Single to 2-3 Storey LGS Structures
It is generally recognised Internationally that the C89mm profile Framer manufacturing to a maximum gauge of 1.2mm is the most popular for a
wide range of applications for single to 3 level residential houses and for
light commercial structures
The SFS-SP120 C89 profile Framer (0.6mm - 1.2mm) for Load Bearing Structures
from single to 3 levels for medium spans. For wider spans, heavier
design loads and thicker perimeter structural walls for greater thermal properties
combine with a SFS-SP120 C140 profile Framer (0.6mm - 1.2mm)
Multi-level Structures
For larger span structures and multi-storey over 3 levels typically up
to 5 to 6 levels requires a heavier 1.6mm gauge and wider profile
The SFS-SP160 C89 profile Framer (0.75mm - 1.6mm gauge) for Load Bearing
Structures up to 6 levels as illustrated.
For wider spans, heavier bearing loads and wider profile perimeter structural walls for
increased line loads that also provide greater thermal properties extend your LGS manufacturing with a SFS-SP160 C140 profile Framer (0.75mm - 1.6mm gauge)
Multi-Storey Building Facades
Hi-Rise Apartment Complex
This Luxury Apartment Development is conventional concrete construction.
To fast track the completion to the market the perimeter wall frames were constructed from 140mm 1.2mm gauge galvanised steel profiles.
The external cladding facade systems as illustrated are mounted to the LGS 140mm Galvanised Steel Frames
The SFS-SP120 C140 profile Framer (0.75mm - 1.2mm gauge) manufactures this frame profile for Rain Screen Facade Systems ready for on-site assembly & installation
Office Building - Terracotta Tiled Facade
A commercial building in the UK with an external facade of terracotta tiles mounted to a rain screen system. Supporting the external rain screen facade are LGS Frames using 1.2mm gauge galvanised steel profiles, assembled & installed onsite, a proven fast track build solution eliminating wet trade works
The SFS-SP120 C89 profile Framer (0.6mm - 1.2mm gauge) manufacturers this LGS Profile for the Facade Steel Frames ready for fast cost effective on-site assembly & installation
The Rain Screen Facade support rails are fixed directly to the LGS Frames
Roof Trusses & Roof Panels
Retail & Warehouse Building
Retail Outlet & Warehouse unsupported wide span Roof Trusses and Roof Panels manufactured from C140 profiles (1.2mm gauge) with medium tensile galvanised steel coils.
The Roof Trusses with C140 profile Roof Panels were lifted into place
and the whole operation completed in 3 days with 4 men and a HIAB Truck
The SFS-SP120 C140 profile Framer (0.75mm - 1.2mm) manufactured the frame profiles
for fast cost effective factory frame assembly, delivered ready for site installation
Residential Truss & Panel Roofs
The majority of residential roof trusses & panels are manufactured with a
SP120 Framer (89mm profile) up to 1.2mm gauge for most medium span applications, when higher design loads & wider unsupported spans are required a SP160 Framer (89mm profile) up to 1.6mm gauge is widely used.
The SFS-SP120 C89 profile Framer (0.6mm - 1.2mm gauge) up to medium span roof trusses, beams & floor joists or a SFS-SP160 C89 profile Framer (0.75mm - 1.6mm gauge) for medium to wide unsupported spans
Floor Joists
Lattice Beam Floor Joists
The open web of a lattice beam joist enables clear and easy access for all MEP Services, conduits, cabling, plumbing pipes, ventilation flexible ducting and a ceiling cavity void for recessed lighting fittings with the added benefit of space for acoustic and thermal insulation blankets eg; "Rockwool" material.
The SFS-SP120 C89 Framer (0.6mm - 1.2mm gauge) up to medium span floor joists
and beams or for medium to wide span floor joists requires a SFS-SP160 Framer 89mm profile thickness ranging from (0.6mm - 1.6mm gauge)
Robust CFB or Concrete Screed Floors
Composite flooring board such as CFB (cement fibre board) for sole occupancy multi-level housing or a high performance acoustic and fire rated conventional or light weight concrete floor finish screed using a trapezoidal metal decking as the formwork without back propping for fast track construction solution
The SFS-MP150 multi-profile Framer is a very cost effective solution with the ability to manufacture 3 Profile widths 75mm|89mm|140mm (0.75mm - 1.6mm) for a wide range
of LGS Structures and medium to wide span Floor Joists and Beams
Bathroom Pods
LGS Frame Pods
The C75 (75mm) profile width that is becoming accepted as the International standard for LGS bathroom pod cages with C65 (65mm) also used in the Bathroom Pod Industry.
LGS Pod Frames are now specified for the majority of Bathroom Pod contracts due to proven robust performance and light weight construction benefits.
Ability for a POD Manufacturer to react instantly to design changes with an automated Pod LGS manufacturing process with zero error for total accuracy.
LGS Production Benefits
The Bathroom POD Company can design a LGS Pod Cage and manufacture the prototype Bathroom Pod Cage, make changes in less than a day, not weeks.
Manufacture precise repetitive LGS POD Cage Frames to within (+- 1mm) with no manual
cutting, welding or specialist trade skills
All of the POD Cage Frame profile connections & service holes are pre-punched for rapid assembly and simplified installation of MEP Plumbing, Electrical cables and conduits.
The SFS-SP120 C65 profile or C75 profile Framers are available for the POD Cage profiles with high speed production up to 620linear/metres/Hr
Dry Wall Framing
Commercial Dry Wall Framing
The LGS Manufacturer can utilize their C89mm profile Framer to produce Dry Wall Frames, with all dimensions from architectural Auto-CAD drawings to design and manufacture all the profile components for complete LGS frames
Packaged into bundles to be delivered to site with the CADesign Software production A4 drawings detailing the assembly order & dimensions. To locate where the frames are to be installed the frames are identified with an inkjet ID during manufacture.
Less than 2% Material Wastage
As Dry Wall Track & Stud lengths are cut on-site the material wastage is very high, acknowledged to be in excess of 25% contributing to waste removal logistics & cost. Material waste with LGS technology is typically less than 2%
The heavier gauge of the 0.6mm LGS Frames results in very robust walls with MEP services installed before the gypsum board is fitted thereby reducing damage
The SFS-SP120 and SP160 Framers manufacture true un-swaged cut to length studs
and U Channel Top/Bottom Plates specially for Dry Wall high speed production at over 650linear/metres/Hr
