Steel is the mainstay of major cities across America. The benefits are many which draw builders and contractors to use it as a main source of material in new construction in all industries. Today steel buildings are built with innovations that make them attractive and practical for buildings of various purposes.
When looking at new construction here are the top 5 reasons you should consider Building with steel:
Cost is a major concern in construction of any type. Because of it's own strength, steel is one of the most economical materials today. Less constructive appendages are required which saves time and labor. Some construction steel projects are eligible for energy efficiency tax credits as well.
With steel buildings have less maintenance and last longer, make it more cost effective after construction as well. The paint on steel buildings is durable and can last as long as 40 years. As well, metal roofs have a lower maintenance expense than asphalt or single ply roofs.
With natural resources limited, energy performance and sustainability are important. By using steel there is less construction waste, up to 95% recycled material and is 100 % recyclable itself. Buildings constructed of steel will be coveted with LEED credits as well.
All steel structures won't need replacing as quick as other materials such as concrete, stone or wood structures. Construction using steel that has ENERGY STAR® label reduce energy consumption because they conserve up to 95% of their reflective economic value
Steel comes in a variety of colors, designs, shapes and sizes allowing many options of construction. The finishes, installation options and textures of steel makes it even more flexible than ever before. For existing buildings, steel is a flexible material that is perfect for strengthening areas that have weakened.
Using steel for construction can make a building more valuable on the real estate market as it offers more usable space. With the ease to customize it and builders can create longer spans of space with the rolled beams and lattice or trussed construction that steel offers. This lends to open and unobstructed spaces.
Steel construction stands strong in the face of natural or man-made disasters. It is consistent and predictable through time and can withstand most harsh weather conditions. All steel buildings are fire and insect resistant, mold-proof and noncombustible. An all steel building won't shrink or warp and can be treated so that it doesn't rust.
