ADVANTAGES OF STEEL FRAME CONSTRUCTION

Steel is stronger
For years the superstructures of skyscrapers, bridges and high-rise office buildings have been built with steel because of its strength, durability and versatility. Dimensionally stable steel studs do not warp, twist, split, expand or contract. Because steel does not shrink or swell with time or humidity changes, steel framing has the precision and strength to build tall straight walls and have large open areas.

Steel provides a better fit for doors and windows. Therefore, steel framing results in less air loss around windows and doors as well as foundation and roofing connections. Also, homes constructed with steel frames have proven to be less vulnerable in earthquakes and hurricane force winds.

Steel requires no preservatives
Steel framed homes provide health benefits to the homeowner and the community because they do not require pesticides or other toxic substances to protect them from rot, termites or vermin. Steel is impervious to termites and other wood destroying insects.

Invest in the strength of steel
Investing in a steel home helps you avoid all the potential pitfalls of lumber construction. The strength and durability of steel gives you long-term piece of mind.
