TEG Value-add to Light Gauge Steel
TEG has removed the deficiencies in traditional Light Gauge Steel by proposing a one-stop complete solution – with options for cladding using multiboard Marmox.(UK), gypsum boards, Fermacell and lightest concrete in the world – Politerm Blu (density 250 kg / m3) besides waterproofing.
Steel being infinitely and a green building product, TEG has been able to launch a complete system using its Light Gauge Steel Building Technology.

- Roof Trusses
- Wall Studs
- LGS Floor Joist
- Cleats
- Hangers
- Connectors & Joiners
- Designed Coated Assembling and Installation Screws
- Bracing Straps, Sliding Shoes & Speed Brace
- Shield Anchor Bolts and Rwal Plugs
- Bituminous Felts
BENEFITS OF USING LIGHT GAUGE STEEL
• Can be pre-fabricated on-site
• Highest strength-to-weight-ratio
• 100% recyclable
• 100% non-combustible and will not contribute to a fire or the spread of a fire
• Non-combustible - does not burn and will not fuel a fire
• Inorganic - will not rot, warp, split, crack or creep
• Dimensionally stable - does not expand or contract with moisture content
• Consistent material quality - produced according to steel manufacturers standards
• Lighter than other framing materials - no lifting equipment needed on site. One person can carry a 5 meter fabricated panel
• Value Engineering
• Straight walls and square corners
• Less scrap and waste (2% for steel versus 20% for wood)
• No drying out period in wet weather, no delays
• High strength results in safer structures, less maintenance and slow ageing of structure
• Fire Safety
• Not vulnerable to termites
• No toxic chemicals are used to treat steel, unlike timber. Not vulnerable to fungi or organism
• Less chance of foundation problems since its 5 x lighter than wood, resulting in less movement
• Less probability of damage in earthquake or high winds due to lighter structure, stronger connections, riveted and screwed versus nail
