Pinnacle LGS is a preferred choice for residential and commercial construction: lightweight yet durable steel framing that delivers strength, stability and faster construction.
Key advantages
- Lightweight strength — an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, easier to transport and handle, allowing larger spans and flexible design
- Speed — pre-fabricated, precisely engineered components assemble faster, keeping projects on schedule and budget
- Cost-effectiveness — lower labour cost, less material waste and shorter construction time
- Durability — resistant to pests, rot and extreme weather, so buildings hold their integrity and appearance
- Sustainable — fully recyclable, and lighter to transport, reducing transport energy
- Design flexibility — suits traditional and contemporary architecture across residential, commercial and industrial work
- Precision engineering — advanced design software means components fit together seamlessly, minimising errors on site
- Fire resistance — steel is inherently fire-resistant, which can reduce insurance premiums and help meet stringent codes
Benefits to the builder
- Substantial discounts on builder’s risk insurance
- Lighter than other framing materials, and non-combustible
- Easy material selection — no culling or sorting the pile, and a small punch list
- Saves job-site time through off-site panelisation
- Straight walls and square corners; windows and doors open and close as they should
- Less scrap and waste — around 2% for steel against 20% for lumber
- Price stability; price spikes are extremely rare
Benefits to the homeowner
- Stronger connections — screwed rather than nailed
- Higher strength means safer structures that age more slowly
- Fire safety and lower maintenance
- Not vulnerable to termites, fungi, mould or any organism
- Less weight means less movement, so fewer foundation problems
- Lighter structure with stronger connections means less seismic force, and less probability of damage in earthquakes and high winds
