Light Gauge Steel Framed Structures (LGSF) are innovative buildings made from cold-formed steel components, assembled on-site. This modern construction technique is lightweight, strong, and highly sustainable, making it an ideal solution for various applications.
How LGSF Structures Are Built?
- LGSF components are manufactured in a factory and galvanized to resist corrosion.
- These components are assembled on-site to create the structural framework of a building.
- LGSF can be used for walls, floors, roofs, decks, and more.
- It can serve as either a primary or secondary structural system.
Benefits of LGSF
- Sustainable: Made from recycled steel, LGSF consumes less energy for heating and cooling compared to traditional brick buildings.
- Flexible: Ideal for adding floors or expanding existing structures.
- Strong: Highly durable and less prone to damage, even in earthquake-prone areas.
- Lightweight: Weighs less than wood or concrete, reducing foundation requirements.
Applications of LGSF
LGSF is widely used in constructing:
- Schools and rehabilitation camps
- Hotels and hostels
- Flats and marketing offices
- Residences and bungalows
