Steel offers the highest strength to weight ratio of any residential framing material. This strength allows for the use of less material while framing a stronger home. The strength of steel makes it the material of choice in Florida areas subject to natural disasters such as hurricanes. A steel framed home can be designed to withstand winds of 150 MPH.
 Although the use of steel cannot prevent natural disasters, it can minimize the damage that they cause. In conventional interior or exterior wood framed structures, the framing material is the third most commonly ignited material. The non-combustable properties of steel means that the framing material will not start a fire in your home, or contribute fuel to a fire once it has started. Steel also offers a safer environment during lightening storms (our area is the lightning capital of the world!) due to the fact that it provides a direct path to the ground. This reduces the chance of explosions, secondary fires, or personal injury.
Steel is a product that is 100% recyclable, making it an environmentally friendly material. The average 2,000 square foot home uses 50-60 old growth trees. The same home built with steel uses 6 scrapped cars. Steel is recognized by The Healthy House Institute as the framing material of choice due to the fact that it does not contain resins or other chemicals found in other framing materials. Also, steel does not out-gas as other materials do. Steel's environment benefits make it the building material that our kids can be proud of.
The strength of steel allows for the design of larger spans, creating more open floor plans. Steel is also easily remodeled due to the fact that there are generally fewer load-bearing walls and the connections can be easily taken apart.
