Steel frames are most commonly used for structures such as warehouses, garages and other high-rise buildings. This is mainly due to its strength, simplistic design and ease of maintenance.
At MK Steelworks Ltd, we have a wealth of experience in the steel fabrication industry. This month’s blog looks at the many benefits of steel frame construction. For more information, call us in Nottingham on 08000 141424.
Stronger & More Durable
Structural steel is far stronger and more durable than concrete products or wood. It is also much lighter. A steel fabrication can be up to 50% lighter than a wooden equivalent.
In addition to this, unlike timber, steel does not split, warp, rot, or crack as it ages. It is also not porous which means mould and mildew cannot grow.
Faster to Build
Most projects require to be finished in the shortest possible timeframe. With structured steel, the majority of parts are fabricated offsite to fit certain specifications.
This means they are ready to install as soon as they are sent to the construction site, speeding up the process and reducing time.
