As populations rise and urban spaces become more crowded, the need for durable yet safe housing increases. Steel structure constructions address this need by offering strength, durability and inherent fire resistance. As a leader in metal solutions, Lida Group focuses on designing and building fireproof steel living spaces.

Founded in 1993, Lida Group initially provided solutions for logistics and industry. Seeing the potential of metal structures as affordable housing in 2010, the company shifted focus to designing and building living constructions out of steel.

Since then, Lida Group has constructed a wide range of single-family steel homes, duplexes, triplexes and multi-story complexes across China and over 40 countries. Their expertise lies in transforming standard steel components into functional yet stylish living spaces.

Lida Group utilizes several strategies to make their steel constructions fireproof and safe for long-term living:

Inherent Fire Resistance – Steel has a higher melting point and is non-combustible, providing inherent fire resistance. It preserves structural integrity when exposed to high temperatures for extended durations.

Fireproof Insulation – Lida Group uses fire resistant insulation materials like mineral wool and expanded vermiculite for openings in steel frames. These can withstand temperatures over 1000 degrees Celsius.

Fireproof Systems – All electrical, plumbing and HVAC systems installed by Lida Group meet strict fire safety standards. Flame resistant cables, pipes, ducts and sealants are used.

Automatic Sprinklers – For projects requiring higher levels of fire protection, Lida Group integrates automatic sprinkler systems that activate once a fire is detected.

Fireproof Coatings – Lida Group applies specialized fireproof paints and coatings to internal steel members and surfaces. These intumescent coatings expand when heated to provide further protection against fire.

Compartmentalization – Multi-unit steel structures designed by Lida Group incorporate compartmentalization through fire-rated doors, walls and floors. This contains fires within limited areas.

Emergency Escapes – Lida Group ensures that steel constructions include multiple fire exits,proper staircases and emergency escapes to facilitate safe evacuation in case of fires.

These strategies have enabled Lida Group to construct some of the safest and most fireproof steel living constructions in the world. Their clients enjoy durable structures that offer higher levels of protection against fire hazards.

Lida Group hopes that through fireproof yet sustainable metal solutions, they can demonstrate how affordable housing need not compromise on safety. The company envisions a future where strength, durability, fire safety and sustainability converge to define next-generation constructions.

With metal-based constructions acting as test beds, Lida Group aims to develop new technologies and practices that promote fire-safe and sustainable habitats for communities.
