Light Gauge Steel Framing Market - Introduction
- Light-gauge steel framing systems consist of structural frames fabricated using cold formed steel sections. These are made from a mixture of zinc and aluminum or coated with zinc to protect it from corrosion.
- Light gauge steel frames can be used throughout a structure, including load-bearing exterior walls, non-load bearing interior walls, floor joists, curtain walls, and roof trusses.
- In modern techniques of construction, users tend to opt for light gauge steel frames owing to its lightweight and recyclable property. In addition, it is found to be cost effective and minimal time consuming in the formation of civil structures as compared to traditional clay, stone, or brick.
- The light steel frame structure system is usually used in residential and industrial construction such as office buildings, steel structure workshops, warehouses, and stadiums. Rapid growth in the construction sector across the globe is likely to boost the growth of the global light gauge steel framing market.
Rising Dependency on Light Gauge Steel Framing
- Light gauge steel framing structures are gaining popularity in a wide range of construction activity across the globe. It has a long self-seismic period, and the effect of the seismic load is small, which is beneficial in resisting earthquakes. Implementation of stringent government laws and regulations regarding the usage of advanced civil engineering techniques in the construction sector has encouraged the growth of the light gauge steel framing market. These frames are made from 60% recycled steel which is used in a variety of roofing, modular structure design, and infill walling applications; it is found to be attractive among users as it is pollution-free and a source of raw material for green building technology. This is expected to lead to growth of the light gauge steel framing market across the globe in the future.
Rapid Growth in Construction Sector
- Light gauge steel framing is widely used in building infrastructure, shopping malls, schools, hospitals, and offices. In recent years, with the rising cost of timber and wood, demand for light gauge steel framing has grown at a rapid pace in various industrial, public, residential, and commercial building construction owing to its high durability and cost effectiveness. Increasing investment by governments and the private sector in construction activity is expected to drive the global light gauge steel framing market. Several multinational players and government bodies are investing huge amounts in construction. This is also influencing the growth of the light gauge steel framing market.
