Rooftop Extensions - Light Gauge Steel Construction, Kuwait

Light gauge steel (LGS) framing is an ideal solution for building penthouses on top of existing apartment buildings. Here are a few of the reasons why LGS is the perfect choice for rooftop extensions on apartment buildings:

Steel framed buildings also do not decay and are easily adaptable if the configuration of the building needs to be changed. Steel structures can be easily dismantled and reconstructed at a different location very quickly and with little disruption to the building site.

• Extremely lightweight: a dynamic steel frame is 33 – 50% of the weight of a comparable timber frame
• Strength: steel has one of the highest strength to weight ratios of any conventional building product
• Reduced site disruption: steel structures are clean and quite to erect. They can be constructed without creating any dust or dirt, and cause very little noise in the process.
• Speed of construction: in most cases LGS is at least 30% faster than traditional build methods
• Cost savings: steel framing does not require the use of cranes, offering significant savings in costs for the developer.
