Dryform Limited, Ireland, has just received a Technical Approval from BRE Certification for the Dryform Light Steel Frame (LSF) Building System.
A pan-BRE team was involved in assessing the system for a range of performance attributes and the work was completed in just six months.
The Technical Approval confirms the LSF system's suitability for use in constructions up to three storeys in height for single or multi occupancy residential buildings with a variety of floor plans. The system is based on a series of factory assembled wall frames and floor constructions incorporating either steel floor joists and timber panels or composite of steel and concrete to provide the finished loadbearing structure.
Technical Approval certificates provide independent third party assessment of the performance, quality, consistency and fitness for use of building and construction products against the requirements of applicable sections of the UK Building Regulations.
BRE Certification certificates are recognised in UK Building Regulations Approved Documents and by the NHBC, Zurich Municipal and Building Control. Certificates are valid for three years, subject to regular satisfactory surveillance assessments. Designers, specifiers and users can access these certificates from all of the major construction electronic databases.
