Framing Your Build: Why We Choose Steel​

The choice of framing material is a crucial decision when converting a vehicle into a mobile living space.


Steel framing offers numerous advantages in van conversions.

The lightweight nature of steel framing contributes to improved fuel efficiency, a crucial factor for van dwellers.

Its inherent fire resistance adds an extra layer of safety, providing peace of mind on the road.

Steel’s dimensional stability ensures that the van’s structure remains true over time, preventing issues like squeaky floors or misaligned doors. Moreover, steel framing allows for greater design flexibility, enabling the creation of unique and innovative layouts.

Unmatched Strength: Steel’s high tensile strength makes it incredibly resistant to warping, cracking, and bending, even under heavy loads or harsh impacts. This is particularly beneficial in off-road situations where the vehicle may encounter rough terrain or unexpected obstacles.
