All Steel Structures

There are many reasons why steel framing represents a superior building material and has quickly become a smart and feasible alternative to wood frame construction. The unparalleled strength and durability of steel framing produces a strong, long lasting, maintenance-free structure - offering greater dimensional stability than wood and resistance to warping, fire, termites, mold/mildew and general deterioration from weathering. Consider these additional advantages:

Cost Effective

  • Price stability - Little fluctuation in price.

  • Virtually no waste - Pre-engineered and cut frame components.

  • Reduced labor time and associated costs

  • Steel framing may lower insurance premium

Easy to Install

  • Patented “Slip Fit” frame connections and Erector-Set like construction.

  • Pre-engineered and cut frame components.

  • Generally simpler to erect than wood systems and requires fewer workers to install.

Strong, Durable & Lightweight

  • One of the highest strength-to-weight ratios of any construction material.

  • Will never rot, warp, twist, buckle, split, crack, splinter, creep, settle, or burn.

  • Reduced seismic load and probability of damages from earthquakes or high winds.

  • Can be configured to meet high snow, wind and seismic load specifications.

  • Easier on-site handling of frame components.

Improved Construction, Quality & Less Maintenance

  • Steel is superior than wood

  • Manufactured to strict standards of strength and consistency.

  • Corrosion resistant, dimensionally stable and remains straight and true.

  • Steel structures do not age or deteriorate like wood structures.

  • Stronger connections - Screws do not loosen over time (vs. nails).

Added Safety & Resistance

  • Fire resistant - Non-combustable steel frame components

  • Impervious to termites, insects, rodents, mold, fungi or other destructive organisms.

  • Does not require pesticides or other chemicals used to treat wood framing.

Design Flexibility / Easy to Modify

  • Multiple frame dimensions for a variety of structures.

  • Availability of various tubular steel dimensions and thickness.

  • Greater strength for longer floor spans and higher sidewalls frame components allow for structural expansion or add-ons.

Energy Efficient

  • Allows for greater insulation values.

  • Does not expand or contract with humidity charges.

  • No air leakage caused by expansion cracks as with wood.

Recyclable

  • Steel is the most recycled material on Earth and more abundant than wood.

  • More than 100 billion pounds recycled annually.

  • Little waste and no trees are sacrificed for framing.
