Frequently Asked Questions
What is light gauge steel roofing?
LGS uses cold-formed steel sections — thinner and lighter than structural steel — to create strong, dimensionally accurate roof frames. It is termite-proof, non-combustible, and has a design life exceeding 50 years.
Is LGS more expensive than timber roofing?
The upfront cost is comparable or slightly higher, but LGS has significantly lower lifetime costs — no termite treatment, no warping, minimal maintenance, and a much longer lifespan.
How fast can you install an LGS roof?
Prefabrication means the roof structure for a typical residential home can be installed in 2–5 days on site, compared to 2–4 weeks for timber.
Can LGS be used for large commercial spans?
Yes. LGS is ideal for warehouses, factories, schools, and sports facilities where large column-free spans are required.
