Introduction to Cold-formed Steel

Cold-formed steel (CFS) (also known as light gauge steel frame or LGSF) is a type of steel that is shaped at room temperature through a process called cold rolling. This process involves passing thin sheets of steel through a series of rollers, which bend and form the steel into the desired shape without the application of heat. This differs from hot-rolled steel, which is shaped while the steel is still hot

Future-Proof Steel Frame Homes

We are committed to delivering homes that are not only beautiful but also durable and energy-efficient. That’s why we use advanced cold-formed steel in our construction process. Cold-formed steel is lighter, stronger, and more sustainable than traditional materials, offering exceptional resistance to weather, pests and fire. With its precision-engineered framework, your home will have enhanced structural integrity, ensuring it stands the test of time.

Benefits of Cold Formed Steel (CFS) vs Traditional Wood

Image

The key benefits of using cold-formed steel (CFS) instead of wood for construction are

  • Durability and resilience: CFS is non-combustible, resistant to moisture, warping, swelling, termites and other pests, making it a more durable, long-lasting material.
  • Fire Resistance: Steel is non-combustible and offers superior fire resistance compared to wood, which can contribute to increased safety and lower insurance premiums.
  • Faster construction: CFS framing can be pre-fabricated off-site and assembled quickly, reducing construction time and labour costs.
  • Sustainability: CFS contains recycled content, is 100% recyclable and emits no volatile organic compounds, making it an environmentally-friendly choice.
  • Structural advantages: CFS has a higher strength-to-weight ratio, allowing for larger clear spans and more open designs compared to wood with less material.
  • Consistent quality: As a manufactured product, CFS offers more consistent quality and less waste compared to the variability of natural wood with manufacturing precision.
  • Suitability for different environments: CFS's strength and ductility make it suitable for construction in regions with high winds or earthquakes.

Cold-formed steel (CFS) is more environmentally friendly compared to wood for construction. The key reasons are

  • Cold-Formed Steel is highly recyclable and contains a high percentage of recycled content. It can be recycled and reused indefinitely, unlike wood which can only be used once.
  • Preservation of Natural Resources: Using steel reduces the demand for timber, helping to conserve forests.
  • Steel framing produces less waste during construction compared to wood framing, which often results in excess scrap wood.
  • Steel is non-combustible and more durable than wood, reducing the need for replacement and repairs over the building's lifetime.
  • Steel-framed buildings are more energy-efficient due to better insulation properties, leading to lower energy costs and emissions for occupants.
  • The steel industry has also made significant improvements in reducing its environmental impact, with a 33% reduction in energy use per ton of steel produced.
  • Overall, the sustainability, recyclability and energy efficiency of cold-formed steel make it a more environmentally friendly construction material compared to traditional wood framing.

Light Gauge Steel Framing (LGSF) is generally considered safer than wood framing during earthquakes for several reasons

  • Flexibility and Strength: Steel has a higher strength-to-weight ratio compared to wood. LGSF systems can absorb and dissipate seismic energy better, reducing the likelihood of structural failure.
  • Ductility: Steel is more ductile than wood, meaning it can bend without breaking. This characteristic allows steel frames to endure greater deformation during seismic activity without collapsing.
  • Consistent Quality: Steel is manufactured under controlled conditions, ensuring consistent quality and strength. Wood, on the other hand, can vary in quality, with potential weaknesses such as knots or splits.
  • Resistant to Environmental Factors: Steel is not susceptible to rot, termites or other environmental factors that can weaken wood structures over time, potentially making them more vulnerable during an earthquake.
  • Weight: LGSF structures are lighter than wood-framed structures. The reduced mass can lead to lower seismic forces acting on the building, which can enhance safety during an earthquake.

Advantages of LGSF

Cold-formed steel (CFS) frame structures generally offer better resistance to hurricane-level winds compared to traditional wooden stick-built homes. Here’s why :

  8. Certified manufacturing

    Certified Fabrication facility for high end manufacturing

  9. Guarantee

    Guarantee of work up to 10 year

  10. Strength and Durability

    Cold-formed steel is stronger than wood, handling higher stress loads and resisting wind forces

  11. Wind Resistance

    Steel-framed buildings provide better resistance to uplift forces and lateral wind pressure

  12. Non-Combustible and Moisture-Resistant

    Unlike wood, steel doesn’t rot, warp, or degrade when exposed to moisture, which is common during hurricanes. It’s also non-combustible, so it reduces the risk of fire in storm-prone areas.

  13. Design Flexibility

    Steel frames can be engineered more precisely to meet stringent building codes for hurricane zones. This includes specific requirements for wind resistance and impact protection.

In contrast, traditional wood-framed homes can be reinforced to withstand hurricanes, but they generally need additional bracing, sheathing, and anchoring systems to approach the level of wind resistance provided by steel framing.

Corrosion Resistance

CFS is often coated with zinc or other protective layers to improve its resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for various environments.

05

Versatility

CFS can be formed into a wide variety of shapes and sizes, including studs, joists and trusses, making it a versatile material for construction.

06

Building Framing

CFS is widely used in the framing of residential, commercial and industrial buildings, especially in wall studs, floor joists and roof trusses.

07

Infrastructure

It is also used in infrastructure projects, such as bridges and tunnels, due to its strength and durability.
