LGSF refers to Light Gauge steel Framing .This is a construction technology using cold formed steel. Steel is used as construction element .LGSF is used for roof system , floor system , wall system , roof panels , decks and for entire super structure . LGFS (Light Gauge Framing system ) is also used . The inherent strength and durability of steel helps in increased span length ,curved structure ,customized openings and in creating variety of architectural façade structures.
Using LGSF structure for wall Designing and Construction procedure
Framing is done using high performance LGSA steel and mechanically fixed .The structure architecture is done by architects .Insulation materials are filled in the cavity to increase performance before installation.
The next step would be to install gypsum plaster boards on either side of the filled material and bond them to attain rigidity .
The final finishing is obtained by jointing the boards and finishing as per suitable size is attained .To ensure uniformity smooth finish is done .The final stage would involve finishing with primer and final quote of paint .The finished wall is uniform and retains look of normal wall .

Features of LGSF Building
LGSF buildings have the following advantages and features
Low maintenance cost is one major advantage of LGSF buildings. As compared to normal maintenance these structures need regular painting only .Moreover as these structures are pre fabricated at assembly points they economize on construction time and resource utilization .
Excellent finish is obtained in LGSF structures owing to machine fabrication and hence in terms of accuracy and finish standard output is delivered as against human touch . Desired shape as recommended by architect design could be ensured.
LGSF structures help in getting a proper finish as required based on the polishing or painting finish required for the structure .For both external and internal partitions these structures find wide range of application and hence popular in commercial and industrial structures.
