Pros The steel-framing offers an important advantage over conventional wood-based residential home construction: - Solid construction: steel will not rot, shrink, warp, buckle, split, or decay when touched by rain or sun, and it will neither burn nor support combustion.
- Strength: welded steel framing withstands the forces of the nature much better than conventional wood framing.
- Feature and Architectural preference friendly: 100 percent usable interior space with no floor or ceiling obstructions.
- Fast erection: Once the home package has been transported to the site, walls can be erected within hours.
- Higher Precision: Not only are walls perfectly straight and square, they are also precisely positioned according to drawings. This allows for easy installation of tiles and quick completion of internal carpentry work, which represents savings in labor.
- Termite and vermin proof.
- Energy efficient: A steel frame home has a wall thickness of 8 inches, allowing for the installation of 9-inch fiberglass with an insulation rating of R 30. This produces a higher comfort level in the home with energy savings of 50% or more.
- More pleasant and peaceful: the external noise is either totally eliminated or substantially reduced due to the added insulation afforded by the thicker exterior walls.
