Lightweight Building Solutions
Advantages:
- Speed of construction: A steel-framed
building can be completed in about one-half to two-third
the time of a conventional brick and mortar building.
- Lightweight: Steel framing weighs substantially
less when compared to traditional building materials like
masonry and concrete systems (Up to 50% Lighter than wood
and 90% lighter than concrete). Steel framing lightens structures,
reducing foundation requirements and often reducing or eliminating
piling.
- Reduced field labor: Can be pre-finished
in the factory.
- Year round production capability: Assembly
can be done in a controlled environment then transported
to the construction site for installation.
- Energy Saving: the design flexibility
of steel frame buildings enables any architects to utilize
energy-efficient housing features.
- Range of exterior finishing options:
Steel can adapt to almost any application and works well
independently or in combination with other structural systems.
- Design flexibility: Once completed, steel
frame buildings can look just like traditional-build structures.
Modifying any existing structure is relatively simple.
- Strength: Steel has one of the highest
strength-to-weight ratios of any building material. The
system accommodates the most stringent structural codes
and requirements.
- LEED certified: Cold formed steel is
classified as a green product based on its virtually 100%
Recycled content.
- 100 % Non-combustible
- Can be engineered for seismic conditions
- Efficiency: Pre-punched holes Eliminate
drilling for electrical and plumbing lines. Also, Special
Order cut- to-length material eliminates field cutting and
waste.
