LSTC (light steel thin-walled structures) technology, superior to all traditional building systems in its innovative approach. The system is a modern high-tech solution, developed for fast, safe and energy-efficient construction. In general, LSTC is galvanized steel, which is not subject to rotting, has superiority in earthquakes, a lifetime guarantee of the structure and complete fire resistance. The result is a stable building without vibrations, drafts and heat losses. In modern construction, the choice of technology is no longer just a question of price. Factors such as safety, durability, energy efficiency, speed of implementation and predictability of the result are becoming increasingly important. It is here that LSTC prove their categorical superiority over traditional technologies - brick, concrete and wooden structures. A little further down you can see their comparison by category:
1. LSTK vs. brick construction:
Brick construction is perceived as "classic", but in reality it has a number of limitations:
high dead weight;
long implementation times;
cracks during subsidence and earthquakes.
2. LSTK outperforms brick in key indicators:
up to 6–7 times lower weight, which significantly reduces the load on the foundations, many times better seismic resistance, as the lightweight construction generates smaller inertial forces, better noise and heat insulation thanks to
multilayer walls, zero drying time – construction does not depend on the season.
3.LSTK vs. reinforced concrete:
Reinforced concrete is considered extremely strong, but this strength comes at a high price:
heavy structures;
complex formwork;
long terms;
difficult to control quality of the object.
In an earthquake, solid concrete is a risk, while the LSTC frame acts as a flexible protective skeleton.
4. LSTK vs. wooden structure:
Wooden houses have their advantages, but also serious weaknesses such as:
Sensitivity to moisture and risk of rot are just some of them.
5.LSTK eliminates all these problems:
galvanized steel that does not rot or age, lifetime warranty on the structure, full fire resistance. The result is a stable building without vibrations, drafts and heat losses. One of the biggest competitive advantages of LSTK is its behavior under seismic loads, as it has resistance up to 8–9 on the Richter scale, this is due to low mass, respectively low inertia, high plasticity, uniform distribution of loads.
6. Superiority in winds and weather conditions
LSTK buildings withstand winds of over 200–250 km/h, which is unattainable for classic residential construction. They also have exceptional superiority in noise and heat insulation. LSTK uses multilayer wall systems that combine: mass, elasticity and sound-absorbing materials, as a result of which you get 45–60 dB of noise insulation, better acoustics than brick and concrete, lower heating and cooling costs. While in traditional construction the result often depends on the “master”, in
7.LSTK result depends on the project and technology.
LSTK is not an alternative – it is the natural evolution of construction. The technology, as we have listed above, is superior to brick, concrete and wood. Therefore, LSTK today is the choice of people who think rationally, long-term and in perspective.
