Metal Buildings: Strong, Safe, Sustainable, Smart
It is no wonder that pre-engineered steel buildings lead commercial and industrial construction today. These modern metal marvels create the most enduring, practical, eco-friendly, affordable structures ever seen in low-rise construction. Learn the benefits of steel buildings for your next construction project.
Steel Buildings are Stronger
- Steel boasts the highest-strength-to-weight ratio of any building material. Fewer pieces create a stronger, more economical structure.
- Steel’s great strength allows for larger unobstructed spans not possible with other building materials.
- Consistent in quality and strength, steel framing avoids the grade variations and irregularities of lumber.
- Unlike wood, steel is impervious to changing humidity levels. Metal buildings will not crack, creep, shift, split, or warp like lumber.
Steel Buildings are Safer
- Durable steel buildings withstand hefty winds, heavy snows, and even earthquakes better than other building systems.
- Non-combustible steel framing never acts as the ignition point for a structural fire, nor does it add fuel to a fire.
- As an inorganic material, steel never molds or mildews.
- Steel never outgasses like other building materials, improving indoor air quality.
- Steel is 100% recyclable, making it the greenest building choice.
- No matter how many times steel is recycled, it never loses any of its strength.
- The deeper wall cavities of rigid-frame metal buildings make room for thicker, more energy-efficient insulation, slashing heating and cooling costs by 50%.
- Thicker insulation also cuts outside noise, for a quieter environment.
Steel Buildings are Smarter
- Steel’s prefabrication cuts construction time by 33% or more.
- Metal buildings require very little maintenance.
- The fire-resistant features of commercial-grade steel earn lower premiums with most insurance carriers.
- Versatile steel building systems create stand-alone structures— or add-ons— to existing structures.
- Easy to install, factory-made steel building kits arrive at the job site ready to bolt together.
- Framing pieces prefabricated at the factory require no cutting or welding at the building site.
- Steel never attracts termites or vermin, so metal buildings do not need costly chemical termite treatments.
- The beauty and value of a metal building lasts for decades longer than other types of structures.
