Light Gauge Steel (LGS) is a construction material made from thin, cold-formed steel that is both strong and lightweight. It is commonly used for framing in modern building systems, offering excellent durability, resistance to moisture, fire, and pests, and the ability to withstand heavy loads.
Steel does not combust. A framework of steel allows lightning charges to safely dissipate into the ground, minimizing the danger of fire and personal injury.
Light gauge steel provides long-term stability by significantly reducing the likelihood of claims resulting from structural failures, pest damage, and other common risks.
Steel has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of all structural framing materials and is 7 times stronger than wood. Steel's strength and flexibility make it highly resistant to damage during seismic activity, reducing the risk of structural failure Light Gauge Steel (LGS) is precision-engineered, ensuring high accuracy in fabrication and assembly for a consistently reliable and straight structure.
Steel endures impact without sustaining damage and absorbs lateral torsion making it the best base for a home structure.
Steel is impervious to rot, mold, mildew, and damage caused by insects, termites, and vermin.
