ADVANTAGES OF LIGHT STEEL STRUCTURES
Be a Part of the Growing Global Light Steel Structure Market
Light steel typically refers to cold-formed steel products used in structural, non-structural, and finishing applications in construction. The reasons for choosing light steel over other construction materials are numerous, making it suitable for a variety of applications.
Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Light steel offers an impressive strength-to-weight ratio, making it a robust yet lightweight material suitable for various structural applications.
Durability: Steel is resistant to many common issues that affect other building materials. It does not rot, warp, or get infested by pests like termites. With proper protective coatings, it can also resist rust and corrosion.
Construction Speed: Light steel components can be pre-manufactured off-site, allowing for quick assembly on-site. This not only accelerates project completion but also ensures precision and reduces labor costs.
Design Flexibility: The malleability of steel allows for a wide range of architectural designs. Whether it involves intricate detailing or large open spaces, light steel can accommodate various architectural visions.
Sustainability: Steel is 100% recyclable, making it an environmentally friendly choice. When a building is demolished, steel components can be reused or recycled, reducing environmental impact.
Consistency and Predictability: Steel production is highly controlled, ensuring that the structural properties of light steel are consistent. This predictability is critical for the safety and reliability of steel structures.
Fire Resistance: Steel is non-combustible, making structures more resistant to fire. When combined with fire-resistant materials, light steel structures can achieve significant fire resistance ratings.
Seismic Performance: Light steel structures have demonstrated excellent performance during seismic events. Their flexibility and strength make them resilient to earthquakes, especially when designed with seismic considerations.
Thermal Efficiency: When combined with proper insulation, light steel framing can provide excellent thermal performance, leading to energy savings.
Cost Efficiency: The speed of construction, reduced labor costs, and minimal waste associated with light steel can lead to cost savings. Additionally, its durability reduces maintenance costs over the lifespan of the structure.
Dimensional Stability: Steel does not expand or contract with changes in moisture content, ensuring that the structure remains stable over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most common issues customers experience after purchasing the product?
Our machine is user-friendly, but an operator without sufficient experience or training may find it difficult to set up the machine properly. Therefore, the initial training we provide at our facility plays a crucial role in ensuring the longevity of the machine and error-free production for the buyer's operator.What is your company’s maximum commitment time for initiating the resolution of an issue?
When you become a part of the UNBAK Family, a WhatsApp group is created as a priority to quickly manage our after-sales services. Issues such as production errors and operator questions are addressed within the first 5-15 minutes. In the second phase, we remotely connect to the machine and inspect it through the software, fixing any issues that can be corrected immediately. In the third phase, we conduct a video call via WhatsApp for problem identification and resolution. If a spare part replacement is deemed necessary during this phase, it will be shipped from our stock to your location, no matter where you are in the world. If the problem cannot be resolved in the third phase or requires faster intervention, a visit to your workplace is planned and carried out.In an emergency, our technician team will visit your factory to resolve the issue on-site.We prefer to train your operator at our facility before the delivery of your machine. Typically, we invite the customer’s operator to our facility just before the machine's delivery.Can a specific production sequence be programmed for home assemblies (walls, beams, and trusses)?
The sequence of operations can be arranged through VertexBD, Revit-Strucsoft, and Framebuilder MDR programs.Is there software that stops the machine when each wall/beam/truss package is completed?
Yes, there is. The machine will stop and give a warning 10 meters before the project cycle is completed.Does your company offer or know of third parties that can take our home design and production guidelines to create the frame machine file? This is likely a service we will consider.
Our software partners are VertexBD, Revit-Strucsoft, and Framebuilder MDR. Training on design software is provided by us to a person designated by the machine owner.
