What is light steel framing?

Light steel framing is a construction method that uses cold-formed steel sections to create the structural framework for buildings. These steel components are lightweight, highly durable, and can be prefabricated off-site for quick assembly. Light steel framing is commonly used in residential, commercial, and industrial construction due to its strength, precision, and resistance to termites and fire. This method also allows for flexible design and can be combined with other building materials. It is considered an efficient and sustainable alternative to traditional timber framing.
