LGSF : Light gauge steel framing

LGSF technology or Light gauge steel framing technology is a construction technology that majorly uses cold formed steel as the construction material. This is ideal for use in roof systems, floor systems, wall systems, roof panels, decks or even entire buildings. A relatively new technology in the construction industry, it is increasingly becoming the norm and being preferred by a majority of firms engaged in this sector. This can be primarily attributed to the various benefits accorded by this technology such as safer structures, minimal maintenance requirements and many more. As for the future, we can expect that LGSF technology will become more and more popular and it's usage will keep increasing.

Features of Light gauge steel framing

  • Since in Light gauge steel framing, cold rolled steel sections are galvanized with coating, it ensures optimal corrosion resistance.
  • The enhanced strength as a result of this system of construction ensures much safer structures, with negligible maintenance required.
  • The structures are manufactured under controlled factory conditions, resulting in high productivity and efficiency.
  • This system is perfectly suited for expansion of existing structures, addition of newer floors etc.
  • It accords unparalleled design possibilities such as a wide range of cladding, roofing and glazing options are available.



Application areas of Light gauge framing system

  • These are ideal for mass housing projects such as slum redevelopment programs, labour accommodation, government funded housing projects for poor and many more.
  • These are perfectly suited for projects such as solar panel framing, inverter rooms, generator rooms and site offices.
  • Light gauge steel framing can also be very useful in building farm house projects, gated communities, private second homes etc.
  • Light gauge framing system structures are known to be very energy efficient, thus these are ideal for use in areas with harsh weather conditions.
  • Another sector these are suited for is industrial projects, to give an example – sometimes supplementary structures are required on a site to complement existing construction work. These are ideal for use in such projects also.
