RapidFrame LGS

Product Description of RapidFrame LGS

Wood framing is quickly becoming outdated and light gauge steel (LGS) is emerging as the smarter choice. Unlike wood, LGS will not rot, warp, attract termites, or easily catch fire, making it a durable option that stands strong in diverse environmental conditions. Beyond durability, LGS also offers buildability, structural strength, design flexibility, and sustainability, making it an ideal solution for your applications.

Light gauge steel framing (LGSF) is produced by forming steel coils at room temperature in a process known as cold forming. LGSF is now used worldwide in residential, commercial, industrial, public, institutional, and recreational projects because of its speed of erection, reliability, and long-term performance.

Tradecorp provides RapidFrame, our light gauge steel solution designed to deliver efficiency, strength, and lasting quality. By using RapidFrame in your construction projects, whether commercial or residential, you can save valuable time and reduce costs without sacrificing durability or performance.

Main Structural Components

  • Wall Panel: A prefabricated components of a building’s wall system, manufactured from structural steel plates that are shaped into profiles, such as C, Z, or S sections.
  • Roof Truss: A triangular framework designed to support and distribute the weight of a roof evenly across the building’s walls. Roof trusses come in a variety of forms, including common truss, girder truss, hip truss, scissor truss, dual pitch truss, jack truss, half truss, cut-off truss, and saddle truss.
  • Floor Joist: A horizontal structural member that spans an open space, supports the flooring system, and transfers loads from the floor to vertical structural members.
  • Lattice Joist: A horizontal load-bearing structure built with interconnected components arranged in a truss-like pattern. This design enhances strength and stability, giving it a higher load-bearing capacity and making it, especially suitable for larger or multi-story buildings.

FAQ

How are RapidFrame components manufactured?

RapidFrame components are manufactured using cold-formed steel. Thin steel sheets are processed through roll-forming machines that shape the material into precise profiles. These machines create consistent and reliable structural elements with common profiles, such as “C” and “U” shapes, which are widely used for metal studs in framing applications.

What Is the Difference Between RapidFrame and Heavy Gauge Framing?

RapidFrame is made with thinner steel, making it lightweight, cost-efficient, and ideal for residential, commercial, and mid-rise buildings. Heavy gauge framing, on the other hand, uses thicker steel sections that provide greater strength and load-bearing capacity, making it the preferred choice for larger and more demanding structures.
