Structural Framing Systems (SFS) London
Internal Linings are experienced SFS contractors serving London and the South East. We install light gauge, galvanised steel structural framing systems for external walls and high-rise construction projects. With over 40 years as specialist drylining contractors, we deliver reliable SFS solutions for commercial and residential developments across London.
What is SFS?
Structural Framing Systems (SFS) use light gauge galvanised steel framing to form the external wall structure of a building. The steel frame supports the external cladding and rainscreen system while providing a substrate for internal dry lining. SFS is the most cost-effective and efficient solution for external wall construction on modern commercial and residential buildings.
Our SFS Services
We provide complete SFS installation services including:
- SFS Infill — steel framing infill between structural floor slabs and columns, the most common application for commercial buildings in London
- Load-Bearing SFS — structural steel framing systems for low to mid-rise construction
- Sheathing & Breather Membranes — external sheathing boards and weather protection membranes
- Insulation — thermal and acoustic insulation within the SFS cavity
Why SFS?
SFS offers significant advantages over traditional construction methods for external walls:
- Faster installation than blockwork, reducing programme time
- Lighter weight, reducing structural loads and foundations costs
- Consistent quality and dimensional accuracy
