Light Gauge Steel Framing
Providing sealed shop drawings for light gauge framings in accordance with the latest code:
Our Building Science services include the following:
Load bearing walls
These walls carry gravity loads from any type of floor or roof assemblies and can also be designed to carry lateral seismic and/or wind loads, including window and door openings as part of these walls.
Floor or roof assemblies supported by light gauge joists
Floor assemblies consisting of any fire rated or non-fire rated, as per architectural specifications, and details with various spans and floor destinations from typical office mezzanines to wharehouses or factory stores.
Roof assemblies as per architectural specifications and details with various spans.
Steel framing of mid-rise buildings, student residences, and care facilities as required
Complete gravity and lateral light gauge framing consisting of load bearing walls and cross strapped shear walls. Load bearing walls can support any floor assemblies in multi-story residential buildings.
Infill wind load bearing walls
Walls that are designed for taking the horizontal loads resulting from wind action against the building envelope and which are designed in accordance with architectural specifications and details. They are designed to carry different wall finishings such as stucco, brick, or stone veneer, including the window and door opening framing as required.
Parapets
All kinds of roof parapets for any type of residential, commercial, or industrial buildings. They are designed to carry lateral loads resulteding from wind loads acting perpendicularly or inclined as required and in accordance with architectural details and specifications.
Trusses and canopies
Designed for all type of residential commercial and industrial buildings that they can vary from short to relatively large spans, and can be used for supporting any typical roof assemblies.
