[WHITEPAPER] An Introduction to Light Gauge Steel Framing: For Architects
Whether you’re working on a single home or multi-residential construction project, your choice of materials has a big impact on the final result. From the scope of the design, to on site installation and longevity, the right material plays a big part. It can also be the difference between your project exceeding expectations, meeting the required codes and standing the test of time – or unfortunately failing to do so.
Light gauge steel framing (also known as blue steel framing) is rapidly gaining momentum as the material of choice for a growing number of architects and designers alike. Working with light gauge steel (LGS) framing for structural walls, floor joists and roof trusses offers a host of non-combustible benefits during both the design and construction phase.
Maybe you’ve heard about LGS framing but haven’t explored it further? Or perhaps you have some understanding of the benefits but are not sure whether it’s worth making the change from traditional timber alternatives? Either way, if you’re an architect looking for new ways to drive innovation and efficiency with non-combustible materials, download the Whitepaper to discover how LGS framing can give your projects the edge.
