Multiple advantages of a CFS skeleton Timber is prone to bending and warping under extreme conditions, such as high or low temperatures, excessive moisture, or high winds. CFS does not suffer from any of these drawbacks. Timber is subject to attack from dry and wet rot, woodworm, termites, borers, carpenter ants, and other insects. CFS is impervious to all such attacks and infestations. Timber is flammable, and in a fire is likely to aid in the total destruction of a property. CFS is non-combustible and can help to retard the spread of a domestic fire. As a result, insurance companies’ rate CFS-framed properties lower than timber-framed ones, thus lowering your insurance premiums. International acceptance Part of the reason for the global spread of FRAMECAD steel-frame housing is the international standards which it meets. The CFS skeletons we provide at FrameUpNow are designed to International Building Code (IBC) Standards. The IBC is responsible, globally, for ensuring that the quality, safety, and sustainability requirements of a construction project are strictly adhered to.
