LGS construction in Kenya
Vastu Company leads in LGS construction in Kenya. Light Gauge Steel is also called Cold Formed Steel (CFS) and Light Steel Framing (LSF). We recognize the current challenges in construction and provide solutions for sustainable building practices in Kenya through ongoing development of advanced LGS technology.
We strictly follow compliance rules during construction for homes and industrial buildings, including soundproofing, thermal insulation, moisture control, fire safety, and corrosion resistance.
The Vastu LGS System offers highest cost savings compared to traditional concrete or wood construction.
What is Light Gauge Steel?
Light gauge steel, or cold-formed steel, is a high-strength material made from long galvanized coils. These coils are shaped and joined to create durable long-lasting structures that can support heavy loads in various building projects. Unlike traditional concrete or wood, LGS resists against natural calamities, rust, rot, mold, fungus, pests, termites, and fire, making it a great choice for Kenya’s changing weather.
This year, we have been featured in the news media. To read the actual article, click here.
Uses of light gauge steel
Light gauge steel can be used to strengthen any building. It provides a solid base for long-lasting and attractive structures, supporting roofs, forming secure walls, creating stable floors, and building durable decks.
LGS roof trusses
Light gauge steel is primarily used for roof trusses. Its strong yet lightweight design allows for unique shapes, enhancing both protection and aesthetics. These trusses withstand various weather conditions, providing durable protection for the structure below.
LGS wall systems & framing
Light gauge steel is ideal for walls and framing in homes and businesses due to its flexibility. Its efficient profiles streamline construction, making assembly quick and easy. LGS creates strong walls for privacy and security, and offers a smooth surface for finishes. It's a durable, low-maintenance option that resists rot and pests.
LGS floor systems
When constructing floors, light gauge steel is used for its stability and durability. These steel floors provide strong foundations that can hold heavy loads in both homes and businesses. In high-traffic areas, this approach offers essential safety and support.
LGS outdoor decks
LGS is not just for indoor use; it is also great for building sturdy decks outside. LGS decks offer lasting support for both home balconies and commercial outdoor spaces. These weatherproof decks provide an ideal surface for relaxing, entertaining, or business activities, ensuring both style and safety.
