Windows & Steel Buildings

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011

Windows are an essential accessory for any steel building. They beautify steel buildings and add to their design. Apart from adding to the aesthetics of a steel building, windows allow ventilation and proper lighting of the area too.

To make windows more durable and long lasting they should either be galvanized or covered with aluminum framing. Such windows require low maintenance and are less prone to destruction caused by weather. Ordering windows at the time of steel building purchase helps avoids discrepancies related to dimensions later.

Types of windows for steel buildings to choose from:

Steel builders provide various types and sizes of windows to select from. The selection of the window depends on the taste of the buyer as well as on its placement in the building. The most common types are:

Horizontal Slide Windows: They have overlapping sashes that slide horizontally; providing lighting and ventilation to the building. These may have features like half screen, latch, tainted glasses, weather stripping etc.
Single Hung Windows: They are fixed at the one end and movable on the other. These may also have additional features.
Slim Line Windows: These windows cannot be opened and are fixed and closed. Thus, these are basically used for letting the light in or enjoying a view of the outside. Many steel building owners opt for them to add on the appearance of their steel buildings and offices.

The types of windows mentioned above can be either insulated or non insulated, self framing or requiring sub framing etc. depending on the buyers’ and buildings’ requirements. Windows are not a part of the steel building kits but come completely assembled to enable easy installation in steel buildings.

If you are thinking of overhauling your steel building or accessorizing it then it’s time you start checking out different steel buildings accessories vendors.

Thursday, August 19th, 2010

Steel buildings allow for great hygiene with their well organized and well set waste disposal system. Efficient installation of gutters and downspouts in a steel building allows for proper drainage and takes care of water irregularities. Now that would be available in any sophisticated system however, with steel buildings these come at a lower cost!

A steel building with downspouts is very effective in maintaining the regularity of the flow of water. They collect the rain water from the roof and direct it through the drainage system. A metal building gutter prevents your house from water clogging and occurrence of insects and pests. They also avoid water accumulation around the house which can also result into formation of water puddles. That spoils the outlook of your steel building.

Gutters and downspouts in a metal building ensures proper hygiene and tidiness in and around the house. These act as saviors particularly during snowfall. Steel building gutters save you from jammed drainage and streets.

Galvanized steel building gutters and downspouts

Steel building gutters are available in various shapes and sizes. The popular material generally used for them are electroplated and hot-dipped galvanized. Both these ensure long lasting strength and working ability of the waste disposal system.

Forming a very important aspect of steel building maintenance, gutters and downspouts also act as accessories in a steel structure. Your hygiene and personal safety is in your hands now. Allow for proper drainage in steel buildings.

Steel Building Framing – A Plausible Alternative

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

Steel Framing is integral to all steel structures. Residential steel framing usually utilizes cold-formed steel members for walls, roofs and/or floors. Steel framing is a cost-effective alternative to wooden framing. Steel, being manufactured under stringent conditions, possess a consistent strength, straightness and dimensionally stable members that in turn make it resistant enough to endure wind and earthquake loads.

Benefits of Steel Framing

Steel framing utilizes cold-formed steel which contains a minimum of 25% recycled steel. 100% recyclable steel produces minimal job site waste, thus, making the steel an environment-friendly construction material.

Steel Framed members follow the national standards and therefore, have a consistent material quality. Zinc-coated, steel framing is resistant to corrosion.

Steel-framed fabrications are energy-efficient provided they are properly insulated.

Steel is able to withstand unpredictable seismic events as well because steel, unlike other construction material has consistent attributes like thickness, width and other dimensional properties.

Steel framing utilizes screws for connections which provide for the mechanical locking and this in turn strengthens the steel structure.

The ease-of-implementation definitely makes their erection much more easy for the architects and construction engineers.

Though the initial cost might be a little higher as opposed to wooden framing but this extra-cost is worth bearing for considering the many benefits of steel framing.

Installing Steel Building Roofs

Sunday, September 20th, 2009

Steel buildings using metal roofs have an advantage. However much depends on how they are laid. Metal roofs should be properly installed after choosing the right roofing products and details, it is sure to have a long-lasting endurance.

A few points one must keep in mind before installing metal roofs:

Clarity on Design: Clarity of design is imperative. One must avoid cluttering the metal construction with too many penetrations. A jungle of pipes and ducts may lead to issues like exposure of metal to corrosion and consequentially to leakage. So, it is better to avoid penetrations.
Choosing the Right Roof: So, what kind of metal roof does your metal building need? Make sure you take everything into consideration (Read weather, hurricane resistance, hail resistance etc) before finalizing the product, for example – if your metal fabrication stands in an area where hailstorms are a common thing then you must avoid snap-on types of roofing. Although all seam designs in roofs are somewhat vulnerable but the snap-ons perform the worst.
Avoiding the Formation of Ice Dams: Ice dams or precisely the accumulation of ice and snow is usually a result of warm roofs and cold eaves. It is better to avoid both as this might lead to leakage and produce local depressions. To avoid such risks, one might go for waterproof panel design rather than the water-shedding one.
Installing the Metal Roof the Right Way: Installation counts as much importance as the proper design and roofing elements. Sometimes it is not the error in design but the improper attachment that leads to wind-related roof losses.

So next time you plan a metal roof for your metal building or steel building do not neglect the installing procedure.

Steel buildings seem to be have reached a level where they can be virtually tagged as ‘ever-evolving’. A lot has been introduced and innovated in the steel building construction world over the years and it just gets better with every new permutation. Insulating steel building exteriors is the latest concept brought about by engineers and is getting really popular among investors.

Steel building exteriors are insulated in order to shield the structure from elements such as fire, flood, rain and snow. But, it’s not just about installing it, it’s more about installing it the right way so that it is effective and efficient.

Read on to know the right way to insulate your steel metal building exterior:

Apply double-sided tape to the frame of your steel structure. It’s important to ensure that the tape should be applied where you plan to secure the insulation.
Open a layer of insulation and fit it over the fame.
Make sure that you lay the insulation between the frame and sheeting.
Larger steel studs and joists will help add more insulation.
In order to hold everything in place, consider inserting metal strapping.
You can now attach the sheeting and tape the seams and then place the metal tape over the seams.

It’s a great investment option and you can secure your steel structure from weather onslaughts. However, it is always wise to refer to a manufacturer’s guide or employ a professional.
