Characteristics and Advantages of Light Steel Villa Houses

Light steel villa houses, also known as light steel structure houses, refer to houses built using light steel keel as the main building material, combined with precise calculations and the support and integration of auxiliary parts. This article focuses on the characteristics and advantages of light steel villa houses.

Light Steel Villa House: Service Life

According to the local standard GB50018-2002 for low-rise residential cold-formed thin-walled steel structures, the service life of light steel villa houses is more than 50 years. With the added protection of moisture-proof materials, soundproofing materials, and outer roof decorations, the house's lifespan can reach over 70 years, making it more durable than normal brick-concrete structures.

Light Steel Villa House: Sound Insulation Effect

Light steel villa houses have glass fiber cotton filled inside the wall keel for sound insulation. Concrete can also be poured and tiles can be laid on the floor panels. During the interior construction, the silicon calcium board used to seal the inner walls also has a soundproofing effect. The extruded board on the external wall also has soundproofing benefits.

Light Steel Villa House: Moisture Proofing Treatment

In light steel villa houses, a layer of one-way moisture-proof breathing paper is laid on the wall surface as a moisture-proof measure. This can discharge the house's moisture while also blocking external moisture.

Light Steel Villa House: Lightning Protection System

After the whole structure of the light steel villa house is well connected to the ground, it forms a very good lightning protection system. Traditional houses need galvanized lightning rods, while the aluminum-zinc-coated materials of light steel villa houses, when tightly connected to the ground, form a complete lightning protection system.

Light Steel Villa House: Fire Protection Level

The fire protection level of light steel villa houses meets the national fourth-level fire protection standard. In the event of a large fire, the main structure can burn for half an hour, prioritizing the escape of residents.

Light Steel Villa House: Safety Performance

Light steel villa houses can withstand winds up to level 13 and earthquakes up to level 9. Reliable connections and the strength characteristics of steel make them inherently resistant to earthquakes and hurricanes. The high toughness of steel makes it the best choice of building material in earthquake resistance design.
