3. Light Gauge Steel Structure System:   Light Gauge Steel Structure System (L.G.S.) is best suited for the construction of villas, residential and commercial compounds with high standards and luxury finishing. The system has the following advantages:   Main Features of the LGSS: Light weight Time saving (4 times faster than traditional construction) Cost effective (20% - 30% less than traditional construction) Quicker return on investment Rust & fire resistant Sound and heat Proof Convenience in mechanical and electrical installations Ability to construct up to 4 floors Controlled by international standards.

What is Light Gauge Steel (LGS) Light gauge steel is also known as cold-formed steel LGS is formed by cold rolling thin steel sheet into precise, uniform shapes. Thin steel sheet is: Typically 0.4 to 3.0 mm thick Pre-galvanized for corrosion prevention The steel elements are Manufactured in factories with consistent quality Always dimensionally correct Do not contain knots, twists, cracking or warps Eliminating man made mistakes on the job site In building construction, the commonly used section s are “C”,”U” or “Z” shapes used as roof purlins and side rails to support the cladding in industrial buildings. Why use LGS Structure System Time saving Convenience in mechanical and electrical installations Cost effective Quicker return on investment Low maintenance Rust resistant Well insulation Fire resistant Earthquake resistant Termites and pests resistant Controlled by International Standards Superior sound control.

Properties of LGS Lightweight Very high strength to weight ratio Formed into precisely engineered sections to ensure that no material is wasted Re-used and recycled Consistent quality Easy to handle Strong, dimensionally stable and easy to use system Flexible in design of large spans, straight walls. Static Properties of LGS Structure System Comparatively strong Dimensionally stable Load bearing capacity / weigh ratio is high Quality of assembly Minimized man made mistakes. Construction Phases of LGS Framed Buildings Framing components (studs, joists, rafters, trusses) are produced from galvanized steel in the factory. Frames are installed by screwing in the construction site and panels are constructed. The panels are erected covered with various finishing materials. Why use galvanized steel?
