We live in an area where
structures must be durable enough to meet the
highest windload specifications required to
withstand the natural forces of hurricanes. Did
you know that steel can help provide that
strength?
For that matter buildings are lightning
resistant because steel framing provides
multiple conductive paths directly to the
ground. Schools and public buildings are more
resistant to fire because steel is
non-combustible and complies with fire codes and
regulations.
Buildings are constructed with metal studs that
are impervious to termites and other wood
destroying insects. Steel-framed buildings are
energy efficient when properly insulated and
because steel is dimensionally stable metal
studs will not expand or contract with humidity
changes.
Why use anything else!
