Metal Frame Warehouse Video

The steel structure is generally regarded as the most economical and fastest way to construct your warehouse, making it the top option for many industrial and civil buildings. We supply the structural steel warehouse design, and depending on your specific applications and specifications, the steel sections will be fabricated into various shapes and sizes.

A pre-engineered steel warehouse building will provide you with the very best value for your investment. In terms of cost and efficiency, ease and flexibility of expansion, insurance, and government JDCC incentive eligibility, and long-lasting superior structural integrity and durability – in every sector - pre-engineered steel buildings are the number one choice for warehousing and distribution facilities.

No wonder steel dominates the industrial market with a 95% market share and is aggressively taking over the commercial market, at a 71% share and climbing.

The steel warehouse is a kind of frame building, of which the frame structure mainly consists of steel beams and columns. The steel structure can be made by either hot or cold rolling. For the roof and wall panel, we supply steel sheet, fiber glass, PU sandwich panel options and so on. The curved metallic roof structure is also a good option for your project. The door and window of the steel frame structure warehouse can be made of PVC or aluminum alloy. With regard to purlin supporting system, wall and roof purlin, C-type and Z type are available for you to choose from.

Steel Structure Vs. Reinforced Concrete, Which Is An Ideal Choice?

The most of the industrial, commercial or civil buildings are constructed by means of either structural steel or reinforced concrete. Each way has its own pros and cons. When determining a structure for your warehouse, you need to take several factors into account so as to select the most suitable construction material for your warehouse. The cost of building a warehouse is of course the top consideration of the most customers. In addition, they may consider a few things such ash the strength, durability, ease of construction and sustainability of the building.

Cost. The light steel structure warehouse is the most popular option for many industrial and commercial usages thanks to its easy construction, high utilization and low cost. Besides, in contrast to reinforced concrete building, it has shorter construction period.

Strength. The steel has light weight and high strength, and the structural steel design of warehouse will also take safety into consideration.

Durability. The life cycle of the building is another important factor to consider, which will be affected by some elements in the environment, such as water, fire and humidity. Considering the characteristics of structural steel, it will easily get rusty when exposed to water or any moisture. Compared with concrete, it also lacks of good insulation, so employing the steel structure for warehouse should take the fire hazard into consideration. Generally, the steel structure building will be designed with fireproof coating and aluminum compounds coating to prevent hazardous conditions.

Ease of construction. The structural steel can be designed into any shape and size and connected by welds or bolts. It can be prefabricated in the factory and then sent to the site for construction, thus it will shorten your construction period.

Sustainability. The construction should also consider the effect on the environment. If properly used, both steel structure and concrete can be environmental friendly construction options. Many structural steels are made of recycled metals, and they can be reused in other projects. Concrete also does not cause harm to the environment. For the future concrete buildings, the concrete can be crushed and used as aggregate, realizing a high utilization.
