It’s no secret that buildings can deteriorate over time. Without scheduled maintenance and regular care, commercial buildings break down. When left idle, facilities are negatively impacted by moisture, plant rooting that causes structural cracks, wind damage, etc. More immediate damage can come from construction errors. If structures, foundations, trenches, or masonry work is not done according to particular specification and drawings, deterioration will occur quickly.
Steel is a good building material because it is known for its ability to withstand common causes of deterioration. Steel also comes with the added perk of low maintenance needs. The lifespan of your steel building can be prolonged if you wash it regularly and address small damage in a timely manner. Steel materials deliver buildings that maintain value year over year. And steel Butler Buildings from Hance Construction offer a sound build that promises longevity.
Barrier coatings and paints are readily available to coat steel surfaces and isolate it from water, sun, and oxygen so it withstands corrosion.
Mold cannot feed on steel like it does on other materials. Steel is resistant to moisture, making it repellent to mold growth.
Steel does not warp, split, crack or corrode when appropriately produced and maintained. These are common problems for wood and concrete structures.
A steel building is capable of withstanding winds up to 200 mph. Steel buildings are designed to bend with the wind and deflect lateral forces to the walls and down to the ground.
Since steel is non-combustible, it doesn't burn and doesn’t act as a fuel during a building fire. Innovative fire-retardant coatings and insulation can further increase its fire resistance to higher temperatures.
You won’t have to worry about running into common problems found with wooden structures, such as insect infestations or natural deterioration. Steel’s inorganic nature makes it resistant to termites and rotting.
Steel requires very little regular maintenance and is quickly and easily repaired.
