Introduction
In the world of construction, innovation has always played a pivotal role in shaping the way we build. The introduction of Light Gauge Steel Frames (LGSF) is a testament to this trend. LGSF structures offer an array of advantages in terms of speed, efficiency, and sustainability, which is why many in the commercial sector have embraced this method with open arms. Now, this groundbreaking construction technique is finding its way into the residential market, redefining the way we think about home extensions.
In this blog, we’ll explore how LGSF is revolutionizing the construction industry, with a special focus on its residential applications. We’ll delve into the advantages it brings, particularly in terms of speed, thermal efficiency, and eco-friendly facades.
Speed and Efficiency
Traditional construction methods often involve long timelines and complex processes. LGSF, on the other hand, offers a much quicker and more efficient way to build. This is particularly beneficial for residential extensions, where homeowners want to minimize disruption to their daily lives.
LGSF structures are prefabricated, meaning that many components are manufactured in a controlled environment, and then assembled on-site. This significantly reduces construction time and ensures a high level of precision in the building process. DB-Space focus on modular extensions with LGSF is, therefore, a game-changer for homeowners looking to expand their living space without the hassle of extensive construction.
Thermal Efficiency and Passive House Standards
Today, energy efficiency is a top priority in construction, and LGSF excels in this area. These steel frames create highly airtight buildings, which are essential for achieving Passive House standards. Passive House is a rigorous energy efficiency standard that ensures a building is both comfortable and sustainable, with minimal energy consumption.
By offering residential extensions that meet Passive House standards, your company is contributing to a greener and more sustainable future. Homeowners can enjoy increased comfort and reduced energy bills, making LGSF-based extensions not just a practical choice but an environmentally responsible one.
Eco-Friendly Facades
Eco-friendly construction is on the rise, and your use of composite or brick slip facades aligns perfectly with this trend. These facades offer the aesthetic appeal of traditional building materials like bricks while incorporating the benefits of eco-friendly materials.
Composite facades often use recycled or sustainable materials, reducing the environmental impact of construction. This approach not only makes your projects more eco-friendly but also allows homeowners to make a statement with their home’s exterior.
Conclusion
The rise of Light Gauge Steel Frames in the residential market is a welcome change that benefits homeowners and the environment. DB-Space’s focus on modular extensions with LGSF, coupled with thermal efficiency and eco-friendly facades, is making a strong case for the adoption of this method. As more homeowners experience the speed, sustainability, and aesthetic appeal of LGSF-based extensions, it’s safe to say that this innovation will continue to grow in popularity, reshaping the residential construction landscape.
The future of home extensions has arrived, and it’s built with light gauge steel frames – a smart, sustainable, and efficient choice that’s here to stay.

Here`s a glimpse into how we check ground suitability for your modular extension.
Screws are installed into multiple areas of the build and then pulled out using a rig that provides a fail reading.
This reading is then halved to give a safe working load per screw.
We then use these readings to instruct a structural engineer to provide supporting calculations stipulating the size and location of each screw, ensuring that the foundation is sufficient for the building.

We had an amazing experience at the Harrogate Homebuilding & Renovation Show! The level of interest at our stand was truly overwhelming, and we are so grateful to everyone who stopped by to share their project ideas with us. Each conversation was fascinating, and we’re thrilled to begin exploring these opportunities.
Over the next week, we’ll be reaching out to everyone who left their contact details to continue the discussions.
A big thank you to the @hbr_show team for organising such a well-executed and lively event.
From all of us at @dbspace_garden_rooms, and of course, Neil from @farnorthstudioarchitecture—thank you once again!

It`s not just what`s on the outside that counts. We pay as much attention to detail behind the finishing materials. We believe that every element of the build needs to be secured properly, following specifications and maintaining high quality. Here, you can see our choice of Grade A Swedish timber battens and, of course, the steel core of our rooms and decks.
We`re building rooms designed to last over 20 years, and with our 50-year warranty on the steel frame, that`s confidence.
