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...

The Advantages of Light Gauge Steel Framing (LGSF) in Modern Construction

As the construction industry continues to evolve, Light Gauge Steel Framing (LGSF) has emerged as a popular and effective building method, offering several advantages over traditional materials. From residential homes to industrial sheds and commercial buildings , LGSF provides unparalleled strength , speed , and cost-effectiveness . In this post, we will explore the numerous benefits of LGSF and how it is transforming the construction landscape. What is Light Gauge Steel Framing (LGSF)? Light Gauge Steel Framing (LGSF) refers to the use of thin sheets of steel that are cold-formed into structural elements such as studs , tracks , and channels . These elements are then used to create the frame for buildings. LGSF is a modern, efficient construction technique used for both residential and commercial buildings . It is known for its lightweight nature , high strength , and design flexibility . LGSF offers a sustainable and eco-friendly solution, providing structural integrity ...
