Light steel frame construction, often referred to as LSF (light steel frame), is a basic construction where the load-bearing frame of the building is made of thin-walled, cold-formed, galvanized steel sections. These sections are thin, typically about one millimeter, which ensures low weight.
Light gauge steel framing (LSTC) is a modern construction technology that uses thin-walled steel sections for the building frame. This technology is popular all over the world, and in some countries, such as Canada, more than 70% of new housing is built using LSTC technology. LSTC offers a number of advantages, such as speed of construction, low weight, high strength and durability.
Light steel frame structures (LSF) are widely used for commercial buildings due to their strength, durability and speed of construction. They are a load-bearing structure consisting of steel columns and beams connected into a single system
