A steel frame made from TRUECORE® steel is strong.
The inherent strength and durability of TRUECORE® steel provides structural integrity in all types of environments and conditions - from Australia’s cyclone-prone north to the cold climate regions of the south; in bushland, where fire is an ever present threat, and near the coast. Backed by a 50 year BlueScope Steel warranty* when used in residential house frame applications, TRUECORE® steel provides homeowners with the peace of mind of knowing their most valuable asset is protected by the strength of steel.

If I cut, drill or scratch COLORBOND® steel or ZINCALUME® steel, will it cause the exposed steel at the cut edge or scratch to rust?
BlueScope Steel recommend 'cold cutting' coated steel products. If this recommendation is followed, these products will 'self heal', that is, the zinc in the surrounding coating will protect the newly exposed edge. How does this happen? In the presence of moisture, a reaction occurs between the zinc and the steel which results in galvanic protection of the exposed steel, thereby inhibiting corrosion. The degree of protection depends on the thickness of the coating (the amount of zinc), and this is taken into account when Building Standards are formulated.
