Light Gauge Steel Frame

The Steel used in the Light Gauge Steel Frame is cold-formed thin-walled section steel, and this kind of steel is overlapped with each other to form the main load-bearing framework. Compared with heavy H-shaped steel, light steel has a lower thickness, usually ranging from 0.5mm to 3.0mm, and is then made into high-strength, lightweight galvanized steel through cold-bending process. The frame structure composed of light steel can bear loads from both the lateral and vertical directions. The high-strength material ensures that the building will not lose its load-bearing capacity, causing it to collapse instantly. Its main application fields include low-rise detached houses, townhouses, small residences, apartment buildings, office buildings, supermarkets, warehouses, vacation homes, etc.

Product Features

High strength and light weight. The structural weight of Light Gauge Steel Frame buildings is lighter than that of concrete structures, exerting less pressure on the foundation and being more stable. Due to the light weight of light steel itself, its cross-sectional area is smaller and it does not occupy the area of the foundation. At the same time, its high strength and hardness can also ensure the stability and safety of the structure.

It has plasticity. Steel has uniform material density, large anisotropy and elastic modulus, excellent plasticity and toughness, and can absorb energy brought by the surroundings. It is applicable to complex architectural designs, such as curved and geometric shapes.

Factory prefabrication speeds up construction time. Our steel structure factory has strict manufacturing standards and advanced production equipment. All the steel structure components are processed in the factory and then transported to the site for installation, which is faster than the construction speed of traditional buildings.

It has good environmental protection performance. The adoption of light steel structures can significantly reduce the consumption of sand, gravel and lime. Using 1 ton of steel structure can reduce the consumption of 7 tons of concrete, thereby alleviating the waste of non-renewable resources. Therefore, the use of light steel structures is conducive to environmental protection and resource conservation.

The degree of civilized construction is high. Compared with other types of buildings, the construction of light steel structures occupies less temporary land and construction sites

There is no rumble of machines or flying dust on the site as in traditional construction sites. The degree of civilized construction in on-site management is high.

Classic Product Cases

Light Gauge Steel Frame detached/townhouse

Light steel frames can easily achieve various modern and complex architectural designs, such as large spans, cantilevered structures, and large floor-to-ceiling Windows, meeting personalized customization needs. The cavities of the walls can be filled with highly efficient thermal insulation and soundproofing materials, making the villa warm in winter and cool in summer, and very quiet. Meanwhile, the building materials are dry, avoiding the moisture in concrete and bricks, and the indoor environment is healthier. The construction period is extremely short. From the foundation to the completion of the fine decoration, it may only take 3 to 4 months, significantly reducing the waiting time.

Apartment buildings, schools, office buildings, hotels

The "cold-formed thin-walled steel shear wall system" is usually adopted as the vertical load-bearing and lateral force-resistant structure, and the floor system uses light steel trusses or composite floor slabs. For taller buildings, they may be combined with traditional steel frames or concrete core tubes. The interior space is regular and orderly. Pipelines can be pre-buried in the wall cavities and floor slabs, which is convenient for maintenance and also increases the clear height of the interior. For hotel and apartment developers, a fast construction speed means an earlier opening, a shortened capital recovery cycle, and huge commercial value.

Supermarkets, warehouses

The construction cost is relatively controllable, the construction speed is fast, and it can be put into operation as soon as possible. The interior space is spacious and the layout of the shelves can be adjusted at any time according to needs. Later expansion is also relatively easy.
