It was obvious especially in the rural areas where trees were exploited to obtain woods as the main material for building houses and commercial buildings. Although the woods have been the construction resources for decades, the flow of time, stronger desire for luxuries as well as the advancement of technology have led to steel be the limelight in the construction vogue. The equal qualities of wood can be provided by steel frame buildings, along with many other advantages.
The manifestation of steel in the construction field not only provides much convenience, it is an inexpensive solution to build structures. Steel frames are creating its name in the trend due to its apparent advantages that people tend to overlook the wood as the construction material. Structural frames include the Red Iron while Light Gauge steel is one famous material for non-structural frames.
They are usually used to construct commercial buildings such as the hospitals, schools and shopping complexes. The current trend shows that many home owners are turning into steel frames for residential purposes and some even reconstruct their wooden houses using steel frames.Steel frame buildings are said to be much stronger in contrast with the structures and buildings made of wood. One huge difference between the steel and wood is that steel is resistant to termites while wood is highly vulnerable towards the attack of termites.
This is an excellent solution for those who are threatened by the presence of termites in their homes. Similarly, wood is susceptible to fire while steel shows no damages with the burning of fire. Steel frames can avoid such problems and consequently, this leads to reducing the insurance premium costs. Besides, steel buildings are also safe from storm, thunder, earthquake or other natural mishaps.
The collapse of a wooden house will lead to zero outcome, whereas if a steel structure is brought down, its material can be recycled for other purposes through melting techniques. The increasing usage of steel has reduced the amount of logging and deforestation.
