Why use steel over timber: A home construction guide Written by | realestateview.com.au in buying EVERYONE knows the story of the three little pigs and the big bad wolf. A house made of straw and another with sticks, both blown over by the wolf ’s huff ing and puff ing, until he arrives at the mighty brick house. Well, if there were a fourth dwelling in this story, the pigs would be wise to consider making it f rom steel. Steel plays a massive role in constructing homes, buildings and inf rastructure, not only in Australia, but throughout the world. While iron was imported f rom Great Britain during the early days of Federation, residential construction in Sydney greatly benef ited f rom the structural steel produced at the newly opened Newcastle steelworks in 1915. More than 100 years later, modern residential and commercial buildings still leverage off this incredible material, using revolutionary computer technologies to cut and fabricate steel into more robust and intricate shapes. While other materials such as timber are still used for residential construction, many think there is a clear winner in the battle of steel versus wood, such as Sydney steel fabricators, Steel Builders. Creating smarter solutions through steel, these guys know a thing or two about home construction, especially when choosing suitable materials for the job.
Here they detail some of the reasons steel is so tough to overlook. Strength to weight ratio You’re only as strong as your weakest link. Steel is a manufactured material with isotropic properties, meaning it has the same level of strength everywhere. Wood on the other hand is anisotropic, meaning its density varies along and across the grain. This therefore gives steel the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any current building material. Steel plays a massive role in constructing homes, buildings, and inf rastructure worldwide and in Australia. Flexibility and movement Thanks to its isotropic properties, steel is much stiffer than timber, allowing for less movement. CAD (computer-aided design) drafting has also allowed for the production of flexible steel construction, which means much of the labour can be done off-site, making on-site assembly more straightforward. Termites can’t eat steel beams It’s pretty obvious, but one of the clear benef its of using steel is the fact that it’s termite-proof. While these wood-hungry pests can be a nightmare for timber struc-
STEEL OR WOOD: Steel frame homes some believe is a clear winner. tures, choosing steel means there’s no risk of having to make an emergency call to your local pest control companies. Heat and f ire resistance Throw a bit of timber into a f ire and you’ve got f irewood. Throw a piece of steel into the flames and you’ve got a hot piece of metal. In addition to being non-combustible, steel can retain its shape at high temperatures, dramatically reducing the risk of f ire and catastrophe. Steel also makes for an excellent
insulator, as heat can quickly radiate f rom steel roof ing, creating a cooler home in hotter climates. Recycling steel One fact that surprises people the most is that steel is 100 per cent recyclable, with most structural steel buildings in Australia using 100 per cent recycled steel. Steel Builders, for example, locally source their materials to meet Australian Standards. Furthermore, steel doesn’t require treatment against pests and hazards, reducing the need for toxic chemicals.

Ŷ VIBRANT PERFORMANCE: The upgraded Stinger GT has taken on a greater ‘heroic’ mantle for the Kia sports sedan range.
Sedan laps up more ‘Sting’ in tail THE Stinger GT has a new spring in its step and added sting in the tail, thanks to a new factory-developed exhaust system and LED combination tail lamp layout, plus upgraded safety tech. The Kia MY21 sports sedan flag bearer heads a rejigged range, with a choice of a four-cylinder or V6 engine, driving the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission. The twin-turbo V6 powered Kia has been forging a strong link with police services around Australia as an operational intercept and road command vehicle. Buyers can get to experience the Stinger’s gran turismo personality with the
By DEREK OGDEN entry-level 200 S and its turbo-charged 2.0-litre fourcylinder motor for a driveaway price of $53,090, while the much heralded 3.3 litre twin-turbo V6 GT, at $67,690 drive away, garners little touches that add greatly to the appeal. Then there’s the Kia seven-year unlimited kilometre warranty. STYLING Kia says designers toned down any brutal characteristics, combining elegance with an athletic look. Not that everything is soft and gentle. There is still the Kia signature ‘tiger-nose’ grille, bold LED headlamps and two twin oval exhaust pipes with larger
tips than previously, while the clever dynamic bending headlights are retained. A flat underbody and rear diffuser enhance aerodynamics. A new alloy wheel design has thinner spokes than before to further highlight the high performance Brembo brakes. Indeed, the Neon Orange Stinger GT test vehicle was a sight to behold, a fact that did not go un-noticed on the street. SAFETY Improved autonomous emergency braking now has cyclist detection and junction assist, the latter using a camera and radar to apply the brakes if danger is detected while turning across oncom-
ing traffic. Road edge detection has been added to lane keeping assist, if the car is heading off the road and lane following assist uses a camera to keep the vehicle out of the weeds. Rear cross-traffic collision avoidance brakes avoid traffic from either side when reversing. DRIVING With 510 Nm torque topping out at a low 1300 rpm and sticking around until 4500 revs the Stinger GT is not shy on showing its versatility - on the one hand a grand tourer, on the other an out-and-out sports sedan. Then, there’s the 274 kW of power, peaking at 6000 rpm, with a nod to the race-
track with launch control. Left foot on the brake and gearshift in drive; flatten the accelerator pedal and release the foot brake, and whoosh. The drivetrain goes ga-ga with an accompanying turboboosted engine / exhaust noise. There are five different dial-up driving modes - Sport, Comfort, Eco, Smart and Custom - the last had the car coming to terms with the highly variable road conditions found in Australia, while Sport produced a rough ride more suitable for the smoother racetrack surfaces. Eco held little attraction. Worth a mention is the blind spot monitor, which projects a camera image from
the mirrors in the driver’s display as soon as the turn indicator is activated. The blind spot collision avoidance assist produces a warning and automatically controls the car to help avoid a collision. The smart key offers the chance to remotely start the engine and have the climate reach the optimum settings before getting into the cabin. Also smart is the power tailgate that can be set to four pre-determined opening heights from an in-car menu. SUMMARY The Stinger GT gives full vent to the sports sedan fan’s every wish ... at a somewhat steep price. The cheaper alternative is to become a highway patrol police officer.

Audi Q2 - premium performance in a compact SUV By ALISTAIR KENNEDY THE Q2 is the entry-level model into the Audi’s fivemodel SUV range sitting below the Q3, Q5, Q7 and Q8. Between them they account for around 80 per cent of the brand’s total Australian sales. First released in late 2017, and upgraded in February 2021, the Q2 now comes in two variants: 1.5-litre 35 TFSI and 2.0-litre quattro 40 TFSI. STYLING As with most vehicles in the booming compact SUV segment the Q2 treads that very fine line of distinction between hatchback and SUV. The large single frame grille with its four intersecting ring badge immediately identifies it as an Audi. The 2021 upgrade gets a more chiselled look that really
suits it as do the new pentagonal shape to the front (dummy) air inlets and rear bumper trim. SAFETY Audi Q2 gets a five-star rating from both Euro NCAP and ANCAP with standard features that include six airbags; electronic stability program with enhanced ABS brakes; blind spot monitoring; Audi’s presense city with autonomous emergency braking and pedestrian and cyclist detection; tyre pressure warning; IsoFix child-seat mounts; plus automatic headlights and windscreen wipers. DRIVING Entry is a bit awkward for taller drivers and, once seated, we found it necessary to drop the driver’s seat to its lowest setting to get comfortable thus losing the extra driving height that makes SUVs popular.
Around town the Q2 was sharp and manoeuvrable. It cruised effortlessly on the motorway but out onto our local country roads was where it came into its own. SUMMING UP Audi Q2 is a stylish compact SUV at a reasonable price (for a premium car, that is). It’s easy to drive and park in its urban natural habitat but, especially in AWD mode, can provide plenty of driving enjoyment in more challenging rural conditions. Audi’s warranty remains at the lower end of the scale with three years but unlimited distance.
Ŷ SIZE ISN’T EVERYTHING: The Audi Q2 confirms that good things do come in small packages.
