Light Gauge Steel Roof Framing

Light gauge steel construction.

Light gauge steel roof framing. To 12 ga steel framing installed over the existing roof s framing members to create a sloped plane. With today s demanding architectural designs intricate roof lines and aggressive schedules light gauge steel trusses have become a popular product for architects engineers builders and developers. Login sales lgsf co uk 01944 710279. This process enables steel manufacturers to produce light weight but high tensile steel sheets.

The sheet surface is coated with a zinc alloy that completely covers the steel surface and seals it from the corrosive action of its environment. Is manufactured from light gauge steel meetings the requirements of astm a653 02a or equal. Light gauge steel framing lgsf lgsf offers a high quality comprehensive range of light gauge galvanised steel sections for framing cladding supports and other applications where structural strength is required as well as light weight design. Light gauge steel construction is very similar to wood framed construction in principle the wooden framing members are replaced with thin steel sections.

The steel sections used here are called cold formed sections meaning that the sections are formed or given shape at room temperature. Clarkdietrich cold formed steel c studs c series cold formed light gauge c shaped framing members for axial loadbearing walls curtain walls tall interior partitions floor joists and roof truss assemblies. No longer just a division between space. We recommend the installation of light gauge roofing over a continuous rigid substrate such as plywood osb or over intermittent supports.

Light gauge steel framing before the sheeting has been installed. 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. In addition to angles steeler offers hemming on most 25 gauge products such as sound resilient. Typical uses for hemmed angle include bridging bracing blocking and other situations that would require light gauge angles.

No longer just studs tracks and headers. Asc s light gauge roofing can be used in both new construction and retrofit roofing applications. The equivalent material for steel framers would be 362s162 33 3 5 8 x 1 5 8 inch 20 gauge and 550s162 33 5 1 2 x 1 5 8 inch 20 gauge. The existing roof s physical footprint framing system and other rooftop conditions will most likely control the new roof s geometry.
