Premade metal buildings are gaining popularity, but are they just a fad? While most people still prefer traditional construction with wood and concrete, pre-engineered steel buildings are proving to be better alternatives, thanks to the following reasons:
- Versatility
Pre-engineered metal buildings are not just for warehouses, aircraft hangars, and industrial factories. A seasoned fabricator can turn these structures into anything you need, including offices, commercial spaces, worship centers, equestrian facilities, workshops, schools, garages, recreation hubs, and comfortable, modern homes. Steel structures allow for all exterior and interior finishes and support every roof and wall design, including stucco, shingles, and brick, so you won’t have to worry about the building looking too industrial.
- Flexibility
Premade metal buildings offer ample interior space thanks to their modular and clear-span layouts. They don’t need multiple supports like pillars and walls, leaving you more free space. This allows you to install partitions and create dedicated spaces for every application, such as an office space, lounge area, and more. The clear-span design also makes them practical for aviation, agriculture, and automotive industries that require vast open spaces for equipment, storage, and vehicles.
- Low-maintenance
Steel is durable and doesn’t require extensive maintenance. Just don’t forget to perform routine inspections.
- Quick and easy to build
These buildings are pre-engineered to your site’s requirements, including local codes and load-bearing capacities. Plus, all components are precut, drilled, and numbered, ensuring everything is ready to assemble. Fabricators also provide detailed and custom erection guides and assembly drawings.
- Energy-efficient
Steel buildings can be insulated more effectively, allowing you to choose any insulation to reduce energy consumption and save money on heating and cooling.
- Low building costs
Pre-engineered metal structures are more cost-effective to make than traditional construction. These buildings are designed in-house to avoid residual waste, and specifically engineered to your requirements to eliminate excessive material usage.
- Safer than traditional structures
Steel is fire-resistant and can withstand nature’s wrath, including snowstorms, hurricanes, and earthquakes. Plus, it helps create pest- and moisture-resistant structures that last longer than traditional buildings.
- Long lifespan
As long as they are made by a reliable manufacturer and you take the time to inspect and address any issues, premade metal buildings will easily outlive traditional wood and concrete structures. These buildings will last for many generations with minimal maintenance and care.
- Expand anytime
Metal buildings are easy to update, thanks to the modular structure that allows for width or length expansions. The process is significantly faster and more affordable than a traditional renovation.
- Better, longer warranties
Premade metal buildings by Armstrong Steel are known for their lengthy warranties, such as 50 years for the structural integrity, 35 years on the roof, and 40 years for the paint.
