Victoria (VIC), and particularly Melbourne, are areas in Australia noted for their high level of liveability overall. If you’re looking to buy or build a home in this region, you certainly should be prepared for some steep competition. This is one of the major reasons why steel kit homes have become so popular with VIC locals.
The decision to buy a kit home can make sense for several other reasons, with the immense cost savings and design flexibility being the most obvious ones. However, important additional advantages emerge when that choice is further constrained to the most astute discernment in a kit home, i.e. one with a steel frame. Any astute owner or investor in VIC will surely be intrigued by these benefits. Let’s look a little closer now.
There are advantages that come with steel framing. These are made especially apparent when contrasted with the main alternative in house framing, which is timber. Steel framing is lighter than wood and is non-combustible. Unlike wood framing, steel is 100% termite and borer proof. Plus, it is safe from mould and fungi. Timber framing can succumb to rot and can shrink, twist and warp with time and under strained conditions. Steel frame homes can withstand all this and more.
However, is steel sustainable for the environment? Steel, as well as being energy efficient, is also environmentally friendly. Steel is a fully recyclable material, has a high configuration adaptability and, unlike timber as a framing material, requires little maintenance. It’s great to know a steel kit home not only takes far less of a toll on your hip pocket but means less wastage and more sustainability overall.
Steel kit homes are among the options available in kit homes, and they are an incredibly smart choice for the VIC demographic. They are also a wise option considering the weather conditions that prevail in the area.
Victoria, as the southernmost state on the mainland, has a typically cool climate, which includes snowfall in the winter. However, quite a few areas in VIC are particularly susceptible to bushfires, since a large portion of the terrain is continuously exposed to dry and windy conditions (with occasional peaks in hot weather). What this means is that some specialised selections in housing materials are highly recommended.
Provided you acquire a steel kit home from an amenable company, you are enabled choices like double glazing and Low E glass, specialised under floor insulation, and full home insulating systems that are designed specifically to each dwelling. In addition, skilled suppliers can engineer designs that can accommodate snow loads, flood plains, high winds, harsh salt air environments and the dangers inherent in bushfire attack regions. With an ability for suitability to be tailored for the VIC environment and landscape, there’s no wonder steel kit homes are such a popular option.
