Steel Buildings

Steel Buildings Features

Steel provides a number of great benefits to the consumer including:

• High strength steel results in stronger and safer structures. There can be less maintenance and slower aging of the structure.
• Fire safety as steel does not burn like wood structures can.
• No additional preservative chemicals are required over and above the galvanizing process to treat steel vs the typical chemical treatment of wood.
• Not vulnerable to termites and wood decay as it is not permeable to any type of fungi or organisms.
• Less chance of foundation problems - 5 times lighter than wood which results in less movement of the supports and structure.
• Less probability of damage in an earthquake and high winds. Stronger connections, rivetted and screwed versus nailed like wood.
