The steel sections used here are called cold formed sections meaning that the sections are formed or given shape at room temperature. Login sales lgsf co uk 01944 710279. 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. Light gauge steel construction is very similar to wood framed construction in principle the wooden framing members are replaced with thin steel sections.

In addition to angles steeler offers hemming on most 25 gauge products such as sound resilient. This process enables steel manufacturers to produce light weight but high tensile steel sheets. Is manufactured from light gauge steel meetings the requirements of astm a653 02a or equal. Typical uses for hemmed angle include bridging bracing blocking and other situations that would require light gauge angles.

Asc s light gauge roofing can be used in both new construction and retrofit roofing applications.
