Steel has long been the standard in the industry as a sound building material. According to the Steel Framing Alliance, there are many reasons why steel framing has come to the forefront as one of the best and most attractive building materials for residential and commercial construction. Steel is a superior construction material:
•
Highest strength-to-weight ratio of any building material
•
100% recyclable
•
Non-combustible —
does not burn nor contribute fuel to the spread of a fire
•
Inorganic —
will not rot, warp, split, crack or creep
•
Dimensionally stable —
does not expand or contract with moisture content
•
Consistent material quality —
produced in strict accordance with national standards,
no regional variations
