Top Advantages of Steel Frame Construction

In general, light gauge steel construction is comparable to wood framed construction. The difference is that steel construction includes thin steel sections in place of wooden framing members. These steel sections are formed at room temperature and are called cold formed sections. It is made from structural-quality sheet steel that’s formed either generally by roll-forming the steel through a series of dies. Moreover, light gauge metal  structures have many of the advantages which make it the best choice for construction.   ·   Steel studs and joists are light, strong and allow quicker construction without the use of heavy tools or equipment. All required components of construction can easily be carried and suitable for both residential and commercial construction. Since steel is easy to carry and strong, it gives structures incredible strength. ·   It can be shaped into any form and coated with a wide range of materials. Therefore, it is very easy to modify th...

Framing is one of the most important parts of every house construction. This phase of the construction process gives shape to a house. When it comes to residential construction, a lot of houses are being built with the wood framing these days. But, there are many benefits of steel frame construction , and it should be used for both residential and commercial projects.   Lesser construction time Most parts and fittings which are used for erection and steel fabrication are pre-fabricated. It reduces the extra effort and helps to build a house within a short time. Cost-effective   Unquestionably, timber is an inexpensive building material than steel. However, its price often fluctuates and increases the budget. On the other hand, pre-engineered steel parts are lighter and can be assembled easily. This makes steel more cost-effective and considering all the benefits, steel framing is better for house construction.   Fire resistant and sustainabl...
