The Advantages of Steel Buildings
Although the use of metal as a building material can be traced back to the 1700s, primarily with the use of iron in columns and beams, it wasn't until the development of commercial grade steel that metal became popular for use in building and bridge construction. Today, as the advantages they offer over other types of building construction have been embraced by architects, contractors and environmentalists alike, steel buildings have become popular throughout the world. At Whirlwind Steel Buildings, Inc., headquartered in Houston, Texas, we are on the leading edge of quality steel building development, design, manufacturing and construction. We invite you to discover some of the many advantages high-quality steel construction can bring to your next building project.
Steel buildings offer a host of advantages to other construction types and, in conformity with existing LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) protocols, they are truly 'green' structures. At Whirlwind Steel, we take it a step further with our existing Green Initiative, incorporating sustainable and recycled materials, solar technology and Energy Star approved products.
Our metal buildings are quick to construct, lighter weight and stronger than traditional buildings, easy to maintain and they offer fire resistance that translates into a safer structure and one less costly to insure. They are cost-effective to build, environmentally sound and resistant to harsh conditions such as high winds, hurricanes, heavy snow and even earthquakes. They are also more durable, resisting the possibility of cracking, splitting, rotting and damage caused by insects.
