LSF Floor Structures

Roll-formed and Assembled at our Factory.

Light Steel Frame Floor Structures

Supply of Under-Floor Girder, Trusses, Beams and Full Floor Design and Loading.

High strength-to-weight ratio

Compared to wood or concrete, light gauge steel delivers exceptional strength while remaining significantly lighter in weight. This translates to reduced transportation costs and easier handling during construction.

Enhanced durability

LSF is highly resistant to fire, moisture, and termites, ensuring long-lasting performance and minimal maintenance needs.

Reduced waste

LSF generates significantly less waste than traditional framing materials, minimising environmental impact and contributing to a more sustainable construction process.

Cost effectiveness

While initial material costs for LSF may be slightly higher than some traditional materials, the overall cost-savings achieved through faster installation, reduced labour requirements and elimination of scaffolding, concrete cure times and bulk material handling.

Faster installation

Light Steel Frame components are prefabricated and pre-cut to exact specifications, leading to faster and more efficient installation compared to traditional methods.

Versatility

LSF floor joists can be designed and engineered  to span distances and support specific loads, making them suitable for a variety of applications, from single-family homes to multi-story buildings or mezzanine floors.

Benefits of LSF Floors

Enhanced thermal insulation

LSF floors can be easily integrated with insulation materials, leading to improved energy efficiency and lower heating and cooling costs.

Greater design flexibility

LSF’s lightweight is perfect for accommodating open floor plans and unique architectural features. Girder beams allow for easy access and installation of services in the floor void. 

Improved pest resistance

Steel’s natural resistance to insects and rodents ensures a pest-free roof environment, eliminating the need for harmful chemical treatments.

Reduced dead weight

The lighter weight of LSF floors reduces the overall dead weight of the building, resulting in a more structurally efficient and seismically resistant design.

LSF Floors

Sustainability

LSF contributes significantly to sustainable construction practices through its:

  • Recyclability: Steel is 100% recyclable, minimising its environmental impact and promoting a circular economy.
  • Reduced construction waste: Prefabrication roll forming and elimination of offcuts significantly reduce waste generation compared to traditional methods.

Building a Stronger Future

With its exceptional strength, durability, and sustainability, LSF is the future of roof construction. By choosing LSF roof trusses, you’re not only building a stronger, more resilient structure but also contributing to a more sustainable future.
