Why Are Light Steel Construction Houses Popular? How To Build A Light Steel House?
Light steel construction houses are a self-built house type that currently attracts more attention from consumers. As a new type of house construction, although its promotion time is short, it is enough to set off a heated discussion among the public. So why did light steel construction houses rise? Next, the editor will take a look with everyone.
Why did light steel buildings rise?
The rise of light steel construction houses in the construction industry is inseparable from the recognition and promotion of the country. In addition, it is also inseparable from its own construction advantages. The specific analysis is as follows:
1. The development of prefabricated light steel buildings is conducive to saving resources and energy, reducing construction pollution, improving labor production efficiency and quality and safety levels. It is conducive to promoting the deep integration of the industrialization of the construction industry and the information industry, cultivating new industries and new momentum, and promoting the resolution of excess production capacity. .
2. Beautiful appearance
High-strength galvanized steel has excellent processing properties and can be flexibly assembled, making it possible to build various styles of buildings.
3. High housing acquisition rate
The interior walls of light steel buildings are only 11cm and the exterior walls are 16cm, which is much lower than that of brick-concrete structures. It increases the usable area by up to 7-10% compared with ordinary brick-concrete structures.
4. Comfort
A. Heat insulation: The materials used in light steel buildings have thermal insulation functions. A 15cm thick wall is equivalent to a 1m thick brick wall. Excellent thermal insulation performance.
B. Sound insulation: Light steel buildings are filled with sound insulation cotton, and the sound insulation effect reaches more than 50db, while ordinary brick-concrete structures are less than 40db.
C. Breathable and moisture-proof: The entire outer wall of the light steel building is equipped with a layer of one-way breathing paper. The air flow can be free and smooth but water vapor cannot enter the indoor from the outside, achieving the function of being both breathable and moisture-proof.
5. Quick construction and easy maintenance
After the foundation is completed, it usually takes 30-50 days to complete, which is half the time of a brick-concrete structure. Light steel construction houses are only 1/6 of the weight of traditional houses, which reduces transportation difficulties in mountainous areas and is easy to build.
6. Security
A. Earthquake resistance: It uses high-strength galvanized steel, with high overall stiffness, high component strength, and light structural weight. It is a flexible structure and has inherent earthquake resistance advantages, and can withstand magnitude 9 earthquakes.
B. Wind resistance: The light steel building structure has good overall rigidity and strong deformation ability, which can be alleviated even in hurricane situations. The mechanism and foundation are connected with anchor studs and anti-pull-out parts, which can withstand Category 12 typhoons. .
C. Resistance to subsidence: Light steel buildings have light weight, strong overall connectivity, and good resistance to geological subsidence.
D. Fire resistance: Light steel buildings are basically made of fireproof and non-combustible materials, and have excellent fireproof performance.
How to build a light steel building house
1. Foundation
The self-weight of a light steel building house is very light, less than 1/4 of the weight of a brick-concrete structure house. Therefore, the safety requirements for the foundation are relatively low, and the foundation does not need to be dug very deep. However, it is different from the foundation of a brick-concrete structure house. The difference is that he needs a flat cement floor.
2. Light steel frame installation
After waterproofing the flat foundation, install the keel frame. The light steel keel is a double-sided galvanized steel material. It not only has good toughness and ductility, but also ensures that the house will never collapse during an earthquake. The spacing between light steel keels is scientifically calculated to ensure the overall safety of the house.
3. Wall installation
The walls of light steel construction houses also need to be installed. Unlike traditional houses that require red bricks and concrete, the walls of light steel construction houses are composed of functional panels. There are many types of functional panels. Commonly used ones include fireproof, waterproof, Anti-noise, thermal insulation, thermal insulation and various wall hanging panels for decoration, etc.
4. Roof treatment
The roof treatment is similar to the wall installation, except that a sun protection layer and a waterproof layer are added, and a layer of tiles is covered on top.
5. Interior wall treatment
The materials for the interior walls can be selected according to economic conditions. Cheaper ones include gypsum board, while more expensive ones include plywood, wooden boards, etc. The price of these materials is directly related to the overall cost of the house.
6. Selection of parts
The price differences of components are also very different. In addition, the prices of doors, floors, cabinets and other components are also very different. Individuals choose according to their own circumstances.
7. The main body of the light steel building house is divided into these six parts. After completion, the water and electricity installation can be completed according to the reserved pipelines, and then you can move in.
