Light Gauge Framing System (LGFS) or Light gauge Steel framing (LGSF) is a construction technology using cold-formed steel as the construction material. It can be used for roof systems, floor systems, wall systems,roof panels, decks, or the entire buildings. They can also be used as individual framing members such as studs, joists, headers, and truss members. Light Steel Frame members can also serve as both primary structures and secondary structures. An example of the Light Steel Framing used as primar structures is the webbed steel trusses. Steel studs act as secondary structures by providing lateral support to exterior wall finish since they rely on the primary structure for support. Light Gauge Framing System (LGFS) buildings can be used as substitute of RCC/traditional buildings. It is used to create frames for external walls, floor, internal walls etc. These are used as the base on which suitable boards and materials are used to cover the framing. LGS buildings look similar to traditional RCC buildings after completion.

ADVANTAGES OF Light Gauge Framing System (LGFS)

1. High-strength ZINCALUME® Steel offers durability, corrosion resistance, and low maintenance for safer structures.
2. Lightweight 550 MPa steel reduces foundation weight and lowers earthquake damage risks.
3. Steel frames ensure straightness, uniform quality, and resist warping or splitting
4. LGFS is 100% recyclable and eco-friendly.
5. Perfect for expansions, additional floors, and flexible relocation.
6. Steel framing offers unmatched design flexibility, allowing longer spans and versatile placement of interior walls.
