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...

What Makes Continuous Sandwich Panel Lines the Future of Prefab Construction?

As the demand for faster, sustainable, and energy-efficient construction rises in India, particularly in sectors like warehousing, cold storage, clean rooms, and industrial manufacturing , the technology behind how building components are made is gaining new attention. One innovation that’s transforming the insulated panel industry is the Continuous Sandwich Panel Production Line — a system designed for high-speed, high-quality manufacturing of insulated wall and roof panels. At EPACK Prefab , we’ve taken a bold step toward this future with the launch of our state-of-the-art Continuous Sandwich Panel Manufacturing Facility in South India . 🔄 Continuous vs Discontinuous Panel Lines: What’s the Difference? Traditional discontinuous (batch-based) panel lines produce panels in limited quantities and require more manual effort. While suitable for smaller jobs, they often result in: Slower production cycles Inconsistencies in insulation Higher material wastage In contrast...

Sandwich Panel Types and Applications in Prefabricated Constructions

In the world of prefabricated construction, sandwich panels have become a cornerstone material due to their versatility, strength, and efficiency. These panels consist of two layers of durable material with an insulating core in between, offering excellent thermal insulation, durability, and lightweight properties. They are widely used in a variety of construction projects, from industrial factories to commercial buildings.  Let’s take a closer look at the different types of sandwich panels and their applications in prefabricated constructions. 1. Types of Sandwich Panels a. Polyurethane (PU) Sandwich Panels One of the most commonly used types of sandwich panels PUF panels feature a polyurethane core. Known for their excellent thermal insulation, they are widely used in cold storage, warehouses, and refrigerated spaces. PUF panels are lightweight, resistant to moisture, and provide long-term durability, making them a top choice for prefabricated cold rooms and other climate-contr...
