STEELWORLD DURATRUSS
Traditional building methods are being challenged by the evolution of technology and a new age of thinkers. Steelworlds forward thinking has provided the basics in roofing for the last decade. We focus our efforts in innovation, energy efficiency and product quality,
to create sustainable roofing solutions and now turnkey structures to supplement the traditional mechanism, to bring about an
revolutionary new concepts in roofing and housing for the African Continent.
Our market demands quality and durability, Steelworld Roofing Systems ensures their part, by further extending their capabilities into
cost efficient solutions for the housing sector across the African Continent. This need is met with our own Duratruss Systems – advanced
alternative building and roofing solutions to meet the needs of the entire building and construction sectors.
Duratruss Roofing Kits – Light weight steel trusses, tile battens, ceiling battens screws and profiled sheets (range off options)
Duratruss Framing Solutions- Lightweight structural panels deigned in specified formats to create walling aspects for new buildings and
extensions to existing structures. Extensive architectural capabilities
Lipped Channel Roofs- Hot rolled channels used in mass development projects covered with the choice of profiled sheets.
Profiled sheets- IBR, Corrugated, Widespan are cld roll formed to specifications and lengths used generally for roofing or cladding. Bull
nose and cranked on site to specifications for the building of commercial and industrial sectors.
STEELWORLD ROOFING SYSTEMS PROVIDES THE BEST SERVICE FOR SUSTAINABLE PROGRESS
DELIVERING THE BEST IN ROOFING STRUCTURES FOR MASS CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
Quality precision made light weight steel trusses and Designed on our 3D software and manufactured to specifications. Flat pack form allows for bulk delivery. Saving costs on logistics. The easy assembly of the products reduces cost on both labour and time. This solution
saves contractors up to 30%.
DURATRUSS ROOF TRUSSES
Welcome to the future of light weight steel frame design, manufacturing. Equipped to cater for mass building projects the capacity of our truss manufacturing division offers contractors a simpler cost efficient solution. Our roofing kits provide a holistic solution for the speedy deliver and turn around times required when building in mass projects With Duratruss technology and Duratruss building products, you can turn architectural inspiration into commercial reality much faster and more cost-effectively than ever before.
Duratruss is the world’s most advanced end-to-end frame design and manufacturing system, allowing you to mass produce cold formed steel frames
with precision accuracy that is determined by the system, not the skill level of factory workers or on-site assemblers.
- Manufactured from high tensile galvanized or alu-zinc steel.
- Transported flat-pack & assembled on site=cost saving on transport.
- Simple assembly technique, no jigs required.
- Light weight and easy to handle.
- Fewer trusses required per roof=quicker erection time.
- No warping, shrinkage or rot.
- Not subject to termite or borer attack.
- Purlins/battens are manufactured to size=minimal waste.
- Engineered to carry concrete tiles or sheeting.
- Steel is recyclable.
- Local skills development.
Design
3D models are designed on Cad to precision. Outlining the truss or frame structural details to be printed on our state of the art
cold roll formed process, using industry specifications and world class software
Manufacture
Duratruss lightweight steel trusses are produced to specifications and meet industry standards, it bears all the qualities and
strength of load bearing and span coverage to ensure a precise fit on every project
Deliver
Duratruss transport cords and webs are multi stacked in a flat pack format reducing transport costs. This method effectively
allows for large quantities to be supplied and offers options for a complete roofing kits to be supplied in a single load.
FLAT PACK TRANSPORTATION
Up to 60 roofs delivered in a single load

LIGHTWEIGHT STEEL LSF MODULAR BUILDING SOLUTIONS
Our capacity to design and formulate architectural grandeur, is met by our professional design
team and the most competent manufacturing teams. Duratruss extends its capabilities and
capacity into the creation of stud and track solutions to deliver on and meet the housing needs in
the South African country and the continent at large.
There is very little limitations as the system can be used for multi storey residential, commercial
and industrial building. Both for internal and external walling and facade walls.
The Duratruss roofing Solution is now supported by the complete structural supply of the stud and
track solution that is quick to manufacture, simpler to transport in bulk. Easy assembly on site
reduces the labour, time to complete mass projects.

LIGHTWEIGHT STEEL MODERN BUILDING METHOD
Lightweight steel building has been around since the 1940s. The usage has steadily evoled and became the Modern Methods of Construction. It has been widely used in the construction sector for
the construction of medium and high rise buildings. Its is becoming a highly recognised building method due to its impact on the environment and the benefits to the end user
The properties of light gauge steel are being utilised, not only as a cladding system but as a complete building product, replacing bricks and blocks with thin studs of steel fixed together to form
non-load bearing or load bearing walls. Width and thickness vary from 40mm – 225 mm and thicknesses from 00.56mm to 3.2mm according to the load bearing or non-load bearing positioning
within a structures interior or exterior segments. The entire structure is then covered with a protective cover/cladding in a multitude of preferred finishes . The thermal insulation properties are
quite superior to the traditional brick and mortar buildings.
Lightweight Steel has the best strength to weight ration compared to concrete.
- 6 tons of steel performance is equal to an estimate 120 tons of concrete
- Its light weight properties means less substantial foundations (depending on ground conditions
- Its light weight characteristics also benefits the supply chain as it is less deliveries and in larger quantities
- Manufacturing process workmenship delivers precision of +-0 to 2mm tolerance on the components
- Lightweight steel building minimises traffic, wastage, labour and time spent constructing the buildings
- Positive savings for developers and minimises impact on environment
- Reduced cost for super structures compared to traditional building methods
- Cheaper than traditional methods of building
- Light gauge steel’s long roof and floor span capabilities also add to its diversity
- Rooms can be changed around within the building by simply moving interior walls which do not require demolition as opposed to other methods. They can also be disassembled and reused or recycled unlike, for example, insulated concrete formwork walls
- Exterior insulation helps improve loss of thermal conductivity
- Well insulated structures reduce exposure to elements and improve the life span of the lightweight steel structure, compared to the wood frame and trusses that deteriorate over time and are affected by insects and a variety of animals.
- Applications of double plaster board in staggered positions helps improve fire resistance
- The metal attributes of the lightweight steel frames are unique and can be recycle and reused with out its quality decreasing
- Unlike traditional forms of construction light gauge steel benefits from low waste, adaptability, off site manufacture, re-usability, recyclability and resource efficiency making it one of the most sustainable building methods available
Deliver a greater volume of sustainable, affordable and high quality homes in less time
