Metal frame houses are a new and very promising area in low-rise construction. This technology allows you to efficiently and quickly build structures for various purposes: apartment buildings, private mansions, office and warehouse buildings, shops, etc. Replacing traditional expensive materials with an inexpensive metal frame makes it possible to significantly reduce the cost of construction, while not reducing high operational quality of the structure.
Fields of application
Turnkey metal frame houses from LSTK are being built for various purposes:
- one-story private houses, cottages and buildings up to 3 floors;
- low-rise residential and office premises;
- hotels and hostels;
- administrative buildings;
- shopping malls;
- warehouses and hangars;
- Gas station, car wash, etc.
Metal frame technology is also widely used for the reconstruction of buildings, it makes it possible to erect attics, superstructures and extensions, and create exploitable roofs.
The main advantages of LSTK technology
Construction using LSTK technology (light steel thin-walled structures) has a number of advantages:
- Convenience of installation work.
- Fast construction time.
- Relatively low cost.
- Reliability and durability of buildings.
- Environmental friendliness.
Convenience of installation work
Prefabricated metal frame houses using LSTK technology due to machine-building accuracy in the manufacture of metal frame parts and their lightness are mounted as a children's designer. All parts have special mounting holes and crimps at the junction points. In addition, each part has a unique marking. High accuracy in the design is obtained due to the high software and production line of the latest generation.
Construction period
The construction of metal-frame houses is carried out in a short time:
- design takes an average of 5-8 days, which depends on the complexity of the projects and the area of the facilities;
- the construction of walls, panels, ceilings, rafters is completed in about 6-7 days;
- Delivery (depending on the distance to the construction site) of metal structures takes no more than 3 days;
- frame assembly work takes 10-14 days, which depends on the complexity of the object;
- Finishing is done approximately 30-45 days.
Low cost
- The ability to perform construction work at all times of the year.
- Metal frame houses from LSTK do not shrink. Internal finishing work can be performed immediately after its construction.
- The small specific weight of the structures (per 1 sq. M - 30 kg) makes it possible to use LSTK during reconstruction of buildings, to carry out construction in conditions of rather close urban development without involving heavy and cumbersome lifting equipment.
- Low cost of installation of buildings from LSTK.
- Savings on the foundation. The low weight of metal structures allows for a more economical foundation.
- Effective energy-saving properties that can significantly reduce the cost of operating houses and reduce the load on urban networks.
Reliability and durability of buildings
- High quality construction. This is achieved through the manufacture of metal frames in the factory on highly automated equipment with software. This allows you to get the accuracy of the strength of the calculated indicators and a fairly uniform load on the entire metal structure.
- Metal frame houses are quite durable. They are able to not lose their strength characteristics up to 100 years.
- Fire safety. All materials used in the construction of buildings are non-combustible.
- IN elements of the outer walls do not form “cold bridges”.
- Metal frame houses are resistant to seismic conditions (withstand up to 9 points). This can be explained by the good elasticity of the steel frame of buildings, in which special additional bonds are also used to achieve these properties.
Environmental friendliness
The basis of the building is a high-tech metal frame made of galvanized metal, which refers to an inorganic compound that is resistant to moisture. It has the ability not to absorb and release harmful substances into the environment, is not affected by biological processes. All materials used in the building are hypoallergenic.
Metal frame houses: projects and architectural solutions
- This technology allows you to create projects of absolutely any complexity.
- Safe span distance - up to 12 meters. Maximum load on the surface of 1 square. m of floor are 1000 kg.
- Allowable floors - 6 floors. The most optimal building height is 2.8-4.0 m.
- Wall thickness can vary from 0.15 to 0.3 m.
- For the insulation of load-bearing external walls, floors and roofs, heaters of the NG or NG-1 group are used (mineral wool, extruded polystyrene foam, etc.).
- Internal load-bearing walls and partitions require sound insulation.
For exterior finishing work the following materials are used:
- For a roof - a metal profile, a metal tile or a soft roof.
- For the facade - various types of plaster, fiberboard, brick, vinyl siding and other decorative elements.
The plinth is lined with natural stone, plastered, etc.
The interior decoration is performed by GKL, TsSP, GVL.
