Cost-effective

One of the primary reasons prefab metal buildings are so popular is their cost-effectiveness. These metal buildings are less expensive than traditional building materials such as wood, brick, or concrete. This is due to several factors, including the fact that metal is a less expensive material, the speed of construction, and the fact that they require less maintenance than other materials.

Cheaper to manufacture

This means that prefab metal buildings are cheaper to manufacture, which leads to lower costs for the buyer. Additionally, the speed of construction is much faster with these metal buildings, which reduces labor costs. Metal building can be erected in a fraction of the time it takes to build a traditional structure, meaning that construction crews can complete more projects in a shorter period of time. This efficiency translates into savings for the buyer.

Less maintenance than traditional structures

Metal structure building require less maintenance than traditional structures. Metal does not rot or decay, so there is no need for expensive repairs or replacements over time. This means that the cost of owning a prefab metal building is much lower than owning a traditional structure over time.

Customizable

 

Highly customizable

Another benefit of prefab metal building is that they are highly customizable. Metal building can be designed to meet the specific needs of the buyer. This means that the buyer can choose the size, shape, and features of their building to fit their unique requirements with our metal building kits. With this customization in metal building, Global steel building provides best metal building kits with best and affordable metal building prices, This level of customization is not typically possible with traditional building materials.

Metal building can also be designed to blend in with their surroundings. Many buyers are concerned that prefab metal buildings will look out of place in their community. However, with modern design options, steel buildings can be made to look like traditional structures. This means that they can blend in seamlessly with their surroundings while still offering the benefits of a metal building.

Energy efficient

High levels of insulation

Prefab metal buildings are also energy efficient. Steel buildings can be designed with high levels of insulation, which means that they require less energy to heat and cool. This can lead to significant savings on energy costs over time.

Reflective material

In addition, metal is a reflective material, which means that it reflects sunlight and reduces the amount of heat that is absorbed by the building. This can help keep the building cool in the summer, which reduces the need for air conditioning that makes this steel building energy efficient. Global steel buildings always focus on these main matters to make it’s metal building kits reliable for buyer and makes steel buildings energy efficient.

Long lasting and Durable

Pre-engineered steel buildings

Pre-engineered steel buildings will last indefinitely with proper maintenance to prevent corrosion. That means that these steel buildings will last your lifetime. One reason behind steel’s longevity is its impressive dimensional stability. It has a much higher strength-to-weight ratio compared to wood. It isn’t prone to warping, nor will steel creep, split, expand, or contract due to moisture.

Metal buildings are incredibly durable and strong. Metal is an incredibly resilient material that can withstand extreme weather conditions, including high winds storms and heavy snowfall and seismic activity.

This means that metal buildings are less likely to suffer damage in the event of a natural disaster, which can save the owner thousands of dollars in repair costs.

Resistant to pests

Additionally, metal buildings are resistant to pests such as termites and rodents, which can cause extensive damage to traditional structures over time. This means that these buildings require less maintenance and are less susceptible to damage over time, which can save the owner money in the long run.

Bug Resistant

Termites are among the world’s most destructive pests, and they’re all over Canada. As you might have guessed, these insects feed mostly on wood and organic materials. And yes, they’re the same materials often used to support the weight and bear the wind, snow, seismic and live loads any Canadian building experiences.

Termites aren’t your only enemy though — the same goes for woodworm, beetles, and sawflies. If these pests find their way into your property, they will be difficult to exterminate. Steel doesn’t have the same propensity as wood when it comes to termite damages.

Since it’s an alloy of Iron, termites (and other pests) can’t feed on it. With our high-quality paint coating, water won’t decay the steel components. Unlike wood, it won’t turn all spongy or soft when exposed to moisture.

That makes our pre-engineered steel one of the best materials for your construction project, be it a steel workshop or a garage. By using steel, you can make your building less prone to pest infestations.

Resilient and Non-Combustible

Impressive resilience

Steel’s impressive resilience gives it the ability to withstand external shocks. Such shocks can result from earthquakes, blasts, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Did you know that there are approximately 5,000 small earthquakes in Canada every year?

There are a number of high seismic locations in Canada; particularly the coast of British Columbia, The St. Lawrence River and the Ottawa River valley to name a few.

Our engineers specifically design our “pre-engineered” buildings to withstand earthquake forces outlined in the National Building Code.  Also, steel is non-combustible. It also doesn’t melt at the typical temperatures that structural fires often create.

Since it doesn’t burn or melt, it won’t provide a source of ignition, nor would it serve as a fuel load. With that said, if a fire does start in a pre-engineered steel building, the structure won’t contribute to its spread.

It can also act as a barrier for fires, or at the very least, slow the flame’s transfer rate. We also offer fire wall or fire barrier designs.

Lower associated costs

Our Canadian factory manufactures all the pre-fabricated steel components and ships complete buildings to any job site in Canada. As such, the materials come from a facility specifically designed for steel production.

Since you can get them in fabricated form, buying steel will reduce on-site labor because our kits come ready to bolt together. In addition, getting pre-fab steel helps reduce construction waste. With fewer waste materials on-site, there would also be less clean-up to do.

Furthermore, there are steel building accessories designed with energy-efficiency in mind. Insulation and roll-up doors, for instance, help prevent energy losses and gains.

All these then contribute to lower overhead building expenditures. Besides, the durability itself of steel means that you won’t need to replace them in just a few short years.

Green and Sustainable

Steel isn’t something made for consumption — only utilization. Once produced, you can use it over and over again, whether as-is or in a repurposed form. This alloy is the only true cradle-to-grave-to-cradle type of recycled material. Steel is 100% recyclable.

You can say that prefabricated metal buildings are Environmentally Friendly even these are commercial steel buildings.

These commercial buildings are environmentally friendly. Even you want this as a metal garage or any other need to work. Metal is a recyclable material, which means that it can be reused over and over again. Additionally, the manufacturing process for metal buildings generates less waste than traditional building materials. This means that the construction of commercial metal building has a smaller carbon footprint than traditional structures.

No matter how many times it goes through recycling, it won’t suffer from integrity loss. Meaning, you can recycle old steel beams and turn them into new steel beams. All this makes it one of the world’s most sustainable building components.
