Introduction

Metsec PLC manufacturers a comprehensive range of cold rolled steel profiles for both theconstruction and manufacturing industry.

The company was established in 1932 and is now a wholly owned subsidiaryof the Austrian steel manufacturer, VOEST ALPINE STAHL AG.

Metsec Framing division was formed in 1984 and forms one of eight divisions within Metsec.The other divisions are Purlins, Hepsec, Lattice Beams, Metstrut, CRF, Manipulation (MPM)and Windows.

Metsec Framing division has two main products, SFS and Meframe. The SFS product is splitfurther into four distinct product groups: Infill External Walling, Continuous External Walling,High Bay Walling and Load Bearing Structures. This installation guide deals only with theSFS Load Bearing Structures system. For guides for SFS Walling and Metframe pleasecontact Metsec.

The key objectives of this guide are to provide:

General details showing the typical fixing requirements which can be used by installers onsite along with project specific designs and drawings to install the SFS product.

Information for installers to assist with the preparation of specifications, methodstatements and risk assessments.

Site reference guide for contractors.

Product Description - SFSSFS is a fast-track solution to construct external walling, high bay separating walls and loadbearing elements in lightweight cold-rolled galvanized steel sections.

SFS has been extensively used in construction projects covering residential flats, apartments,nursing homes and sheltered accommodation, commercial developments, public buildingsand industrial properties. It is also ideally suited to refurbishment projects, particularlyinvolving sub-division of buildings, conversions or roof extensions.

SFS projects are usually designed in house by Metsec’s team of engineers and typical detailsand calculations are provided to aid construction.

Sections are typically supplied to site as individual components and fully assembled in-situ.This is an advantage where site access/craneage is restricted. Components can be suppliedin final required lengths or standard lengths cut to suit on site. By cutting to length on siteconstruction tolerances in structures being worked alongside can be fully accommodated.

Generally SFS sections are fixed together using self-drilling / self-tapping (Tek) screws.

SFS External Infill Walling requires support at the slab edge between a hot-rolled steel orconcrete frame structures. This allows insulation and external finishes to be installedcontinuously outside the main structural frame. The system is suitable for both low and high-rise constructions.

SFS External Continuous Walling is fitted outside the line of the structural frame using supportcleats at each floor level with connections designed to allow slab deflection. It is particularlysuited to situations where cladding materials are sensitive to differential movement of themainframe.

Both the above systems achieve early weather protection of the building allowing otherinternal fitting trades to work inside the structure and removing external cladding from thecritical path.

SFS external walling will provide lateral support to most cladding materials including masonry,profiled metal sheets, proprietary panels and insulated render systems.

SFS High Bay Walling is a single-span separating wall typically used within existing buildingssuch as warehouses and industrial units. Its lightweight construction and uniformly distributedloading minimizes disruption to the existing structure.

SFS Load Bearing Structures are used to provide individual elements or a complete stand-alone structure. Roofs, floors and internal walls are lightweight, quick to install and flexible indetail and performance characteristics.

SFS structures are particularly suited to developments where access is limited or lightweightloadings are required eg/extensions supported by existing structures.

Only SFS Load Bearing Structures are covered in this guide.

Components - SFSThe following tables show the Metsec Framing standard section ranges for SFS.

These consist of the section profiles listed below;

‘C sections’: Used as studs in wall panels and joists in floor panels.

‘Channels’: Used as tracks on top and bottom of wall panels and ends of floor panels.

‘Angles’: Used for various arrangements to provide additional or temporary support.

‘Straps’: A range of straps is available to use as bracing members when screw fixed toface of wall panels.

Examples of section references are:

100M12 = Lipped C section of 100mm depth, 1.2mm material thickness.‘M’ reference denotes SFS section.

104M12 = Non-lipped channel section of 104mm depth, 1.2mm material thickness.

Where necessary the Metsec SFS range of sections can be used in conjunction with otherranges produced in the Metsec Framing Division.

All components are formed from pre-hot dipped galvanized steel G275 coating, minimumyi el d strengt h = 280N/mm

SFS Load Bearing Structures – Site Installation

To be read in conjunction with all details in sections 1 to 6 and also project specificcalculations and drawings.

Please note that any details shown in project specific calculations/drawings takeprecedent over general details within this installation guide.

The details in this guide are split into sections which follow a sequence similar to howthe systems should be constructed on site.

GENERAL SITE PROCEEDURE GUIDANCE NOTES

It is the installer’s responsibility to produce a cutting list and order Metsec materials. Thisshould be co-ordinated to suit the desired construction programme.

The installer should conduct a site survey to establish the as built dimensions of the ‘mainframe’ to enable material to be ordered in the most economic manner, alternatively materialcan be cut to suit on site. Splices in sections are not permitted except where specificallydesigned by Metsec.

The following points are guidelines that the installer should carefully consider beforeproducing his site-specific method statement:

SFS Sections are delivered to site in bundles on an articulated lorry unless requestedotherwise.

When lifting bundles and hot-rolled steel using a crane a tail line must be used withan operative on the ground to control lift.

Where materials are put into temporary storage on site it must be in designated areas withsuitable protection to prevent damage.

Any materials that are damaged upon arrival on site or during construction must bereported and replaced.

Leading edge protection must be in place throughout roof/floor works and adequatebarriers provided around stairwells and voids. Alternatively a fall arrest system of airbags or netting may be suitable.

Where components need to be cut on site they should be cut with a chopsaw withTCT blade and not an abrasive disk. Care should be taken to cut the componentssquare where they are used in right-angled connections, or as required for an angularfit against abutting members.

Fixing of components shall be with self-tapping screws. Screw type and size shall beas typical details attached / project specific design. Screw details are included inAppendix A. All screw fixings must be installed perpendicular to the surface unlessadvised otherwise.

No holes are to be cut or formed in SFS steelwork without prior reference to Metsec. 72mm deep x 32mm wide service slots can be provided 600mm from each end of

studs when requested. All drylining, insulation and boarding must be installed in accordance with the project

specification and manufacturers recommendations. Drylining specification to be in accordance with the contract requirements for fire

protection, thermal and acoustic performance. Wall make-up is to be agreed with theArchitect.

Plasterboard pallets cannot be loaded onto Metsec Joisted Floors unless previouslyagreed in writing from Metsec and with a loading plan.

Reference should be made to the project specific Metsec drawings and Metsec Design Planand Assessment

LOAD BEARING STRUCTURES

In all cases project specific design and drawings will be necessary to enable installation.Under no circumstances should these types of structures be built off indicative drawings.

In load bearing structures it is important to use the correct number of fixings as shown even ifthe number seams excessive. The quantities of fixings have been specified to meetdisproportionate collapse requirements as laid out in the building regulations.

Material should be stacked adjacent the area it is to be utilized following storage/loadingrestrictions applied by the Main Contractor.

It is important that the supporting structure / foundations are correctly set out to receive basetracks. No overhang of the base track is permitted and hence Metsec recommend that thesupporting structure is constructed larger than required to allow for construction tolerances.

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, alignedand securely attached/located within the base and head tracks. The ends of the studs mustfit 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 specificallyby Metsec.

Openings can be framed as per the SF400 series of details. Where compound sections areshown 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 andstrapping as shown on the drawings and detail SF361.

Temporary and permanent bracing may be required to the walls as per details SF711 toSF714 and should be installed before any floor or roof joists.

Floors and Roofs can be installed following the SF600 series of drawings. Track and joistconnections 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 SFSwalls or other building elements then they should be connected using details SF631 toSF637. Resistance to bending and rotation about the minor axis shall be provided byrestraint details SF641 to SF644 as shown on the drawings. Openings and cold rolled beamscan be constructed as per details SF645 and SF651 to SF653 when specified on thedrawings.

In order to meet disproportionate collapse requirements all connections should have thecorrect number of fixings as shown on the details and in addition where there the building ismore than one storey in height then the wall connections should be as details SF721 toSF723.

Examples of various roof constructions can be found in details SF731 to SF735. These showtypical 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 casesthe installation of these components should be done with to the manufacturers’recommendations.
