Modular Steel Benefits

LGS allows Steel Homes to hit many of its core objectives, focusing on safety first.

Strong and Durable

Steel outperforms wooden structures in strength tests, helping the structures that use Steel Homes’ LGS withstand:

  • Heavy snow loads
  • Strong winds from tornadoes and hurricanes
  • Earthquakes

Steel membranes and framing strengthen homes or commercial buildings to extend lifespans and allow for minimal maintenance requirements.

Fire and Natural Disaster Resistance

Wildfires have destroyed homes in Canada and the US, leaving many builders rethinking how structures are built. Steel frame residential homes offer superior resistance, including:

  • Steel’s ability to stop the spread of fire through a structure
  • Termite resistance and the ability to stop other pests from weakening the structure.

As a non-combustible material, all steel membranes in the home will not burn, allowing for less damage in the event of a fire and even cheaper insurance premiums.

Energy Efficiency

Sustainability and energy efficiency work seamlessly together thanks to the concepts put in place by Steel Homes Modular. The structures built using the LGS require fewer studs and uninsulated areas.

The increase in overall insulation, often with walls featuring R-30, allows the structure to maximize energy efficiency in ways that are not possible with wood.

Wooden structures are susceptible to warping, which allows them to become less airtight over time. Steel’s ability to resist warping keeps the structure’s energy use as efficient as possible. Heating and cooling costs are lower thanks to:

  • Superior thermal insulation
  • Airtight design concepts

Recyclability

SteelHomes Modular’s cost-effective structures are made with 100% recyclable materials. If the building needs to be taken down in the future, you can be confident that the steel used in the construction process can be reused or recycled.

A steel frame eliminates the need to cut down and process a quarter acre of mature trees.
