Lightweight metal structures are composed of self-supporting walls, built from "C" type profiles, cold-formed, from corrugated sheet. One of the particularities of metal-framed houses is that the building's structural resistance contains the roof part.
The compressive or tensile strength of the material used is 14x greater than that of wood. The metal frame is attached to the foundation using chemical anchors, usually repetitions at one-meter intervals - or according to the resistance project if it differs.
Assembling a metal structure on a 100 sqm construction site is done in a record time of 2 - 4 working days, because the panels are easy to handle and very rarely special lifting equipment is required.
