Steel frame design: Designing A-Frame tiny homes with TRUECORE® Steel for durability

At Atlas Frames, we’re passionate about helping you bring your dream home to life, no matter its size. Today, we’re excited to explore the world of steel frame design for A-frame tiny homes and show you why TRUECORE® steel is the perfect material for these charming, compact structures.

The allure of A-Frame tiny homes

A-frame houses have been capturing imaginations since the 1950s, and it’s easy to see why. Their distinctive triangular shape offers a unique blend of simplicity and style. Now, combined with the tiny home movement, A-frame designs are experiencing a renaissance.

Here’s why:

1. Efficient use of space
   The sloping walls naturally create loft areas, perfect for sleeping or storage.
2. Natural light
   Large windows at the front and back flood the interior with light.
3. Weather-resistant
   The steep roof easily sheds rain and snow.
4. Iconic look
   A-frames have a timeless, instantly recognisable silhouette.

Why choose TRUECORE® Steel for your A-frame tiny home?

At Atlas Frames, we specialise in TRUECORE® steel framing, and we believe it’s the ideal choice for A-frame tiny homes.

Here’s why:

1. Strength and durability
   TRUECORE® steel offers an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, perfect for the unique structural demands of an A-frame design. It resists warping, twisting, and shrinking, ensuring your tiny home maintains its shape for years to come.
2. Design flexibility
   The strength of steel allows for larger spans and fewer support structures, giving you more freedom towards customised steel frame designs and interior layout. This is particularly beneficial in a tiny home where every centimetre counts.
3. Fire resistance
   TRUECORE® steel is non-combustible, providing an extra layer of safety for your tiny home, especially important in bushfire-prone areas.
4. Pest resistance
   Unlike timber, steel is impervious to termites and other wood-boring pests, eliminating a major concern for many homeowners.
5. Sustainability
   Steel is 100% recyclable, aligning perfectly with the eco-friendly ethos of many tiny home enthusiasts. Plus, its durability means less waste over time.
