Galvanized Light Steel Keel for Drywall Partition and Ceiling
❒ Load bearing capacity
light gauge steel joists is unique in ceiling installation and has many advantages, making it the preferred choice. Firstly, it has excellent load-bearing capacity and can easily support the entire ceiling structure, ensuring stability and safety. light gauge steel joists can effectively support the suspended ceiling structure, ensuring safety and stability.
❒ Lightweight and self weight
light gauge steel joists stands out for its lightweight texture. When combined with 9mm gypsum board for suspended ceilings, its weight is only one fourth of that of plastered ceilings, greatly reducing the construction burden. The lightweight nature reduces construction difficulty and overall weight.
❒ Fire resistance performance
light gauge steel joists is often combined with 2 to 4 layers of gypsum board to form partitions, demonstrating outstanding fire resistance with a duration of 1.0 to 1.6 hours, ensuring its superior fire resistance performance. Combined with multi-layer gypsum board, it provides long-term fire resistance.
❒ Construction speed
With its lightweight texture, the light steel keel adopts a prefabricated construction method, making the construction process faster. Experienced construction personnel can easily complete partition construction of 3 to 4 meters within one day. Prefabricated construction is fast and efficient, improving overall construction efficiency.
❒ Structural safety
light gauge steel joists, with its high strength and rigidity, makes the suspended ceiling structure stable and reliable, providing strong security for safety. The high strength and rigidity ensure the stability and durability of the ceiling.
❒ Impact resistance
When light gauge steel joists is combined with paper faced gypsum board with a thickness of 9 to 18 millimeters, the resulting partition wall has excellent impact resistance, with a fracture load value of up to 390N to 850N, demonstrating outstanding resistance to impact. The high impact resistance increases the practicality of light gauge steel joists.
❒ Seismic performance
light gauge steel joists and surface layer are usually firmly connected by sliding connectors such as nails and screws, which make them have excellent seismic resistance. During an earthquake, the partition only generates support sliding and does not cause damage to the light gauge steel joists and surface layer, ensuring its stability. Sliding connectors enhance seismic performance and improve structural stability.
