Light Steel Frame members can also serve as both primary structures and secondary structures. An example of the Light Steel Framing used as primary 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. LGSF buildings look similar to traditional RCC buildings after completion

ADVANTAGES OF LGSF

• Superior Construction Material: The steel sheets that form the light gauge steel frames is the construction material that is neither vulnerable to any sort of fungi or organism nor is combustible. This makes it a secure, safe and perfect choice for construction material. Steel is inorganic and so will not rot, warp, crack, or creep and is dimensionally stable, therefore not expanding or contracting with moisture content.
• Cutting edge technology: It is the future; LGSF is green, environmentally friendly and has energy efficient properties that allow very little waste (negligible) as all the steel is cut to fit exactly.
• Less pressure on foundations: The steel used is lighter than wood but has more strength which puts less pressure on the foundation making it the ideal choice for mansards or extensions, etc. or that penthouse on a flat roof.
• Speed of Construction: The construction time can be cut down drastically as everything can be prepared at an off-site location just like Lego blocks and even pre-drilled for services.
• Quality: Steel frames have consistent straightness and hence simplifies structural alignment. These structures are uniform in quality an thus do not warp or split
• Lower construction costs: Light steel frames are very strong and lightweight, so building frames require less material (compared to timber or concrete). Hence results in lesser construction costs
• Easy transportation & handling: Steel frame components are light & designed for easy to transportation and handling.
