Light metal structures (LMS) and light thin-walled steel structures (LSTS) differ mainly in the materials used and the areas of application.
LMS is made from thicker metal and is used to create load-bearing parts in large buildings such as industrial and warehouse buildings. In contrast, LSTS consist of thin metal profiles, which makes these structures lightweight and quick to assemble, ideal for the construction of low-rise buildings and frame houses. Such structures are easier to transport and assemble, as their parts are lighter in weight and easier to handle.
LSTS are also often used in energy-saving buildings, since thermal insulation materials can be placed inside the frame.
