Single point of responsibility · Modern methods of construction

SFS & through-wall

Light-gauge steel framing, sheathing and the complete through-wall package, so one contractor owns the performance of the whole external wall.

SFS & through-wallSFS & through-wall

Overview

Interfaces are where external walls fail. When the frame, board, insulation, membrane and finish all come from different subcontractors, gaps appear between them, both literally and contractually.

Profac can deliver the full through-wall construction, from SFS infill to the final finish. One team, one design, one Golden Thread, and one point of responsibility when the Building Safety Regulator asks the questions.

    FAQs

    Common questions.

    Why use one contractor for the whole wall?
    It removes interface risk. One team designs, installs and documents everything, so responsibility for performance is clear.
    Do you design SFS?
    We coordinate SFS design with our manufacturing partners, including structural calculations and deflection heads.
    Is this suitable for higher-risk buildings?
    Yes. Through-wall packages are where our Building Safety Act experience matters most.
