Light steel villas have been popular in China for some time now. When they first became popular, people often doubted whether light steel villas were safe and durable. After a period of development, the light steel villa industry has become increasingly mature, and the question of whether they are durable is outdated. If you don't believe me, just look around at the light steel villas . Aren't many people already building light steel villas?

 

 

Light steel villas are a rapidly developing emerging industry in China. After several years of development, they have become widespread. To understand the durability of light steel villas, one can learn from the experiences of qualified steel structure homeowners. The durability of light steel villas is mainly due to their unique frame and supporting construction materials.

 

The structural frame of a light steel villa utilizes a new type of building material: light steel keel. This keel is a metal skeleton made from high-quality hot-dip galvanized steel strip, rolled using cold-formed thin-wall technology, with a yield strength of Q550. This effectively meets the requirements of large-scale and lightweight engineering machinery. Galvanized steel prevents corrosion from moisture, ensuring corrosion of less than 0.1 micrometers within three years. This means that 8-micrometer galvanized steel components can have a lifespan of up to 240 years under normal use. Based on this, the service life of a light steel villa is at least 70 years. Furthermore, the yield strength of the light steel keel allows the light steel villa to remain sturdy even under earthquakes and hurricanes.

 

The main wall construction materials include extruded polystyrene (XPS) boards, OSB boards, fiberglass wool, asphalt shingles, gypsum board, and metal decorative panels. The use of these materials ensures the house's thermal insulation, heat preservation, and sound insulation performance. Light steel villas, while meeting the requirements of durability, also ensure comfort, guaranteeing not only a good living experience for users but also their personal safety.

 

Light steel villas first appeared as temporary earthquake-resistant housing. Their ability to withstand earthquakes and remain intact demonstrates their durability. Homeowners looking to build a house need not worry; look around, haven't the people there already put aside their concerns and built their light steel villas?
