Product Description
This Steel is cold formed, meaning one, thin sheets are guided through a series of rollers to bend and shape the sheets into strong “C” forms capable of holding heavy loads. They can be sized to conform and van be bent for architectural purposes. The Light gauge steel comes in coils which are pre-galvanized with zinc for corrosion protection.
We use a fully automated engineering design software and manufacturing plant for automated production of structural fames to suit all types of development.
Why Light Gauge Steel Framing Home Kits
- Easier to Work with: Light gauge steel is easily customizable.
- Build Speed: Assembling this type of steel on the build site is more straightforward than working with less predictable materials I.e timber.
- Strong Yet Light: Light gauge steel has the highest strength to weight ratio. In fact, steel weights 60% less than wood. Decreasing the building material weight also makes building a foundation for the structure smaller.
- Durability: Galvanized steel resist decay and corrosion. Unlike wood, steel will not warp, crack, swell, or shrink. Steel will never toy. It is not susceptible to mould or mildew.
- Remodeling Ease: The walls attached to steel framing are often easy to remove. As long as land-bearing parts aren’t removed, nearly any part of the structure can be changed.
- It’s Flexibility: The high strength to weight ratio allow longer spans withouts column, allowing more design possibilities.
- Materials Costs: Light gauge steel is also impervious to the dramatic fluctuations of the lumber industry. Due to shortages, wood often expertness sharp price increases.
- Environmentally Friendly: Steel materials are completely recyclable.
- Non-Combustible: Of course, steel does melt at a very high temperature, but it is still considered non-combustible, it will not ignite.
- Its Resistances: As well as being resistant to fire, rot, mold, and mildew, steel is also resistant to insect damage.
