Beyond RCC: Why Light Gauge Steel Frames Are Gaining Popularity in India

India's construction industry evolves rapidly to meet urban demands. Traditional Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) served well for decades, but  Light Gauge Steel Frames (LGSF)  now capture attention for commercial projects. At EPACK Prefab, we witness this shift daily through client preferences and project successes. LGSF offers compelling advantages over RCC for warehouses, factories, and multi-storey offices. Businesses discover faster timelines, lower costs, and superior performance in diverse applications. What Exactly Are Light Gauge Steel Frames? LGSF uses thin, high-strength steel sections (0.55-2.0mm thick) roll-formed into studs, joists, and trusses. Factory production creates precise components that assemble on-site without welding. These frames support cladding, flooring, and roofing systems. Unlike RCC's wet construction, LGSF delivers dry, rapid assembly perfect for industrial timelines. Speed That Transforms Project Delivery LGSF construction proceeds 4-5 times f...

From Concrete to Smart Steel: How LGSF Is Changing the Way India Builds

  India is growing at a staggering pace. With cities expanding, new townships coming up, and demand for faster housing solutions increasing every year, the construction industry is under pressure to deliver buildings that are stronger, quicker to build, and more cost-efficient . This is where Light Gauge Steel Framing (LGSF) has started changing the game. Although it has been widely used in many countries, LGSF is now gaining serious attention in India — and for good reason. What Exactly Is LGSF? A Smarter Way to Build LGSF (Light Gauge Steel Framing) is a construction method that uses thin, galvanized steel sections that are cold-formed into precise shapes like C-sections or U-sections. These metal frames become the backbone of the building — forming the walls, floors, and roof structure. In simple terms, think of LGSF as a much stronger, more modern version of wooden framing, but with: Greater accuracy Lower weight Higher strength No issues like termites, mold, or s...
