Light steel villa is a house construction system that uses light steel keels as the main material and other insulation and decorative materials through factory integrated production and on-site assembly. So who is this "light steel"? Why is its load-bearing capacity and corrosion resistance so strong that it can keep a house standing for more than 100 years?
Light steel villas, also known as light steel structure houses, are mainly made of light steel keels synthesized from hot-dip galvanized steel strips through cold rolling technology. After precise calculations and the support and combination of auxiliary parts, they play a reasonable role. Carrying capacity to replace traditional houses. Because its load-bearing structure is a light steel structure and its shape is particularly beautiful, this new type of house is called a light steel villa.
The construction technology of lightweight steel structure low-rise residences evolved on the basis of North American style wood structure construction technology. After more than a hundred years of development, it has formed a mature construction with excellent physical properties, flexible space and shape, easy construction, and various forms. system. In the North American continent, which is known as the best living environment in the world, more than 95% of low-rise civil buildings, including residences, shopping malls, schools, office buildings, etc., are built with wooden structures or light steel structures (even our close neighbors Japan and South Korea). Moreover, the market development of light steel structure systems in North America is growing rapidly with a growth rate of more than 30%, and is gradually being widely accepted by the market. At the same time, it is also widely used in our close neighbors Japan and South Korea and Australia.
To sum up, the reasons for the rapid development of light steel structures in North America can be summarized as mature and reliable technology, flexible structural systems that are conducive to construction and commercial development, high construction economy, and advanced technology that conforms to the trend of environmental protection, energy conservation, and sustainable development.
The technology and product configuration of light steel structures are very mature and have a high degree of industrialization. They are the result of nearly a century of development of construction technology and building materials industry in North America. The galvanized steel plate used in the building structure has excellent corrosion resistance and durability. Its service life under normal use is 275 years.
The seismic performance of light steel structures is far superior to traditional concrete and brick-concrete houses. At the same time, due to the light weight of the light steel structure, the weight per unit area is only equivalent to 1/4 of the weight of the brick-concrete structure of the same area, so its foundation treatment is simple and suitable for most geological conditions. Steel structure houses no longer have to worry about termite damage like wood structure houses.
