Benefits of Light Gauge Steel Framing
  • Cost savings through reduced construction time
  • Fast-paced construction is ideal with a permanent formwork trussed floor system
  • Can be incorporated for any overall depth floor system and to suit design requirements
  • Framing can be made to suit any size/depth section (including 75mm & 90mm stud) and designed to suit a range of roll-formed and fabricated methods
  • Little to no transfer of noise or vibrations – less noise and disruption for neighbouring buildings
  • LGS has a higher strength to weight ratio compared to timber
  • Steel is weather-proof and will not warp or swell, this also means it is not subject to rot, decay or moisture damage
  • LGS frames are 100% termite-proof and pesticide-free
  • LGS offers design freedom, steel is ideal for open plan housing and offers flexibility for easy alterations and additions if needed
  • Floor trusses allow easy install of services
  • LGS is ideal in cyclonic regions
