Benefits of Building with Steel
Look around, and you’ll quickly find steel buildings hiding in plain sight all over your community. From workshops, garages and storage facilities to significantly larger structures - agricultural buildings, airplane hangars and even homes.
Why? Well, because building with steel is awesome. And steel building kits make it incredibly easy and, dare we say, fun.
In all seriousness, there are many benefits to steel buildings - some that you may not even realize:
-
It’s less expensive - Using a pre-engineered steel building kit like those offered by VersaTube can be up to 60 percent less expensive than traditional building methods.
-
They’re easy to build - Thanks to our Slip-Fit technology and quality engineering, our buildings go together quickly and easily.
-
They stand the test of time - Unlike wood, our steel buildings won’t fall victim to mold, termites, fire and other conditions that can weaken or destroy traditional buildings.
-
They’re environmentally friendly - No trees will need to give their lives for your new shed, carport or garage. Steel is abundant, and when your building reaches the end of its lifespan it won’t end up in a landfill - steel is the most recycled material on the planet.
-
They have a high insulation value - Wood expands and contracts with changes in the weather, causing gaps in the building. Steel does not. If you’re building a workshop or other building you plan to insulate for climate control, you’ll be glad you chose steel.
-
They’re maintenance fee - Well, virtually. You might need to slap a coat of paint on your VersaTube building every 25 -30 years or so. But that’s pretty much it.
-
They’re customizable and changeable - Yes, we know you can customize a wooden building, too. But our online tool makes designing the VersaTube building you want so easy. And, with a steel frame building, you can easily make changes to an existing building, without tearing out walls and sending construction waste to the trash pile. Simply undo the existing fastenings, release the Slip-Fit connections, and connect your addition.
