Corus Advocates The Right Choice, Not The Light Choice!

Designers and contractors need to be aware of the high risks and potentially catastrophic consequences of using lighter gauge steel liner profiles in site-assembled building envelope systems.

The drive to cut costs is increasingly leading to the selection of liner profiles made from inferior materials that do not meet non-fragility standards and could even lead to a loss of life, if used as a working platform during construction.

To encourage correct specification and procurement practice and promote site safety, Corus Panels and Profiles has just published an article entitled “Make the right choice, not the light choice”.

Corus has published a new technical paper regarding the importance of  the effect of gauge on pre-finished steel roof and wall cladding performance. The paper takes an in depth look at the implications that using a lower gauge will have on the building envelope and how to clearly specify gauge.
