LSF has the highest strength to weight ratio of any other construction material. This combined with lightness allows potential of building on top of existing buildings without impacting on existing foundations

Galvanised steel is produced from recycled steel and is itself recyclable. ‘Cut to fit’ technology ensures minimal waste in the factory and on site with reductions on skips, transportation and landfill costs

LSF allows high levels of thermal insulation and air tightness reducing heating costs. High levels of acoustic separation are also achieved through the air tightness and the different density boards also provide the fire integrity. The steel itself is none combustible and therefore does not add to the fire load. Steel does not creep, warp or shrink and therefore does not add to the deterioration of the internal finishes reducing maintenance.

Sites where steel is used have minimum disruption to the environment and the neighbourhood with reduced site activities and the speed of construction. The transportation and delivery of materials is reduced and on site safety is improved with the use of the lighter components. Steel can be adapted to almost any design and the cladding materials become aesthetic rather than structural so any type of cladding can be adapted or adopted to suit the client or the local planning requirements.
