Steel Framing Construction-Safety and Durability

Steel Framing is significantly stronger than wood framing. It actually has the highest strength to weight ratio of any comon residential building material.

• Steel frames don't burn and in some areas they may qualify you for discounted insurance premiums
• Steel frames are not affected by weather conditions like wood. Wood frames expand, contract, warp, and bulge while steel frames stay true
• Safer in wind, snow, and earthquakes. Steel frames can be engineered for many applications with high wind and snow loads as well as the highest seismic ratings available.
• Quality consistency with steel is greater than wood. Walls and ceilings are straighter and true. Wood is inconsistent from board to board.
• Green material- Not only is a steel home generally stronger than wood. Red Iron and galvanized steel used in metal framed buildings is amongst the most recycled materials in the world today
