Steel is the absolute best building material there is to
build your new home. unlike wood that comes in irregular sizes, warped,
split, cracked, and twisting. Often when purchasing wood building products the
wood already has mold growth and termite infestation. Wood as an organic
material and is in a state of deterioration from the time it was cut from the
tree. As a piece of wood in the forest the wood will decompose naturally
disintegrating to dirt relatively quickly. This process is much slower with
wood installed in your home but does not stop
Steel has mineral properties and is the exact. As a truly
dement ional product steel is produced to exact specifications. Steel does
not decompose, rot, or mold. For generations, we have relied on the strength of
steel in commercial buildings, hospitals,
and in our schools. Now you can get the superior quality and safety of steel in
your home at a price you can afford.
A steel frame is stronger than wood.
Steel framing is significantly stronger than wood. In Fact, it has the highest
strength-to-weight ratio of any building materials. So you know your home is
more solid with steel. Our steel framed homes are rot-proof, termite-proof,
vermin-proof, carpenter ant-proof, warp-proof, split-proof, creep-proof,
creak-proof, crack-proof, non-toxic, and not fuel for fires.
Your steel frame home is safer in earthquakes.
Unlike wood framed homes, a steel framed
home can be engineered for the highest seismic rating available for residential
construction. Steel's strength and resiliency are part of the reason, plus
the way a steel frame is constructed and fastened to the foundation.
Steel is unaffected by changes in the weather.
Individual members of a wood-framed home react differently and in varying
degrees to climatic changes. The wood movement
(expansion, contraction, warping, twisting, cracking, splitting, etc.) is
noticeable as bulges in the wall, wallboard blemishes, sagging and squeaking
floors, and wavy ceilings and roofs.
Steel doesn't fuel fire.
steel framing won't burn and add fuel to a fire. in some areas, most steel
framed homes qualify for reduced Homeowner and builders risk insurance rates.
Steel is environmentally friendly ( green homes).
Steel is 100% recyclable, and is the most commonly recycled material in the USA.
more steel is recycled every year than aluminum, glass and plastic combined.
Over 67% of the steel used today is from recycled materials Steel is recognized
as the environmentally responsible method in our building industry.
