The FSM Building System is based on a module of 915mm. The skeleton of a
building consists of a precision made, bolted, pressed steel framework which
does not rely on the wall cladding for any support whatsoever, and is in itself
a rigid structure.
The steel roof is a unique design, each roof unit is one module wide and is made
up of three frames, the bottom frame acting as a support for the ceiling. When
bolted together the roof becomes a rigid unit adding to the strength of the
structure.
In addition, the roof is designed to span the full width of the building, so
that internal partitions can be completely removed without affecting the
stability of the structure.
The ceiling height can be specified at 2.4m (standard), 2.7m (hot climate), 3m
to 4.2m (classrooms, kitchens, storage etc)
Floor and Base Frame
|
The external walls are supported on a
2,5mm “Z” shaped base frame, which in turn is bolted to the concrete or brick
perimeter wall. A light foundation is required under the outer walls only,
internal walls are supported on the concrete floor slab.
|
 |
Walls
|
Exterior and interior walls are made
from 9mm Nutec sheets which are asbestos free. The total wall thickness is 95mm
with a cavity of 75mm. Of this cavity, a 25mm polystyrene sheet is bonded to
the inner wall panel to improve insulation. Optional wall panels include 0.58mm
Cromadek or Fibre Cement ‘woodgrain’ boards. Internal partitions are made from
a Nutec and polystyrene sandwich panel.
|
 |
Doors

All interior doors are 40mm hollow
core construction with a decorative woodgrain finish. Exterior doors can be
clad with a chromadek skin or solid timber doors can be specified. Single or
double glass doors can also be specified for offices or stores. The rebated
door frames are made from 1,6mm steel. Exterior doors are fitted with a 3 lever
mortice lock and interior doors with a 2 lever lock.

Roof and Ceiling

with an integral ceiling supporting frame. The ceiling is insulated with
reflective aluminium foil or a fibre glass insulation blanket. The ceiling
boards are 6mm thick fibre cement panels and the roof is covered with
0.6mm galvanized IBR sheeting. Facias, gutters and down pipes can be
supplied if required. Alternative roof sheeting such as chromadek, harvey
tiles, fibre cement, etc can be specified.
