Advantages Of Light Gauge Steel Frame
The Light Gauge Steel Framing system is a complete kit featuring a Weather Defence external sheathing board, a Frameboard, and internal plasterboard. It is a cost-effective, durable and versatile solution that offers fast built times and sustainability in every build—widely accepted as a factory produced and offsite engineered solution to commercial buildings
High Strength To Weight Ratio
Reducing total load by up to 60%, compared to
alternative building materials, such as concrete frames enabling easier delivery and quicker installation onsite, saving costs. The lightweight structure, in turn providing relative savings on foundation loads and sizes. Suitable for construction on brownfield sites or pre-existing buildings.
Winter Builds
Panelised factory
assembled products are not
weather dependent and combined
with fast installing products such
as a Weather Defence means External Sheathing
the site can be made weathertight
earlier, allowing follow on trades to
commence.
Future Proof And Future Ready
As an advanced high-performance
offsite solution, steel is a robust, rigid
and dimensionally stable material
that does not suffer from shrinkage, warping and movement
created by moisture-related issues.
Panelisation
Precision engineered offsite panels
reduce waste during manufacture, site labour costs, project cycle time, and improves the quality
with external boards factory fitted.
Fast Completion & Budget Savings
Light gauge steel’s
shorter construction cycle means
equipment can move on and off
site more quickly, lowering crane
and scaffold costs and site prelims
and labour costs.
Sustainability
Steel is a totally recyclable material offering
0% material waste.
Sustainability of a build is achieved by reducing site waste
and the cost of dealing with
the site waste.
Shorter Project Programmes
Shorter construction time reduces
financing costs and shortens the
period of construction liability.
On larger schemes you could
shave months from programmes
compared to concrete builds.
