Steel Framed Buildings

Good Afternoon to you all, another beautiful day down here in Cornwall today, i hope it’s the same for you where ever you may be.

I wanted to talk a little bit about how Cornwall Erecting Services can help you with your steel requirements. We are a small company based in Redruth, Cornwall and between all our staff we have a very wide skill base. We strongly believe in establishing a great relationship with our clients and we love nothing more than to see clients smiling faces at the end of a project. 🙂

If you are building your own home or extending your current one, have you ever considered using Steel for the main structure of your project? Well your in luck, i am here to help explain the benefits.

In construction schemes, timber has habitually been the material of choice, so why use steel? Here are some benefits of steel frame buildings over wooden framed buildings.

Cost effective: Since the steel is accurately cut to size in the fabricaton process, there is no need for extra time being used on site, therefore saving costs on wages.

Safe and resistant: Steel framed buildings are conspicuously more blaze resistant than timber framed structures. Steel is unaffected by rotting, bugs or rodents as well as mold or fungi. It does not have to be treated with chemicals like timber does.

Improved construction quality: A steel frame building does not age and worsen like wooden structures manage over time, so as a homeowner you dont have to be concerned about any weak spots. Steel is corrosion resistant, it is dimensionally steady and it furthermore continues directly, no anxieties about distorting with climate changes.

Durability: Steel has one of the largest powers to heaviness ratios of any building material. Steel will not ever buckle, divide, distort, rotate, rot or splinter. All this power, yet it weighs less than timber, making it simpler to handle and erect particularly when lifting partitions and roofs.

Not only do steel buildings benefit homeowners and construction workers themselves, using steel frames can save a lot of trees and the environment as well. Steel is a recyclable material, but timbers are not and they are decreasing fast. A great home design for our days now and the future should be durable, cost effective, environmentally friendly and easy to build.
