Flat To Pitch
The BritFrame system is a structural steel frame that converts a flat roof to a pitched roof.
A range of systems are available which are tailored to suit the specific structural and design requirements of the existing roof, offering a permanent solution to resolve common issues associated with flat roofing. The lightweight structural metal frame system has an excellent strength-to-weight ratio.
Constructed using a bespoke lightweight steel frame, BritFrame was specifically designed to produce a roof pitch with the ability to support both traditional tiles and the newer, innovative lightweight solutions available today, without compromising the strength of the structure.
This system has been specified and used on a multitude of fundamental projects including schools, MOD, and social housing.
