Specification of Light Steel

Selling cheap mild steel

The benefits of lightweight steel for minimalist residential construction are many, apart from being able to help protect the environment by minimizing the use of wood, this material is durable to use for decades. Mild steel is a type of thin steel, but has the equivalent of conventional steel. The material is resistant to termite attacks, making this material often the solution to replace wood as a roof frame. Lightweight steel roof trusses are made to facilitate assembly and construction. Although thin, this material has a high degree of tensile strength of around 550 MPa, whereas ordinary steel is only about 300 MPa.

The advantages of mild steel

1. Due to its light weight compared to wood, the load that must be borne by the structure underneath is lower. This is most useful for buildings located in earthquake prone districts.
   
2. In the event of a fire, the steel frame has no potential to increase fire. This is in stark contrast to a wooden frame. When a fire occurs, wood burns easily.
3. The steel roof frame is free from termite attacks, so it is not durable and does not need frequent renovations.
4. Installation is relatively faster when compared to wooden frames.
