Light Gauge Steel Market

Light Gauge Steel Market: Overview

• Light gauge steel is structural quality steel sheet, which is formed into shapes either through press-braking blanks sheared from sheets or coils, or more commonly, by roll forming the sheet through a series of dies
• Light gauge steel is essentially framed and used in various applications. These frames can be used throughout a structure, including load-bearing exterior walls, non-load bearing interior walls, floor joists, curtain walls, and roof trusses.
• The use of modern construction techniques is encouraging users to opt for light gauge steel owing to its light weight and recyclable property. Additionally, light gauge steel is found to be cost effective in the formation of civil structures compared to traditional clay, stone, or brick.
• Light gauge steel is usually used in residential and industrial construction such as office buildings, steel structure workshops, warehouses, and stadiums. Rapid growth in the construction sector across the globe is likely to boost the global light gauge steel market in the near future.
