Seismic Resistance
Low-rise villas typically feature pitched roofs, utilizing a triangular truss system made of cold-formed steel components. Once structural sheathing and gypsum board are installed, these light-gauge steel components form a robust "panel-rib structural system." This system offers superior seismic resistance and lateral load-bearing capacity, making it suitable for regions with seismic intensity ratings of 8 or higher.
Wind Resistance
Steel-framed structures are lightweight yet high-strength, offering excellent overall rigidity and deformation capacity. Weighing only one-fifth of traditional brick-concrete structures, they can withstand hurricane-force winds of 70 meters per second, effectively protecting lives and property.
Durability
Light-gauge steel homes utilize a structural system composed entirely of cold-formed, thin-walled steel components. The steel framework is manufactured from high-strength, cold-rolled galvanized sheet steel with superior anti-corrosion properties; this effectively prevents rust during both construction and use, thereby extending the service life of the components. The structure is designed for a lifespan of up to 100 years.
Thermal Insulation
Glass fiber wool is the primary insulation material used, providing excellent thermal performance. Insulation boards applied to exterior walls effectively eliminate "thermal bridges," further enhancing thermal efficiency; for instance, a layer of R15 insulation wool approximately 100mm thick offers thermal resistance equivalent to a 1-meter-thick brick wall.
Sound Insulation
Sound insulation is a key metric for evaluating residential quality. Windows in light-gauge steel systems feature double-glazed glass, achieving sound reduction of over 40 decibels. Wall assemblies-comprising light-gauge steel framing, insulation materials, and gypsum board-can achieve sound insulation levels of up to 60 decibels.
Health and Wellness
Construction relies on dry-assembly methods, minimizing environmental pollution from waste. The steel structural materials are 100% recyclable, and most auxiliary materials are also recyclable, aligning with modern environmental standards. All materials are eco-friendly and meet ecological requirements, promoting a healthy living environment.
Comfort
Light-gauge steel walls utilize a high-efficiency, energy-saving system with "breathable" properties that regulate indoor humidity. The roof design incorporates ventilation features, creating an airflow space beneath the roof structure to ensure proper ventilation and heat dissipation.
Speed of Construction
Construction utilizes entirely dry-assembly methods, allowing work to proceed regardless of environmental conditions or the season. For a building of approximately 300 square meters, the entire process-from foundation to interior finishing-can be completed by just five workers in 30 working days.
Eco-friendly
Materials are 100% recyclable, ensuring a truly green and pollution-free process.
Energy-efficient
High-efficiency, energy-saving wall systems are used throughout, offering excellent thermal insulation and soundproofing capabilities, and meeting a 50% energy-saving standard.
