Light Gauge Steel Frame System
Light gauge steel frames have heralded a promising new trend in prefabricated steel structure construction. Light Gauge Steel Frames (LGSF) or cold-formed steel structural members are material shapes that are commonly manufactured from steel plate, sheet or strip material using advanced computer-controlled cold forming machinery. The cold-formed steel allows light gauge steel framing manufacturers in India to produce lightweight steel sheets that are coated with a zinc alloy that covers the steel surface and which have high tensile strength. This enables the manufacturers to protect their steel sheets and frames from the corrosive action of their environment, resulting in stronger, more durable, and solid buildings that are easier to build than with conventional construction. Another reason why new age construction companies prefer to work with LGSF is because they have a superior strength to weight ratio and the builds can be engineered to withstand extreme loads. The amount of waste generated in construction with LGSF is comparatively much less, which means there is less waste to be disposed of or removed from site. The waste that is generated can easily be recycled because steel is 100% recyclable. Light gauge steel framing manufacturers in India emphasise that their materials do not contribute to further depletion of natural resources or degradation of the environment.
As one among the leading light gauge steel framing manufacturers in India, Steelion provides cold-formed steel that serves as both primary and secondary structures and can be used for an entire building, for complete roof, floor and wall systems or as individual framing members such as studs, joints and truss members in a building. Our Light Gauge Steel Frames are highly durable, have high fire resistance and are non-corrosive, making them practical in high density communities and arid climates prone to wildfires. They are available in coatings such as Galvanised, Galvalume and PosMAC.
