Steel Structure

Durability: One of the most advantageous features of the steel is strength and durability. As compared to other materials, steel has a better capability of withstanding natural calamities such as cyclones and earthquakes. Also, it is known for its durability and with little maintenance it can last more than 30 years.

Lightweight: If I-beams made of steel are used for framing are compared with the similar amount of wood used for the same purpose, steel will be lighter than wood. Design of the I-beam makes them structurally sound and lighter than any many materials used for framing. Moreover, it is easy to handle and transport too. It can easily be lifted by crane. This makes it a versatile material in true sense.

Cost effective: Steel is a cost-effective material in longer run. Its initial cost may be higher than other building materials, however in longer run it turns out to be a cost-effective choice.it is widely chosen for construction projects.

Flexibility: Steel is easy to work with and hence, it gives flexibility to achieve desired designs. As a result, steel is a popular choice of material for designers in the construction industry.

Fire resistance: Another important feature that steel offers is fire resistance as compared to other traditional materials. Wooden structures are highly combustible and can catch fire quickly. Although with heat steel's properties may change, additional measures such as chemical treatment, etc., can help you make steel fire resistant.

Recyclability: There is a greater emphasis on eco-friendly materials which includes recycled and recyclable material. Advantage with steel is that it is a recyclable material and once the structure is dismantled for any reason, steel can be recycled and reused for other purposes.
