At the beginning of the twentieth century, buildings from LMK (light metal structures) were popular in North America). Pluses that are immediately striking, you can call an attractive price and quality, simplicity and speed of installation.
All buildings from light metal structures are durable, reliable and quickly built. This technology is currently gaining more and more popularity, all due to the fact that new developments are not standing still and constantly improve.
The buildings are being built from LMK, for example, warehouses, prefabricated hangars, workshops, shopping and exhibition complexes, cultural and sports facilities and other similar buildings. And another plus, and it is quite significant, that the building will soon pay off.
The main reason for the prevalence of buildings from light metal structures is that they “do not pay attention” to climatic conditions and can be erected both in the north and in the south.
For such buildings, you need a simple foundation, since the weight itself is much less than a brick or wooden house. Well, the choice of the foundation already depends on the ground.
The frame of the building consists of details such as beams, columns, spacers, jumpers, farms and other parts.
House farm and all supporting elements are interconnected using bolt compounds.
These designs allow you to build buildings for a specific profile, for example, it is most profitable for the warehouse to build a rectangular room, and it is more profitable to use curved beams and column for the hangar (that is, those designs that form spherical surfaces).
The span of light structures is about a hundred meters, which means that inside you can freely mark large -scale equipment and any mechanisms.
The processing and adjustment of the frame elements is carried out only in industrial conditions, in special factories that specialize in such a field. On the construction site, only the assembly of parts is carried out. Often they make up typical projects, and the assembly is carried out precisely on them, and this, of course, simplifies all the work. Because of this, the construction of the building takes a minimum amount of time, and companies engaged in such work offer the customer original and unique projects.
The casing of the building is required to do in one of two ways: resorting to the help of sandwich panels and by gradual installation of layers of the entire sheathing. These panels have thermal insulation properties and, fortunately, do not need additional decoration (due to which the construction time is also reduced).
You can not use special construction equipment and workers for phased decoration of layers, but then you will have to suffer a little and complete the work a little later. The assembly layer, as a rule, consists of internal casing (it can be anything: a professional, drywall and similar materials), insulation, external casing (consists of siding or a hinged facade). Mineral wool slabs or polystyrene foam are used as a heater.
If you need additional thermal insulation, then the thermalophyle will help you, if it is used as a supporting structure. It is considered a special type of cold metal rolling, which gives the air to circulate between all the insulation plates.
The entire frame is a supporting, which means that an additional floors or levels can be built indoors. Beams can be used as a support of the ceilings, but the floors themselves can be reinforced concrete slabs, profiled sheets or even monolithic areas (in this case, there are practically no restrictions and precautions).
