What are the advantages of using light steel frame in constructing houses
Wood is a natural resource that used to be used in abundance for the construction of Houses. However, with the diminishing supply of wood owing to depletion of wood reserves, alternate materials are being looked into for the construction of houses. Over the past decade overall lumber prices have both increased and become more volatile. Surprisingly two of the most admired modern houses are made of steel. One by Philip Johnson known as Glass House and the second by Meis van der Rohe known as Farnsworth House. In spite of these excellent landmarks built in the first half of the 19th century, we are just now on the threshold of steel construction for house design.
