Rushforth has gained considerable expertise in the use of light-gauge steel framing (LGSF), an outstanding cost-effective and sustainable alternative to traditional wood framing systems.
LGSF offers many advantages to traditional wood framing. More durable than wood, LGSF is insect- and moisture-resistant and won’t rot or mold, and during construction doesn’t require time-consuming adjustments for crowning, splitting, or flaws. And because it accommodates greater spans than traditional wood framing, LGSF is suitable for the construction of more types of floor plans, particularly large open spaces.
LGSF is the ideal choice for green building projects since it contains at least 25% recycled content and is 100% recyclable. In addition, by using LGSF you are eligible to earn credit points under Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design® (LEED®) programs.
