Two-Story & Three-Story Light Steel Structure Villas for Export | ESS Prefab Home

The light steel structure villa (LGS villa) is our core export product for private residences, holiday homes and resort projects. The entire structural system is roll-formed from galvanized steel coils in our own factory, giving you millimeter-level precision, termite-proof durability and a 50-year design life — at a fraction of the weight of concrete construction.

Structural System and Materials

• Frame: 0.75–1.0 mm AZ150 hot-dip galvanized steel studs, C-section and U-track system, roll-formed to ±0.5 mm tolerance.
• Connection: Self-drilling screws and pre-punched service holes — no welding on site, no corrosion risk points.
• Wall system: OSB or fiber-cement sheathing exterior, 75–100 mm glass wool insulation, vapor barrier, interior gypsum board.
• Floor system: Galvanized steel joists with 18 mm structural plywood or cement board decking.
• Roof system: Light steel trusses with asphalt shingle, stone-coated steel tile or standing-seam metal roofing.

Standard Configurations

All models can be re-planned to your own layout. Structural calculations are re-run for your country's wind speed, snow load and seismic requirements at no extra cost.

Key Advantages for Overseas Buyers

• Fast build: watertight in 4–5 weeks; total move-in time 90–120 days including shipping.
• Engineered safety: frames are designed per your local codes (wind up to 220 km/h, seismic up to intensity 9).
• Energy efficient: insulated wall and roof systems cut cooling/heating costs by up to 40% vs. block construction.
• Termite and mold proof: inorganic steel structure — no food for pests, no rot.
• Light foundation: total structure weighs roughly 30% of an equivalent concrete house, reducing foundation cost.
• Complete kit: windows, exterior doors, fasteners and insulation included; optional kitchen cabinets, sanitary ware and flooring.

Delivery and Support

• Production time: 25–35 days after drawing approval and deposit.
• Shipping terms: FOB / CIF / DAP from Qingdao or Tianjin port.

• Installation support: numbered panels, 3D assembly drawings, video call guidance; on-site supervisor optional.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum height of a light steel villa?

We regularly build three-story LGS villas (up to ~300 m² total area). With engineered design, four stories are possible; beyond that we recommend a heavy steel or hybrid system.

How long does a light steel villa last?

The galvanized frame has a design life of 50+ years. The AZ150 coating protects the steel even in humid coastal climates; exterior claddings are replaceable and maintainable like any conventional house.

Can I get the villa with kitchen and bathrooms fully fitted?

Yes. We offer optional fit-out packages including kitchen cabinets, sanitary ware, water heaters and flooring, all shipped in the same containers.

What information do you need for a quotation?

Land dimensions, target floor area, number of floors, preferred bedroom count, destination port and your local wind/seismic conditions if known. Drawings and quotation are returned within 48 hours.
