Light Gauge Steel Frame January 2022

Times are changing in construction with the evolution of newer technology. Rapid construction and the huge demand for energy efficient construction materials are on the rise. One such technology is LGSF, which requires a shorter construction period compared to that for a conventional building system. The use of LGSF technology provides ease of installation along with a reduction in the cumulative project completion period owing to prefabricated steel structures.

Light Gauge Steel Frame (LGSF) is an innovative and reliable construction material in the world that is strong and allows design flexibility enabling it to be the right choice for construction. This method of construction allows having an increased span, custom openings, curved walls and a variety of external architectural façade treatments, making it a versatile choice of construction material.

The use of technology in this method of construction has allowed it to offer benefits to the architect, contractor, society, developer and what not. Given below are a few advantages and applications of LGSF. In this edition of eMag we have focused on

• The adoption of LGSF technology in India
• LGSF - Adaptability, Advantages and Applications
• The advantages of LGSF structure in earthquake-prone areas
• Components of LGSF Structure
• Fire resistance of LGSF Structures
