Highest strength - to - weight ratio of any building material
Steel possesses the highest strength to weight ration of any building material being utilized today.
It remains one of the strongest, most durable and economically manufactured materials.
No wonder 80% of all commercial buildings are constructed with steel as the primary structure.
Stronger, straighter, non-combustible, longer lasting and many other characteristics contribute to the undeniable superiority of steel as a building material.
Non-combustible - and will not contribute fuel to a fire...
With gypsum interior finish material supported on a steel frame you have a combination of
non-combustible products and the likelihood of a fire being further fuelled is nearly eliminated"
Inorganic – steel will not warp, rot, split, crack or creep...
Consistent material quality - Dimensionally stable - does not expand or contract
100% recyclable - Steel is the most recycled material on planet!
You can frame a typical home with 6 recycled cars... or take down 40-50 trees!
Less waste - 2% in steel verses 20% in wood construction
Reliability - Square corners stay squared; windows and doors open & close as they should.
Lightweight - Steel is 60% of the weight of wood framing... making it easier to handle.
Termite Proof - Not vulnerable to termites
Benefits to the Builder
Straight walls
Square corners
Windows and doors function properly
Less scrap and waste (2% for steel vs. 20% for lumber)
Lighter than other framing materials
Environmental selling and green positioning
Benefits to the Homeowner
Not vulnerable to termites
High strength results in safer structures, less maintenance and slower aging of structure
Fire safety increased with substantially less combustible material
Not vulnerable to any type of fungi or organism
Reduced probability of foundation problems - less weight results in less movement
Reduced probability of damage in high winds - stronger connections with screws versus nails
Reduced probability of damage in an earthquake - lighter structure with stronger connections results in less seismic force
