Differences Between Prefabricated and Light Steel Structure
In our country, Light Steel Structures and Prefabricated structures are frequently confused by our customers. However, Prefabricated Structure and Light Steel Structure are two different types of structures with serious systematic differences.
Prefabricated structures can also be applied on steel carcass, but they usually have ready-made panel roofs and walls consisting of composite roof and facade cladding material called Sandwich Panel (EPS) between H profiles. It is in the temporary structure type class. The advantageous features of such structures are that they can be constructed or disassembled again in a short time by planning their installation in advance, with low cost.
Steel structures; It is in the permanent housing class just like concrete structures. Many coating, insulation and accessory options can be applied on the carcass consisting of galvanized steel C profiles, depending on the project and preference. In Steel Construction Buildings, the main carrier is steel columns. Wall thicknesses, insulation and the visual of the structure may change according to customer requests.
In other words, Light Steel structures contain variable wall and insulation options like other types of permanent structures. It is almost impossible to understand that a structure is steel from the outside. Galvanized Steel Carcass is resistant to decay and corrosion up to 50 years. They are permanent housing class structures that do not require maintenance for many years and do not wear out.
Since Steel Structures are manufactured from galvanized high quality steel in the factory, they are much stronger and more resistant to earthquakes than concrete and other building types. In addition to being an economical, durable and environmentally friendly building system; It also prevents wastage of time and unnecessary manpower and capital, since it can be built very quickly regardless of weather conditions.
