Light Steel Frame Houses

Light steel frame houses is a type of building enclosing the walls and ceilings with lightweight steel beams. This type of construction is often used for residential homes, low-rise apartment buildings, or other structures. The distinctive characteristic is that the exterior walls are made from structural steel and to an extent may contain a concrete core. Also known as LSFHs, these buildings were pioneered in America in the late 19th century and have become popular ever since.

Light steel frame houses is a type of building enclosing the walls and ceilings with lightweight steel beams. This type of construction is often used for residential homes, low-rise apartment buildings, or other structures. The distinctive characteristic is that the exterior walls are made from structural steel and to an extent may contain a concrete core. Also known as LSFHs, these buildings were pioneered in America in the late 19th century and have become popular ever since.


Benefits of light steel frame houses:


1. Attractive and cheaper

This type of building has the appearance of an ordinary solid brick house and may contain a concrete or masonry core, but the steel frame only adds to the charm. Coupled with the low-cost of construction, this makes it possible for more people to afford luxury houses. Indeed, there are many cutting-edge central business districts built using light steel frame houses as its structural components.


2. Increased durability

The interior construction is usually concrete, while the wooden walls are covered with corrugated tin sheets (or glass), making it very durable and sturdy in spite of its lightweight structure. The safety of the residents is therefore guaranteed.


3. Easy to construct

Most light steel frame houses can be constructed in a much shorter time than solid brick buildings and are easier to repair and maintain. A big advantage of this type of building is that it can be put up in different locations with minimum foundation preparation or treatment, which means that it will not cause much disturbance to the natural environment or nearby businesses and residences.


4. High wind resistance

The structure is designed so that any horizontal or vertical forces exerted on them will be equally met with a counteracting force in order to keep the building standing upright. Smaller houses can resist even the strongest winds, which is in stark contrast to wooden houses, which tend to sway back and forth when strong winds buffet them.


5. Versatility

Light steel frame buildings are easy to customize and are suitable for any type of usage. As it is lightweight, they can be moved easily and fast; they will not cause much damage during movement or renovation; and their use is completely flexible as they can be used for commercial purposes without jeopardizing the safety of the employees. Moreover, these buildings can be adjusted perfectly according to the needs. For example, they can be made taller or shorter with a little extra effort.


6. Excellent insulation properties

Due to the structural design of LSFHs, they are very well-insulated and will keep heat inside during the winter and cool in summer. This is a major selling point for these houses as people can use them all year round even in hot countries like China. Furthermore, most LSFHs are designed like a rectangular prism (with a concrete or masonry core) so that the thick walls would reflect sound waves and panels (if there are any) would keep the noise contained within it to minimal levels.


7. Reinforced concrete walls

Light steel frame buildings are constructed using steel doors and windows, which makes for a very sturdy structure. The exterior walls are usually made from reinforced concrete or lightweight bricks, which not only improves their appearance but also minimizes the risk of damage in case of fire. The internal layout is generally simple and uncluttered to promote greater accessibility; there are no unnecessary interconnecting corridors that would cause heat loss; and the interior design is minimal so that natural light can enter through any openings to keep the rooms well-ventilated.

FAQ

Q 1: What should be prepare for the site before start to built?

At the very least, you need concrete piers for the columns to sit upon. Most people pour a full foundation, but if you are using the building on a farm or ranch and plan to have dirt, gravel, or sawdust floors, a pier system may be preferable. In these situations, a popular option is to combine piers with concrete footing around the perimeter of steel building.

Q2. Do you have a recommended foundation and associated drawing?

Yes, we will provide foundation drawing and installation drawing for you after shipment. But the foundation drawing is just for reference because land and soil are diverse in different area.

Q3. Can add a brick wall to my steel building?

Yes, you can. For combined durability and beauty there is nothing like adding brick finishes to  walls of your steel building. You receive the benefits of a hard wall, such as fire resistance, along with moisture resistance of a cavity wall.

Q4. Why does wind speed affect prices?

For most of the steel structure buildings, we design wind speed is about 110km/h. But for some strong wind countries,110km/h is not enough, like the Philippines and Mauritius 150~280km/h wind speed need to enlarge the beam and column, that will use more steel on it  then increase the price a lot.
