JG King: The Masters of Steel Frame Design
As one of Australia's leading home builders, JG King Homes have carved out a niche in the industry by prioritising safety, sustainability, and durability – all critical factors in an era marked by environmental challenges and shifting consumer demands.
Specialising in steel framed homebuilding, the bones of a JG King Home are borer proof, termite proof, warp proof & fireproof.
So, what is a Steel Frame?
Unlike timber, steel does not warp, twist, or expand, ensuring a consistently stable and robust structure. A lot of people are not aware that timber is a living, breathing product that continues to change throughout its life, whilst steel is a material that can be built to exacting standards, and does not shift, adjust or change throughout its life.
Using steel for your home’s framing provides a much more sturdy & durable skeleton than timber. This stability translates to fewer maintenance issues and a longer lifespan for homes, making steel frames an excellent long-term investment.
JG King Homes recognised this shift. Their foresight in adopting and mastering steel frame technology has positioned them as industry leaders, and was made standard for their home builds back in 1985.
Steel frames offer unparalleled resistance to environmental threats. They are naturally termite-resistant, eliminating the risk of pest damage that often plagues timber structures. Additionally, being non-combustible, steel provides a critical advantage in bushfire-prone areas, offering enhanced safety and peace of mind. The durability of steel frames also means they can withstand the unpredictable weather patterns associated with climate change, ensuring that homes remain safe and secure in the long term.
The combination of these benefits—strength, stability, termite resistance, and fire safety—makes steel framing a prudent choice for homeowners. This evolution in construction materials reflects a broader trend towards more resilient and sustainable building practices, perfectly aligning with the needs of modern Australian living.
JG King Homes’ Commitment to Quality and Innovation
JG King Homes has established itself as a leader in the construction industry by prioritising the use of advanced materials like TRUECORE® steel frames and COLORBOND® steel roof as standard inclusions for all homes.
TRUECORE® is a high-strength steel used in building frames, coated with a zinc-alloy for resistance against termites, fire, and corrosion, ensuring long-lasting, low-maintenance homes.
COLORBOND® steel, used for roofing, is renowned for its durability and resistance to harsh weather, available in a range of colours for both protection and aesthetic appeal.
By integrating these materials, JG King Homes provides structures that are not only safe and durable but also energy-efficient and sustainable.
Their 45+ year warranties for both products underscores their confidence in the longevity and resilience of their homes, making them a top choice for homeowners seeking long-term value.
