What are the Advantages of Steel?

Our customers prefer steel construction for many of the following reasons:

• Steel is one of the strongest building materials available, many times stronger than wood. This allows steel to span much longer distances than wood.
• Steel buildings have a better track record in withstanding natural disasters like earthquakes, tornadoes and hurricanes.
• Steel is non-flammable. It will contain a fire and keep it from spreading.
• Steel is safe from termites, rot, mold and drying out. Steel does not shrink, warp or swell.
• Most insurance companies label steel framing as “Superior Construction” and offer discounts on insurance. You may want to check with your insurance provider.
• Steel buildings appraise higher and hold their value longer than standard construction.
• Because steel is a manufactured commodity, product quality is assured. Steel has no knots, twists, splits or other defects.
• Steel buildings are made from recycled material, and are environmentally friendly.

Steel Building Construction for Agriculture Use

Steel buildings are ideal for:

• Modern commercial egg laying facilities, both for poultry houses and egg processing rooms.
• Computer and office buildings in Feed Mills.
• Horse Arenas and Horse Barns.
