Why build with steel? Durability and Strength
For starters, steel buildings are durable. They provide your family with excellent protection against wind, rain, snow and ice and are even hail-resistant. Moreover, due to the trussless, clear span design, steel buildings are uniquely resistant to earthquakes.
With its durability, steel is longer lasting. In fact, it has one of the highest strength to weight ratios of any construction material. It won't crack, warp, twist, rot, split or settle like wood might. And, your steel building is impervious to termite damage.
What about appearance? Because of its strength, steel offers increased design flexibility, accommodating larger open spaces without trusses, posts or interior load-bearing walls. Steel will not shrink or swell from humidity over time, which will contribute to better drywall and exterior appearance and better fit of doors and windows. Steel buildings, either unpainted or light in color, also reflect heat in warm climates. That means lower cooling costs.
