The properties of light steel make it an ideal solution for the construction of industrial buildings: It is solid, incombustible, easy to handle, stable and light.
With very basic tools, light steel structures can be installed by certified carpenters more easily and so quickly that they make it possible to save a significant amount of time, which results in substantial savings in dollars and cents.
The Building Code requires the use of fire-resistant materials for the construction of buildings over 3 storeys high. Light steel meets a number of demands: It is a highly resistant, sustainable material that allows for an impressive load-bearing capacity and that doesn’t subside over the years under the weight of the storeys that it is supporting. Moreover, it won’t warp, rot or twist.
Light steel structures are recyclable and even ecological, as they don’t require cutting down any trees. And they considerably minimize debris at the job site, while facilitating wiring and ductwork installation operations.
