Why Steel Framed Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings Are The Right Choice
Why Steel?
Compared with other construction types (wood framing, masonry, concrete), steel buildings lead the way in both upfront and long-term cost savings. The speed of construction, durability and low maintenance nature of steel, as well as energy efficiency and insurance savings all make steel buildings the obvious choice — and contribute to a low total cost of ownership.
Low Maintenance
Maintenance costs are less because steel buildings are resistant to the elements that contribute to the typical deterioration of traditional building materials.
Energy Efficient
When steel buildings are constructed and insulated properly there are fewer places for heat and cold to escape. This saves money on energy costs and creates a more comfortable building envelope.
Durable
Steel buildings stand up to years of exposure to the elements and constant use. They do not settle over time and are able to withstand the harshest of weather conditions.
Pest Resistant
Steel buildings are designed to minimize gaps and cracks in order to prevent infestations of vermin and insects. Because of the inorganic nature of steel, metal buildings do not provide a food source or hospitable living environment for termites or other insects.
Fire Resistant
Steel buildings are considered non-combustible by the International Building Code.
Less Expensive to Insure
Steel buildings are often less expensive to insure because of their superior strength, durability, and pest/fire resistance.
