Top Advantages of Steel Frame Construction

Top Advantages of Steel Frame Construction

Light-gauge steel frame (LGSF) systems are an innovative and efficient solution for modern construction. They offer numerous advantages over traditional methods and are quickly becoming a top choice for builders and architects. Here are five key benefits of using Façade Creations steel frame systems in your next project.

1. Accelerated Build Times
Our steel frames are prefabricated off-site using precise cutting and assembly methods. This allows for fast and accurate on-site construction, significantly reducing both build time and cost. LGSF is also lightweight and easy to handle, which dramatically speeds up the installation process.

2. Unmatched Durability
Known for their exceptional durability, our steel frames are ideal for multi-occupancy residential, commercial, and industrial projects. They resist pests, rot, and fire, ensuring a longer lifespan than traditional timber frames. Because they are less susceptible to moisture damage, they require minimal maintenance and offer long-term cost savings.

3. A Sustainable Choice
Our steel frame systems are an excellent choice for builders looking to reduce their environmental footprint. They minimize material waste and cut down on transportation emissions. Furthermore, steel can be recycled at the end of a building’s life, making it a highly sustainable option for the entire lifecycle of a building.

4. Superior Fire Resistance
Steel frame systems from Façade Creations provide excellent fire performance, both during and after construction. Through comprehensive fire testing, we have developed a suite of tested configurations for both load-bearing structures and infill envelopes. Our non-combustible through-wall build-ups meet the majority of project requirements up to 120 minutes of fire resistance.

5. Long-Term Cost Savings
Using our steel frame systems can save you money in the long run. Their durability and low maintenance needs reduce ongoing costs. The speed and efficiency of our systems also mean projects can be completed more quickly, lowering labor costs and shortening timelines. For commercial projects, a faster completion date means the building can begin generating income sooner.

At Façade Creations, we offer a wide range of steel frame systems engineered to meet the specific needs of your project. Contact us today to learn how we can help with your next construction project.
