In recent years, the steel structure loft has been highly sought after by everyone, especially the younger generation has higher and higher requirements for indoor space layout. Whether it is residential or some shops, the requirements for indoor space and style are also higher and higher, so more and more people build the steel structure loft indoors. The steel structure loft built by channel steel is fast and can be put into use quickly, and the steel components are processed and manufactured in the factory, which can reduce the construction workload on site.


However, the following points must be paid attention to when installing the steel structure loft:


1. Before making the loft, we need to find several professional loft companies to design the steel structure of the loft.

2. Determine the material of the steel structure of the loft. Some unprofessional loft companies recommend the owner to use square steel. It is not advisable to use square steel (square steel can not be completely rustproof inside and outside, easy to oxidize, and relatively thin in thickness). Channel steel or I-beam steel should be used correctly.

3. The houses with frame structure are hollow bricks. When making attic, channel steel should be used as a beam in the wall. If only a hole is dug in the wall, channel steel will be erected. Hollow brick single stress. It's easy to scratch off.

4. Loft steel channel. The additional dimension of angle steel laying is 610mm * 610mm, which is determined according to 1.22m * 2.44m of joinery board. Otherwise, a lot of boards will be wasted.

5. Channel steel and angle steel must be welded in a plane. When welding under the channel steel, the plate will not be solid when it is placed. It must be leveled after welding.

6. The joint of channel steel and channel steel shall be welded with socket welding method.

7. Antirust is also very important. It is easy for rigid structure to absorb moisture and hard to dissipate moisture (especially the attic above the toilet). It's good to do a change of rust removal before making.


The advantages of using steel structure in steel structure loft are light load, light weight, good load-bearing performance, being able to bear people's walking and home furnishing in the loft; short construction period, less impact on the surrounding environment during construction, and most of the materials are environmental protection materials, recyclable and reusable, which are green environmental protection buildings. If the steel structure loft is maintained, it needs to be laid with boards again, which is very troublesome. Therefore, the steel members of the steel structure loft should be treated with anti-corrosion treatment in advance to improve the anti-corrosion performance of the steel structure loft.
