Metal frame houses are a new and very promising trend in low-rise construction. This technology allows you to efficiently and quickly build structures for various purposes: apartment buildings, private residences, office and warehouse buildings, shops, etc. Replacing traditional expensive materials with an inexpensive metal frame makes it possible to significantly reduce the cost of construction, while not reducing high performance facilities.
Application areas
Turnkey steel frame houses from LSTK are being built for various purposes:
- one-story private houses, cottages and buildings up to 3 floors;
- low-rise residential and office space;
- hotels and hostels;
- administrative buildings;
- shopping malls;
- warehouses and hangars;
- Gas stations, car washes, etc.
Metal frame technology is also widely used for the reconstruction of buildings, it makes it possible to erect mansards, add-ons and extensions, and create exploitable roofs.
Main advantages LSTK technology
Construction using LSTK technology (light steel thin-walled structures) has a number of advantages:
- Ease of installation work.
- Fast construction time.
- Relatively low cost.
- Reliability and durability of buildings.
- Sustainable.
Ease of installation work
Prefabricated metal-frame houses using LSTK technology, due to machine-building precision in the manufacture of metal frame parts and their lightness, are mounted like a children's designer. All parts have special mounting holes and crimps at the joints. In addition, each part has a unique marking. The high precision in design is obtained through high software and latest generation production line.
Construction period
Construction of metal frame houses is carried out in a short time:
- designing takes an average of 5-8 days, depending on the complexity of projects and the area of objects;
- erection of walls, panels, ceilings, truss system is completed in about 6-7 days;
- delivery (depending on the distance to the construction site) of metal structures takes no more than 3 days;
- frame assembly work takes 10-14 days, depending on the complexity of the object;
- finishing is done in about 30-45 days.
Lowcost
- Ability to perform construction work in all seasons.
- Metal frame houses made of LSTK do not shrink. Interior finishing work can be carried out immediately after its construction.
- The small specific gravity of the structures (30 kg per 1 sq. m) makes it possible to use LSTC in the reconstruction of buildings, to carry out construction in conditions of fairly close urban development without the involvement of heavy and bulky lifting equipment.
- Low cost of installation of LSTC buildings.
- Savings on foundation. The light weight of steel structures allows for a more economical foundation.
- Effective energy-saving features that can significantly reduce the cost of operating houses and reduce the load on city networks.
Reliability and durability of buildings
- High quality construction. This is achieved through the manufacture of metal frames in the factory on highly automated equipment with software. This allows you to get the accuracy of the strength design indicators and a fairly uniform load on the entire metal structure.
- Metal frame houses are quite durable. They are able not to lose their strength characteristics up to 100 years.
- Fire safety. All materials used in the construction of buildings are non-combustible.
- There are no "cold bridges" in the elements of the outer walls.
- Metal frame houses are resistant toseismic conditions (withstand up to 9 points). This can be explained by the good elasticity of the steel frame of buildings, in which special additional bonds are used to achieve these properties.
Sustainable
The basis of the building is a high-tech metal frame made of galvanized metal, which belongs to an inorganic compound that is resistant to moisture. It has the property of not absorbing or releasing harmful substances into the environment, and is not affected by biological processes. All materials used in the building are hypoallergenic.
Metal frame houses: projects and architectural solutions
- This technology allows you to create projects of absolutely any complexity.
- Unsupported span distance - up to 12 meters. Maximum surface loads 1 sq. m floor is 1000 kg.
- Allowable number of floors - 6 floors. The most optimal building height is 2.8-4.0 m.
- Wall thickness can vary from 0.15 to 0.3 m.
- For the insulation of load-bearing external walls, floors and roofs, heaters of the NG or NG-1 group (mineral wool, extruded polystyrene foam, etc.) are used.
- Internal load-bearing walls and partitions require soundproofing.
The following materials are used for outdoor finishing works:
- For roofing - metal profile, metal tile or soft roofing.- For the facade - various types of plaster, fiberboard, brick,vinyl siding and other decorative items.
The plinth is lined with natural stone, plastered, etc.
Interior finishing is performed by GKL, DSP, GVL.
