Lightweight Steel Framing
Lightweight Steel Framing (LSF) is a widely recognized construction system known for its use of cold-formed galvanized steel profiles. These profiles, which have thicknesses ranging from 0.45 mm to 3 mm, serve as the structural elements of the system. To prevent rust and corrosion, the steel sheets are coated with a zinc alloy layer, typically between 40 and 120 microns thick. The LSF system is mainly used in load-bearing wall constructions. The production of LSF structural components is guided by Cut List production tables provided by technical and engineering units or customers. The production process involves cold rolling machinery equipped with PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) systems.
