Non-loadbearing light steel framing walls under fire
Description
The light steel frame (LSF) construction technology started to be widely used in different types of buildings, replacing the traditional construction methods due to its light weight characteristics. Steel is 100% recycled, dimensional stable, and ease of installation. LSF and prefabricated panels are widely used in non-load-bearing walls. The LSF walls are usually made with studs and tracks, that require fire protection, normally achieved by a single plasterboard, by composite plates, or by insulation of the cavity.
