GESTEDI, LDA. 2014

Our methodology
We are guided by efficiency and commitment in the pursuit of our goals. 

Security
One of the first questions normally posed to light gauge steel framing builders and contractors is related to security. The weight of bricks and concrete compared ro light steel is obvious and that fact may give rise to doubts regarding the resistance os our homes.>>

It is therefore necessary to explain that steel and its screwing systems totally guarantee the stability of the building, which, in fact, is similar to the security of cement and brick buildings, with some advantages added.>>


If the resistance of a traditional building is due to the use of iron inside the cement resulting in pillars and studs, our homes don’t have three, four, or five pillars; instead, they have dozens of pillars embodied in the steel profiles separated by 60 centimetres or even less. We have tons of steel and thousands of screws, allowing for the steel structure to distribute all loads and work as a birdcage ensuring exceptional anti-seismic properties to the building.>>

Comfort, thermal and acoustic isolation
Gestedi´s homes offer you a balanced internal temperature all year round, providing maximum comfort to its inhabitants.>>

The materials used should work as a shield against temperature variations, minimizing thermal bridges. The isolation keeps the internal temperature regardless of external weather conditions and enabling the building to bread freely.>>


Gestedi’s homes are completely isolated from the exterior with gypsum, rock wool, OSB, expanded polystyrene, polymeric nets and vapour barriers.

The rock wool and the polystyrene will confer acoustic and exquisite thermal properties to the building.>>


Compare the differences between the conventional construction materials and Light Steel Framing materials in order to achieve the same levels of isolation and confirm that, to reach the same properties in a traditional construction, we would have to choose substantially more expensive solutions:>>


Time and money

Besides offering an unbeatable execution time, the maintenance of Gestedi’s homes couldn’t be easier. The careful planning of the building eliminates infiltrations, fungus and wall cracks, transforming the repairing of pipes or electricity into an easy job. >>


Budget accuracy

Gestedi first concern is to keep on budget. Therefore, it dedicates a special attention to the budgeting process and relies on specific software programmes totally devoted to Light Steel Framing which allow us to assess rigorously the cost os the job. Our team of light steel engineers and technicians provide confidence in the drawing and execution of the buildings.

The sucess of our construction methodology allows for a gradual competitive advantage, respeting the client from the moment the agreement is signed to the delivery of your new home.

Architectural solutions
The Light Steel Framing constructions do not have any restrictions concerning architecture or materials.
