Light Gauge Steel Roof Framing

Light gauge steel framing lgsf lgsf offers a high quality comprehensive range of light gauge galvanised steel sections for framing cladding supports and other applications where structural strength is required as well as light weight design.

Light gauge steel roof framing.

Light gauge steel construction is very similar to wood framed construction in principle the wooden framing members are replaced with thin steel sections. The sheet surface is coated with a zinc alloy that completely covers the steel surface and seals it from the corrosive action of its environment. The steel sections used here are called cold formed sections meaning that the sections are formed or given shape at room temperature. The existing roof s physical footprint framing system and other rooftop conditions will most likely control the new roof s geometry.

To 12 ga steel framing installed over the existing roof s framing members to create a sloped plane. No longer just a division between space. Typical uses for hemmed angle include bridging bracing blocking and other situations that would require light gauge angles. Light gauge steel construction.

Is manufactured from light gauge steel meetings the requirements of astm a653 02a or equal. Asc s light gauge roofing can be used in both new construction and retrofit roofing applications. Contact asc for additional information. Clarkdietrich cold formed steel c studs c series cold formed light gauge c shaped framing members for axial loadbearing walls curtain walls tall interior partitions floor joists and roof truss assemblies.

In addition to angles steeler offers hemming on most 25 gauge products such as sound resilient. We see what the future for walls holds and we are acting on it with steel framing products that perform as a system backed by intelligent design tools and fully capable engineering services. Can design an engineered pre fabricated light gauge steel truss system specifically for your project incorporating. We recommend the installation of light gauge roofing over a continuous rigid substrate such as plywood osb or over intermittent supports.

This light gauge steel frame is developed through a cold formed process without the use of heat. The equivalent material for steel framers would be 362s162 33 3 5 8 x 1 5 8 inch 20 gauge and 550s162 33 5 1 2 x 1 5 8 inch 20 gauge. This process enables steel manufacturers to produce light weight but high tensile steel sheets. You can tell by looking that they re wall studs but different gauge metals are sometimes specified for different parts of the frame.

Light gauge steel framing before the sheeting has been installed. The mbci nuroof retrofit roof system utilizes light gauge 16 ga.
