and applicable
logistics industry standards. Deliveries will generally be made using a flat-bed vehicle, however self-offloading vehicles
are available if prior notice is given to Metsec Framing. Responsibility for communicating site conditions, requirements
and restrictions remains with the installer.
Material should be stacked adjacent to the area it is to be used, whilst adhering to storage and loading restrictions
imposed by the Main Contractor.
Disposal & Recycling

Precautions should be made to reduce section wastage where possible, however where this is not possible steel waste
and scrap is to be disposed of by authorized personnel in designated areas, whereby it can then be processed to be
recycled.

Site Procedures and Installation Standards
Tolerance
Current industry guidance for tolerances for SFS is as follows, see SCI publication ED017 (Design and Installation of
Light Steel External Wall Systems):
Installation tolerances should be agreed with the main contractor at the start of the project. The National Structural
Steel Specification (NSSS) [Ref. 12] is written for primary structural steel frames, but may be used for guidance.
As a minimum requirement the sections used for SFS walling should comply with the requirements of BS EN 10161:2003,
which section supplied by voestalpine Metsec do.
Sections for SFS walling are typically cut to length on site so as to allow for deviations within the primary structural frame
to be accommodated, however these can also be supplied cut to a client specified length. Typical guidance for infill
wall installation tolerance is given below:
Tolerances in straightness of wall: ± 5mm in 3m length.

Out of verticality (plumb) of wall: ± 5mm in 3m height or height/600 for walls over 3m in height.
Acceptable deviation in level of slab or beam soffit: ± 10mm over 3m length.
Tolerance in length of C-Section: ± 5mm in 3m length (positive deviation could compromise movement at head
detail).
Typically a window or door opening size is taken as 10mm wider and deeper than the actual window or door
dimensions to allow any deviations and thickness of any supporting plates. Metsec drawings always show
structural openings which should be larger than the window or door units.
Note where the internal face of the SFS is to be plaster boarded reference should also be made to BS8000-8:1994
Workmanship on building sites – code of practice for plasterboard and dry linings.

Fixing Specification
Fixings to Concrete Frame
The recommended fixings for the voestalpine Metsec SFS head/base track to the primary concrete frame are as
follows, unless noted otherwise on the drawings:
1No. 6mm diameter concrete screw with 45mm embedment, at each stud location
2No. 6mm diameter concrete screws with 45mm embedment, at each jamb location
Please refer to table 2 in the SFS fixing tables for further fixing information.
Fixings to Hot Rolled Steel Frame

The recommended fixings for the voestalpine Metsec SFS head/base track to the primary steel frame are as follows,
unless noted otherwise on the drawings:
1No. 5.5mm diameter general framing screw or 2No. powder actuated nails, at each stud location
2No. 5.5mm diameter general framing screws or 4No. powder actuated nails, at each jamb location
Please refer to table 1 in the SFS fixing tables for further fixing information.

Load Bearing Installation Details
In all cases, reference should be made to the project specific design and drawings for all component section sizes and
specific details. General framing details are given a SF prefix, while bespoke details are given a PD prefix.
It is paramount that the supporting structure is set out correctly to receive the SFS base and head tracks to allow for
easy installation on-site.
Base Tracks should be installed as per the SF100 series details. No overhang is permitted.
Studs can be installed as per the SF300 series of details. Studs shall be plumbed, aligned and securely
attached/located within the base and head tracks. The ends of the studs must fit snugly and squarely into the head
and base tracks to transfer the loads in the structure. Deflection heads should not be used in load bearing applications
unless designed specifically by Metsec.
Openings can be framed as per the SF400 series of details. Where compound sections are shown for lintels, cills & jamb
studs these sections should be full length and not spliced.
Resistance to bending and rotation about the minor axis shall be provided by blocking and strapping as shown on the
drawings and detail SF361.
Temporary and permanent bracing may be required to the walls as per details SF711 to SF714 and should be installed
before any floor or roof joists.
Floors and Roofs can be installed following the SF600 series of drawings. Track and joist connections can be made
using details SF610 to SF617 using the quantity of fixings shown. Joists can also be installed as per details SF621 to
SF625. Where joists run parallel to SFS walls or other building elements then they should be connected using details
SF631 to SF637. Resistance to bending and rotation about the minor axis shall be provided by restraint details SF641
to SF644 as shown on the drawings. Openings and cold rolled beams can be constructed as per details SF645 and
SF651 to SF653 when specified on the drawings.
In order to meet disproportionate collapse requirements all connections should have the correct number of fixings as
shown on the details and in addition where there the building is more than one storey in height then the wall
connections should be as details SF721 to SF723.
Examples of various roof constructions can be found in details SF731 to SF735. These show typical examples and
therefore project specific drawings should be followed.
Details for the fixing of finishes can be found in the SF800 series of details and in all cases the installation of these
components should be done with to the manufacturers’ recommendations.
