Major Benefits of Light Gauge Metal 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 this construction at any point in its lifespan. The strength and malleability of steel allow steel-framed houses to endure wind and seismic loads.

· It has a coating for the protection against rusting during the phase of construction and for fire safety and termite protection. Also, light gauge steel structures do not shrink, rot, warp, or decompose and are perfect to use for the construction in the areas where there is a probability of termite attack.

When it comes to performance improvements and reduction in material usage, JamStud from The Steel Network is the best choice for designing and installation. Its unique configuration provides reinforced strength and stiffness, minimize or exclude the use of header sections and built-up jamb in a curtain wall assembly. They are dedicated to produce, communicate, and deliver exceptional products such as light gauge metal in the light steel framing industry to make the construction process better and reliable.
