Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have questions about light steel? Let's try to answer them!
How durable is Cold-Formed Steel?
Galvanized cold-formed steel does not easily break down, crack, or split. It is also resistant to insects that can destroy wood.
How safe are Steel Buildings?
Cold formed and strengthened steel can protect you, your family, and your home. For protection against the high wind, fire, and lightning damage to your home, steel frame selection is important.
Is steel a recyclable material?
The steel recycling rate is the highest rate in the whole industrial field with 86%. The steel framing offers alternative recycling possibilities so its cycle does not end in a landfill.
What is the environmental impact of using steel framing?
Steel framing is friendly for the environment. It takes 40-50 mature trees if you use conventional wood framing to frame a 200-square-meter house but six recycled cars are enough to frame a house the same size. This issue demonstrates the importance of steel for sustainability and its impact for the next generations.
How well does steel framing protect against earthquakes?
The straightness of the steel can provide protection for earthquakes and hurricanes. The strong connections and light structures result in less damage from the seismic force. Steel is a good structure product for minimizing earthquake damage because of its ductility. In earthquake areas, 550MPA high tensile steel is used in LGSF.
Does galvanized steel provide better rust protection for a steel frame home rather than enamel-coated steel?
Galvanized steel provides better rust protection because the zinc’s galvanic effect heals the steel for scratches and abrasions. With the rough handling that construction products receive, as well as the cutting, drilling, shearing, and fastening of units, the coating gets cut and scraped away. Galvanization is better than enamel for cuts or scratches.
Will a steel-framed home look different from other homes?
It is no different than the other homes. The isolation and facade of the standard construction can be applied to light steel frame houses the same way.
Can a steel-framed building be remodeled?
Because the steel framing can provide large spans, less internal load-bearing walls are needed. This can provide more flexibility and innovative design with remodeling.
Will a steel frame building rust?
The steel is covered by isolation and cladding materials. The use of zinc coating on the steel framing protects the steel from corrosion for the life of the structure.
Is a steel frame safe from lightning in storms?
A steel frame actually provides more protection for occupants as it provides a direct path to the ground in the event of a lightning strike. This reduces the possibility of explosion or fire. It is safer than conventional structures.
What can I use to clad the steel frame with?
There are some products to cover the outside of the building like fiber Cement Boards, Gypsum Boards and MGO Boards. Also, the additional exterior can be covered with brick, weather plate, and concrete slabs. All have excellent thermal properties and fire ratings.
What can I use for Infill Insulation?
There are a wide variety of alternatives such as Rockwool, Glasswool, Foam Concrete, CLC, Styrofoam and EPS. These can be used as fill insulation.
Can I build an LGSF Structure over an existing building built with conventional construction technology?
Definitely possible. You can create Vertical extensions on any existing building with LGSF technology.
What is the Limitation of LGSF Constructions?
If we talk about 100% LGS Technology, the limitation is usually up to 10 story building, as the maximum thickness used is usually 2mm. But if we make HYBRID STRUCTURES of LGS with a combination of other technologies such as RCC Frames or Heavy Gauge Hot Rolled Steel Frames, there is no upper limit.
