Replace Light Steel Frame Roof with Cost Saving
The use of wood as a roof truss is a way that has existed since the first, let alone several regions in Indonesia alone there are quite a lot of different types of wood with the quality and prices vary. However, for now the concomitant progress of the times and technology, there are already alternative to wood that can be used as a cover or roof frame, ie mild steel is one of them.
Besides the quality is much better, the use or installation of lightweight steel roof truss is also the right choice for some conditions, including if you want a more rapid development, or development carried out in areas prone to landslides. In addition, the installation of lightweight steel roof truss cheap but quality still can be the right choice to make cost savings to the maximum.
Excess lighter than the steel frame with a wood frame
Many differences between mild steel frame with wood, mild steel is produced using high technology to produce products that are truly qualified. Here are some advantages of using a lightweight steel frame:
- Durability and long-term lasting up
- Lightweight, so it certainly has the burden of building structures light roof construction
- The size and shape precision solid
- Resistant to fire, if a fire does not increase the risk of fire
- Minimize errors in the installation process
- Not using welding in the installation, the process is faster than other roof frame
- No need to be painted, because it has been coated with anti-rust materials
- Minimize material wastage
How to lightweight steel roof truss installation is easy, steel frame itself is composed of long plates (profiles) that vary in size and shape according to the function of each in the house roof truss structure.
How to lightweight steel roof truss installation for the horses or the main frame and gording, mild steel profiles are formed as "I" or "U" upside down and have a larger size. The next lath, batten is binding horses and gording which transverse position on the horses and gording, as well as tying the horses and the gording to form a solid framework.
Lightweight steel roof truss installation is appropriate for development in the landslide-prone area. Lightweight steel roof truss that weighs approximately 6 kg per square meter. The weights are fairly mild when compared to other roofing materials order. It is advisable to hold the walls of the ground to avoid landslides by wall gravity (masonry times) for the height of the wall no more than 4 meters, retaining wall kantilevert (reinforced concrete) for a wall height of no more than 6 to 7 meters, and so forth.
Mild steel frame structure or material that can be tailored to a local geographical circumstances. Suppose you are building on the seafront or the beach, then mild steel frame that you use will be coated with certain materials that will adjust to the contour of the beach area (not easily corroded course). Do you have surplus wood material this? I do not think so
So a little explanation why you should begin to look for lightweight steel frame as one of the elements of your building. Hopefully this article helpful.
