Wooden construction has been the dominant construction for a long time and is basically the preferred construction type for all types of buildings. And now after steel has become the main material for construction, it is used in a wide range of industries due to its outstanding performance. Until now, more and more homeowners have been forced to choose steel framed buildings because of the outstanding building properties of steel.

What are the benefits of metal buildings?

Modern steel-framed structuresare far superior in every respect to wooden buildings as well as concrete buildings.

The following are the advantages of the steel frame structure that we offer.

1. Material advantages of steel frame structures

Steel, as an extremely stable type of material, will not reduce the strength of the overall structure due to pests, wet conditions, soil, growing conditions and climate over a long period of time. Steel has been the material of choice for commercial buildings since 1860 and its known strength and safety allows for purposeful maintenance at a later stage. There is no need for guesswork.

2. Sturdy metal building performance

The strength of steel is well established. Its structural properties are known and proven. And steel has a higher specific strength, which means that a pre-engineered steel building produces a stronger, more durable structure with less material and labour than a concrete or timber building.

3. Low purchase cost

Price is one of the biggest advantages of metal buildings and it is because of this that they have such a high market share. Commercial and industrial builders in particular are well aware of these attractive building prices.

4. Low maintenance costs

Because of its non-combustible nature and strong safety features, steel is readily covered by many insurance companies, which offer substantial discounts.

The walls and roof are laminated and the exterior is cold coated to reduce heat generation in hotter climates. Both the insulation sandwich and the reflective panel treatment effectively reduce the energy use of the whole building. Statistically, energy savings of up to around 55% can be achieved.

And most importantly, this type of building is basically maintenance free.

5、High strength to weight ratio

According to statistics, steel has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any building material. This means that steel structures can maintain a high strength without the need to increase the weight of the steel. Using its greater flexibility, and with the help of our state-of-the-art steel construction software that optimises the use of steel strength, each column, rafter, beam or purlin supports a precise and known load. This effectively eliminates material waste.

6. Compliance with building regulations

We also file metal buildings differently for each country’s different building codes, in order to customise steel buildings to meet the customer’s local policy requirements. Also due to the simplicity of the steel building structure, it is easy to understand and comprehend the steel building kit, so its approval process will be easy.

7. More flexibility

Imagine if you needed to expand your floor area. Conventional building types may require a variety of dismantling or rebuilding to meet the needs of later ongoing development. With metal buildings in the form of load-bearing columns, it is convenient and easy to expand later by simply adding load-bearing columns. Come and stock up for your expanding business needs.

Conclusion

Metal buildings are economical, environmentally friendly, cost effective and scalable, which is why they have come to dominate the building landscape.
