Analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of light steel villa: why some people regret?


Light steel villa, this winter brings you a different kind of warmth!


Light steel villa, this new environmentally friendly house building system, in recent years has attracted much attention. 

However, the market from time to time came “built light steel villa regret” remarks, and even some people claim that “light steel villa a hit on the rotten”. 

Are these statements true or false? Let's unveil the mystery of light steel villa and explore the truth.


The remarks of “build light steel villa regret”, in fact, mostly originated from people's lack of understanding of light steel villa. 

They may think that light steel villa lacks in safety and solidity, so they have misunderstanding. 

However, as a new type of environmentally friendly building system, the advantages of light steel villa should not be ignored. 

Next, we will start from the advantages and disadvantages of light steel villa and analyze them for you in depth. 



First of all, let's look at several significant advantages of light steel villa.


1、Built houses are not bound by geographic location

(1) When building traditional houses on complex terrains such as deserts and mountains, it is often necessary to reinforce the foundation or take other special measures to ensure safety.

(2) The lightweight steel villa has no such need, no matter what kind of terrain, it can easily cope with, not subject to geographic location restrictions.


2、Efficient use of overall space

(1) The traditional structure of the house, due to the use of large volume of materials, 

built after the main body of the structure will occupy a part of the interior space, resulting in a relatively small area can be utilized, 

which in turn affects the utilization rate of the overall space of the interior of the rural self-built houses.

(2) The light steel villa is different, its structural components of small size, the construction of the wall is also thinner, 

this design advantage to a certain extent to enhance the overall utilization of the interior space of the house.


3、Satisfy personalized living needs

(1) Traditional structural houses are often subject to many limitations in internal design, while light steel structure houses provide high design flexibility, 

which can better meet the personalized needs of the occupants.

(2) Light steel villa is not only very different from traditional houses in the construction process, 

but also its appearance is very distinctive and of great artistic ornamental value.



4、Excellent wind and seismic capacity

The light steel villa adopts plate rib structure system, which can effectively disperse the local load of the house and significantly reduce the local load, 

thus giving the light steel villa excellent anti-seismic and wind-resistant performance. 

This structural characteristics to a large extent to protect the life and property safety of the occupants.



5、Convenient construction process, fast construction period and long-lasting service life

With its lightweight materials and unique construction method, lightweight steel villa makes transportation and construction easy and simple. 

Usually, a house of about 200 square meters can be completed in less than two months with only a few skilled workers, 

which greatly shortens the construction period and allows the occupants to move in more quickly. 

In addition, if a light steel structure house is properly maintained, its service life can even be as long as a hundred years.


6、Environmentally friendly materials and sustainability

Most of the materials used in light steel villa are renewable resources, which are capable of natural degradation and friendly to the environment. 

During the construction process, it realizes the green construction without dust and noise, which ensures the comfort and safety of the occupants. 

In addition, most of these materials can be recycled and reused, and the recycling rate of building materials is up to 80% or more, reflecting the effective use of resources. 


At the same time, the steel structure components used in the light steel villa are customized and finished with anti-corrosion treatment, further enhancing their durability. 

During the construction period, fireproof coating is also applied to the surface layer of the components, 

giving the light steel villa good fireproof performance and ensuring the safety of the occupants' lives and properties.


7. Shortcomings of lightweight steel villas:

Although lightweight steel villas have many environmental and sustainability advantages, there are also some potential shortcomings. 

For example, the structural stability of lightweight steel villas may be challenged in certain extreme climatic conditions due to their construction process and material properties. 

In addition, for those who pursue unique architectural styles and appearances, lightweight steel villas may not be able to meet their individual needs. 

However, with the continuous progress of technology and design innovation, these problems are gradually being overcome and improved.


8、Structural adjustment is limited

After the construction of light steel villa is completed, its structural adjustment is strictly limited. 

In order to ensure the safety of living, any bolt components shall not be privately disassembled. 

This is because there is a significant difference between the light steel villa and the traditional structure of the house, 

and its overall structure is highly dependent on the precise construction of each steel component. 

Private changes to the steel structure may lead to structural instability, thus threatening the safety of living.



9、Relatively high cost

The cost of light steel villa is higher than that of the traditional structure, and the cost per square meter is about 1500 to 2500 yuan. 

This price difference is mainly due to the high standard of light steel villa in material selection, process requirements and construction accuracy.


10、The height of the building is limited

Due to the characteristics of light steel structure, light steel villa is usually suitable for the construction of low-rise buildings, the height of which is generally not more than four floors. 

If you need to build a higher building, you need to take special design and processing measures.


11、About the light steel villa, a hit on the rotten saying

This is mainly because people lack of understanding of its structure and material performance. 

In fact, its unique plate rib system gives it excellent seismic and wind resistance, far from being so fragile as to be rotten in one hit.


2, light steel villa is built with steel components, and the robustness of steel is well known.

Under the premise of following the design specification and not altering the structure without authorization, the structural solidity and safety of light steel villa is trustworthy.

To sum up, in reality, circulating “build light steel villa regret”, “light steel villa a hit on the rotten” and other comments, often from the light steel villa houses do not understand. 

Under the premise of following the design specification and not changing the structure without authorization, the structural solidity and safety of light steel villa are fully guaranteed. 


At present, there has not been any case of regret or rotting once hit due to the structural problems of light steel villa. I hope this article can provide useful reference for you.
