Resilient Structures: Creating Structure Durability with LGSF
With a rapidly changing environment giving rise to the need for eco-friendly constructions, it has become essential to build structures that are sturdy and durable. In the continuously evolving construction industry, marked by ever-changing requirements, Light Gauge Steel Framing (LGSF) is emerging as a game changer. LGSF resilient structures offer a wide range of benefits that significantly improve the durability of buildings. By leveraging the strength of steel, Light Gauge Steel manufacturers in India create structures that can withstand adverse weather conditions and stand the test of time.
Structural Strength
The exceptional strength and structural integrity of steel frames are one of the primary reasons for the enhanced durability of LGSF. Unlike conventional wood framing, steel structures do not rot, warp, or get affected by pests. LGSF resilient structures are manufactured using advanced tools and machinery that create consistent shapes and robust structures. The high load-bearing capacity of steel frames and higher strength to weight ratio make them resistant to external forces such as wind, earthquakes, or other natural disasters.
Corrosion Resistance
In regions with high humidity and saltwater exposure, corrosion and decay are common concerns. LGSF components undergo anti-corrosion treatment to construct resilient buildings with steel frames. These protective coatings are essential to maintain the longevity of LGSF buildings. The quality of wooden structures used in traditional constructions deteriorates over time due to rotting or termite damage. Anti-corrosion properties of LGSF increase the lifespan of frames, keeping them structurally sound and resilient over the years, even in harsh environments.
Fire Resistance
Components or structures used in LGSF buildings are non-combustible, or they do not even contribute to the spread of fire compared to traditional structures. Fire safety is a crucial aspect in the construction industry, and LGSF resilient buildings are known for their exceptional fire-resistant capabilities. Resilient buildings with LGSF are a preferred choice in areas vulnerable to wildfires or industrial settings with a high risk of fire and ensure a safer living environment in cities. In addition to this, LGSF frames maintain their structural integrity even in elevated temperatures, and ensure the safety of building occupants during fire incidents by providing them valuable time to evacuate.
Design Flexibility
LGSF companies in India like Tata Steel Nest-In manufacture precise and highly customisable designs and structures. This flexibility in buildings with steel frames can be adapted to a wide range of requirements and functions. This adaptability of LGSF to adjust to changing needs makes the buildings resilient against all weather or environmental conditions. Minimal Foundation Work

Several factors like structural integrity of steel as compared to RCC, better corrosion resistance, fire resistance, design flexibility, sustainability, and energy efficiency make LGSF buildings highly durable. Tata Steel Nest-In, a preferred choice in India for LGSF construction, provides solutions like HabiNest which has certified walls by an NABL-approved lab to withstand fire for up to 90 minutes. The robust nature of steel and its resistance to different forms of deterioration makes LGSF the first choice of builders and developers to build resilient structures.
