Light Gauge Steel Frame is a construction technology that uses cold-formed steel as the primary construction material. It can be used for roof systems, floor systems, wall systems, roof panels, decks as well as the entire building. Cold-formed steel (CFS) is fast becoming the material of choice for low to mid-rise construction in India due to its inherent advantages such as high strength to weight ratio, lightweight, easy to handle, cost effective, vermin resistant, dimensionally constant and can be fabricated with ease to a wide range of profiles and sizes with nearly no material wastage not to mention its sustainable nature whose material properties do not change with time.
Advantages of light gauge steel frame structure
High speed construction:
Construction time is nearly 3-times faster as compared to conventional techniques.
Low construction waste:
LGSF generates low construction waste and provides environmental benefits, including lesser CO2 emissions, lesser freshwater utilization and higher recyclability of steel components.
High tolerance:
LFSG structures are extremely robust and resistant to seismic disturbances as compared to traditional RCC structures.
Construction in difficult and harsh terrains:
Is possible using LGSF.
Design Flexibility:
Because of its strength, steel can span longer lengths, offering larger open spaces and increased design flexibility without requiring intermediate columns or load bearing walls.
High quality:
The steel frames are made from high-quality industrial-grade steel with consistent straightness. This simplifies the structural alignment. Also, since these structures have homogenous quality, they don’t warp or split. Nest-In derives its quality from Tata Steel which is the leader in the steel industry.
