Further information
LGST are framing components used to support internal non-load-bearing building walls and partitions. A LGST is a cold-formed product, further worked from either zinc coated (galvanised) steel or aluminium zinc coated steel as the raw material (including all variants thereof, for example whether or not containing magnesium or other alloys). LGST comprise both the vertical (stud) and horizontal (track) components.
Steel framing components are categorised by gauge (thickness) and usage, being either:
- LGST, as non-structural light gauge products (common in ‘drywall’ applications); or
- structural (medium and heavy gauge) steel framing members (common in high-rise buildings and exterior walling).
This application covers LGST, of varying steel grades, and whether or not including service holes.
Exclusions
Medium and heavy gauge steel stud and track, noggings, and ‘flexible’ track components are excluded from this application
