Infill SFS
Infill SFS is normally fitted at the slab edge spanning vertically between the hot rolled steel frame or concrete frame of the primary structure. This enables the external wall to make up to be installed continuously outside the main structural frame. With this steel framing system, deflection is accommodated at each stud position using deflection brackets or slotted head tracks.
Oversail SFS
Oversail SFS is fitted outside the line of the primary structural frame utilising restraint cleats tied back to the structure at each floor level. With this steel framing system, the restraint cleats are fixed back to the primary structure at each stud position and slab deflection is accommodated using slotted restraint cleats.
