As a Light Steel Frame Scenic House Suppliers, share with you.

One of the main advantages of the light steel frame is its versatility and the range of building types that can be used.

The application of light steel frames ranges from low-rise houses to multi-story, multi-purpose development, including paneled structural frames, external infill wall systems and fully completed off-site modular buildings.

In addition to a wide range of applications, there are also the benefits of modern construction methods: fast construction, high quality and performance, safety and cost-effectiveness. The main areas of light steel frames are residential buildings and mixed-use buildings with four to eight floors, usually including commercial spaces and lower-level parking lots. In these cases, the lightweight nature of the building system is essential to minimize the load on the supporting structure.

Construction form

The light steel frame includes galvanized cold-formed C-sections with a depth of 70mm to 100mm in the wall panel, and C-sections or lattice joists with a depth of 150mm to 300mm in the floor. It can reach a span of 6m, which can eliminate the internal load-bearing wall, so the internal space planning can be flexibly carried out.

Prefabricated wall panels are usually floor-high (i.e. 2.7m to 3.2m) and can be up to 8m long, depending on transportation and hoisting.

A house can be built with a minimum of 12 wall panels, and each truck can deliver up to 4 houses or large apartments. The floor can be installed in the form of a prefabricated floor box or a separate joist. In some areas, you can choose to use composite floor slabs supported by light steel walls. In this case, the floor slab usually uses a special-shaped steel floor with cast-in-place concrete to a depth of 150mm to 180mm, and the maximum span is 5.5m when temporarily supported during construction. Not only is its own weight half that of a concrete slab, but it is also lighter and can be laid with air ducts hanging from the floor.

City Development

The benefits of off-site manufacturing of special light steel frame, and come to the fore in urban residential projects, often involving a mixture of row houses and larger apartment buildings. A packaged construction system in which all structural components are designed, delivered and installed by a single supplier. The supplier prepares an integrated BIM model that is linked to the architect's model and can be used and added by the main contractor and the customer. Minimize delivery and storage space in crowded urban areas. This is achieved by "delivering in time" to the site. The panel is color coded or marked for easy identification. Minimize the load on the foundation and any supporting structure, as well as the load during construction on the tunnel or brownfield site or roof extension area. A multifunctional building system that can be efficiently used in housing and residential buildings up to 10 floors.

Good sustainability rating based on a series of environmental standards. The light steel frame can be designed with a low U value and scored as A+ or A under the BRE Green Guide. All steel components can be recycled and can be easily expanded in the future.

Mixed use development

Mixed-use developments usually include lower-level commercial or retail spaces and higher-level residential units. A good example is the construction of a three- or four-story house on a retail space. For planning reasons or to maximize land use benefits, a mixed nature of the project may be required.

1. What is a container house?

Container house, also known as containerized house, flat packing house, or modular house, is a new type of construction; its development history is short, the last decade or so before widely into our vision.

This type of housing usually has two kinds of production and processing technology: one is directly transformed from shipping containers; the other is in the production factory through the structural design by the dimensions of the container, which do an excellent job of the top and bottom, through the top and bottom of the columns with high-quality load-bearing capacity will be connected to form a framework, and then by the color steel sandwich panels to do the combination of the wall and become.

Early container housing construction technology is rudimentary; generally, first, it is difficult to pass the national certification building code. At the same time, this type of building can only belong to the temporary building, short term, more than the period need to be dismantled or relocated, so most of the projects can only be limited to the function of the site accommodation, office or exhibition hall use.

However, with time, container house construction technology began to mature. Container houses are also widely used because of their advantages of easy erection, cheap cost, and increasingly comfortable internal environment, and the volume of market applications and application places is rising. Now, our most common is generally the second.

2. What are the application places of container houses?

  • Temporary accommodation, such as in construction sites, open-air music festivals, camping, and other activities to provide accommodation;
  • Site offices, providing temporary office space for construction teams and project management staff;
  • Commercial display and sales spaces, e.g., temporary stores, exhibition halls, cafes, etc;
  • Education and training spaces, e.g., temporary schools, training centers, libraries, etc;
  • Food and beverage venues, e.g., temporary restaurants, coffee shops, fast food outlets, etc;
  • Hotels and B&Bs;
  • Accommodation facilities in resorts and campgrounds;
  • Temporary medical facilities, e.g., medical stations, first aid centers, etc;
  • Agricultural and farming facilities, e.g., temporary farms, greenhouses, breeding farms, etc.

3. What are the advantages and disadvantages of container housing

The advantages of container housing mainly include:

  • Rapid construction: using standardized design and production methods to simplify construction and quickly meet housing needs.
  • Low carbon and environmental protection: low carbon housing factory pre-set, site construction "0" pollution. At the same time, the container housing can be reused through secondary decoration or disassembled combination, extending the service life and avoiding the waste of resources.
  • High flexibility: Container houses can be combined and remodeled according to the demand, like Lego, adapting to different construction scenes.
  • High strength: designed with a steel structure, it has high strength and durability, which can withstand harsh weather conditions and natural disasters, making it maintain a long service life in different environments.
  • High mobility: it can be easily moved from one place to another, making it ideal for temporary housing, mobile offices, or areas that require frequent relocation.
  • Creative space: the design is flexible and can be customized according to individual needs to meet different aesthetic and functional requirements.

Of course, there are some disadvantages of containerized housing:

  • Thermal insulation and heat preservation problems: due to differences in the materials used in the products, low-end products (less than $1,000) of thermal insulation performance can not be guaranteed; if you want to get a better thermal insulation effect, you need to choose a quality-assured manufacturers product prices are usually about three times the price of low-end products.
  • Sound insulation problems: sound insulation performance may be poor because the sound transmission effect of metal materials is relatively good. This may require additional soundproofing to minimize noise interference.
