Light Steel Prefab Modular House

Light Steel Prefab Modular House represents incomparable resistance not only to an earthquake, but also moisture, fire, corrosion, storm, termites and similar pests. With a highly effective galvanization process, light gauge steel profiles resist even the most humid regions for many decades.

Light Steel Prefab Modular House is durable and displays the strongest resistance to an earthquake. The strength of steel is unquestionable, 21 times more flexible than timber and 10 times more than reinforced concrete (concrete + steel reinforcing). Ideal in poor ground areas, lightweight with a low ratio of specific weight to carried load.

Light steel frame construction is a rapid construction system. The main carrier system is established in residential type constructions within 2 weeks regardless of weather conditions. Turnkey construction can be as short as 2 months. Reinforced concrete is not required, except for base. Buildings are factory pre-produce for rapid delivery meaning short lead times, minimum time on site, rapid and practical assembly without highly skilled labour or specialist equipment.

Multi storey buildings and complex accommodation can be designed using this flexible, cost effective and reliable construction system.

Light steel framing can be shipped anywhere in the world in standard sized shipping containers or by road. The building is packaged at the factory and loaded into suitable transport for delivery direct to the work site. The building arrives on site with all of the components required for the complete installation. Our team can install the building or the frame can be assembled by local contractors with the help of full installation drawings, which are supplied, under the supervision of our experienced technicians and engineers.

For load-bearing structural system using galvanised light steel keel, it is a kind of great innovation, this architecture has a better seismic, anti-corrosion, insect-resistant, environmental protection and energy efficiency. The ultra-light steel structure prefabricated low-rise industrial buildings, light weight, and the material properties of the metal in the form of shear wall structure must determine the ultra-light steel structure system born seismic performance. Due to earthquake activity for the left and right and up and down, so use fasteners of lightweight steel structure formed a box, security and stability but will not appear because  of the earthquake shaking collapsed wall or floor off the endanger personal safety. Seismic performance of concrete structures to do the same takes the structure of the higher cost of materials, on the contrary it will improve teh overall cost of construction, construction difficulty and the design difficulty will be increased.

Light gauge steel structure owns the advantages of light weight, excellent strength, good rigidity, and great flexibility. It only weights one-fifth of the brick and concrete structure, withstanding wind of 50m/s to 70m/s, so it can provide reliable support to people and their property. 

Light gauge steel structure is made of cold-formed thin-walled steel. the frame is cold-formed galvanised and aluminium-coated steel sheet, which is of great corrosion resistant ability, reducing the possibility of corrosion caused during construction, and increasing the life of steel frame. the life span can be 50 to 70 years.

Light gauge steel structure applies glass wool and rock wool as insulated material to achieve satisfactory heat maintaining and heat resisting performance. The exterior wall panel is heat insulated so it can protect the wall from “frozen” and realise better insulation. The thermal resistance of R15 insulated wool is equal to that of 1m thick brick wall.

It is important for the house to have good sound insulation. So the window we use in our light gauge steel structure is of hollow glass, with the sound insulation of 40 decibels. Meanwhile, the wall that made of light gauge steel structure and insulated plasterboard has sound insulation of 60 decibels.

There is a layer of humidity resistant material on the surface of exterior wall. It is the waterproof and breathable membrane, which is new high molecular material. The surface of this kind of material is of extremely tiny hole structure. As the diameter of water is 0.02mm and that of vapour is 0.0000004mm, so this great difference in diameter enables the moisture to go out but not come in.
