Light Gauge Steel
What is Light Gauge Structure
This light gauge steel frame is developed through a cold-formed process without the use of heat. This process enables steel manufacturers to produce light-weight but high tensile steel sheets. The sheet surface is coated with a zinc alloy that completely covers the steel surface and seals it from the corrosive action of its environment. This results in buildings that are more solid, rigid, stronger, durable and easier to build.
As such, the light gauge steel frame system is an attractive alternative for use in landed properties. This is particularly in view of concerns on the depletion of timber resources and low productivities associated with reinforced concrete construction.
Why use light Gauge steel framing system?
Benefits Buildability:
The use of pre-fabricated and preassembled steel components reduces site works, reduces material waste and improves quality.
Speed
This system requires a shorter construction period compared to that for a conventional system.
Strong but Lightweight
Steel has one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios of any construction material. This results in savings in the foundation required and the lightness also makes for easier on-site handling.
Safety
Steel’s inherent strength and non-combustible qualities enable light steel frame houses to resist such devastating events as fires, earthquakes, and hurricanes. Homes can be designed to meet the highest seismic and wind load specifications in any part of the country.
Quality
A better quality finished house that is durable and low in maintenance.
Easy to Remodel
Re-modelling can be easily accomplished. Non-load bearing walls can be readily relocated, removed or altered.
Design Flexibility
Because of its strength, steel can span longer lengths, offering larger open spaces and increased design flexibility without requiring intermediate columns or load bearing walls.
Recyclable
All steel products are recyclable.
