Structural steel
Structural steel has been a top choice in all types of building constructions for many years around the world. Even the smallest bungalow will incorporate this material because it offers faster construction. Building your own home can be such a frustrating experience as you watch the weeks drag by and barely any work accomplished, in the meantime a lot has been done but due to materials used, the process is slowed.
Steel can offer faster construction. It is made at a structural steel fabricators warehouse and then transported to the build, ready to be installed. This reduces strain on your builders and enables them to continue with foundations and walls, once the steel arrives and is craned into place, you notice the project speed up.
Another reason why this particular material is such a top choice with home builders is the price. Surprisingly when compared to many other building materials, structural steel is actually affordable and can easily be incorporated into the build budget, helping the contractors and architect come in as close to the agreed price as possible.
Structural steel is visually appealing, especially in modern homes which showcase exposed RSJ beams and go for a more minimalistic and industrial finish. In fact in an all-white minimalistic home, the red from the RSJ beam can be a welcome contrast, adding that finishing touch to the design and letting some of the building materials be showcased in a unique way.
Once you choose structural steel fabrication for your build, you will be amazed at its strength, this material is usually one of the top choices when it comes to building high rise buildings and other larger structures, so you can imagine the strength it provides when building your home. It can offer you peace of mind that your second floor is being held up properly or that your outdoor stairs to your deck aren’t going to be collapsing from rot any time soon.
In addition to all these advantages and reasons why you should be choosing structural steel when building your home, it also allows for design flexibility. Architects are able to think outside the box, creating designs for homes that are different and unique and are not the same as all the other homes on the street. You can turn your home into a masterpiece with your design.
Many homeowners are not aware that this material is sustainable, when in fact the steel used often incorporates recycled components, making it one of the best materials to choose when you are concerned how your build will impact the environment. It is also covered in a galvanized coating, in most instances, which eliminates the risk of the material rusting and eroding, making it one of the longest lasting materials you will use in your build. This ensures your home is still standing and enables you to hand it down to future generations for them to enjoy.
Always ensure when you choose this material for your house build that you use a reputable and reliable supplier with years of knowledge and experience in the industry. Ideally they will offer a complete service, from the design of the product to the fabrication and then they will install it, taking this stress away from your contractors and enabling them to concentrate on other aspects of the build.
