0.6-1.2mm Thickness Cold Formed Steel Light Gauge Steel Framing (LGSF) Roll Forming Machine For House Construction

Main Specifications

Profile

Light gauge steel framing is a construction method that cold formed steel sections to create a structural framework for buildings, which at its simplest is an assembly of columns and beams.

Cold formed steel sections include steel studs, tracks and joists that are assembled together to form the load bearing skeletal structure. However It can also be used to create interior partitions and non-load bearing walls, or curtain walls.

Key features of Light Gauge Steel Framing include:

Cold-Formed Steel Sections: The steel used in light gauge steel framing is typically in the form of coils or strips, often galvanized for corrosion resistance. These steel sections are then cold-formed into various shapes, such as studs, tracks, channels, and joists, through a series of rolling and shaping processes.

Lightweight and High Strength: Light gauge steel members are thinner and lighter compared to traditional hot-rolled steel sections. Despite their lightweight nature, they offer high strength and structural integrity, making them suitable for various construction applications.

Versatility in Design: Light gauge steel framing allows for flexible and innovative design options. The material's strength-to-weight ratio enables the creation of open and spacious interiors without the need for excessive support columns.

Precision and Consistency: The cold-forming process ensures precise dimensions and consistent quality of the steel sections. This precision contributes to accurate assembly and construction.

Rapid Construction: Light gauge steel framing is known for its speed of construction. Components are typically pre-engineered and can be manufactured off-site, leading to faster assembly and reduced construction timelines.

Fire Resistance: Steel is inherently fire-resistant, and light gauge steel framing can contribute to the fire safety of a building. Additionally, gypsum-based board materials are often used with LGSF to enhance fire resistance.

Resistance to Pests and Rot: Unlike wood framing, light gauge steel is not susceptible to pests, such as termites, and does not rot. This feature contributes to the durability and longevity of structures built with light gauge steel framing.

Light Gauge Steel Framing (LGSF) is a construction method that involves the use of thin, lightweight steel sections or cold-formed steel members to create a structural framework for buildings. Unlike traditional wood framing, light gauge steel framing relies on steel sections that are formed at room temperature (cold-formed) through a roll-forming process.

LGS framing is commonly used for commercial and multifamily residential buildings, and it is seeing a rise in single family residential applications as well.
