You probably feel pretty cramped if you’ve lived in a rental apartment for years. And if you have a growing family to consider, that can be even worse. You want to build a home for your family—but don’t see the design and material options to choose from.
At Reel Steel Company, we’ll help develop your residential steel home at an affordable price. We discuss all the different types of steel available for you and help you choose the one that best suits your needs and budget.
Reasons You Need To Build A Residential Home From Reel Steel Company
- Durability
One of the most obvious reasons to build a residential steel home is durability. Steel is a solid material and can withstand harsh weather conditions, making it an ideal choice if you live in an area that experiences lots of natural disasters. The steel frame will protect the interior walls and keep them dry and intact even during heavy rains or high winds.
- Cost-Efficiency
Building a steel home is much less costly than building a timber frame home. The structural members of a steel structure are prefabricated and arrive on site ready to be lifted into place, whereas timber frames require that each piece be cut and assembled on site.
We are glad to offer you Prefab metal homes that are cost-efficient. Contact us today at 833-733-5783.
- Energy Efficiency
Lower heating and cooling costs: Steel homes are highly insulated, which means you can cut your energy bill. The corrugated metal used to build these structures is similar in strength to plywood. Steel walls better regulate heat flow than traditional building materials like brick or wood, making them more energy-efficient overall.
Energy-efficient windows: Unlike glass windows, steel frames block the UV rays from reaching your home and causing damage over time while still letting light through into your living space—a win-win if you ask us!
Solar panels for power generation: A solar panel system adds another layer of savings on top of the already low utility bills you’ll be paying for heating and cooling costs, thanks to those fantastic insulative properties mentioned above!
- Eco-friendly
As a homeowner and resident, you should know that residential steel homes are 100% recyclable! Steel is the only building material that can be recycled repeatedly without losing its quality. It contains 70% recycled content, which means it’s an environmentally friendly choice for your home.
Chemical-free! The production of a steel house involves no toxic fumes or chemicals released into the environment. This makes it safe for everyone involved in building your home—including you and your family.
- Quicker Build Time
One of the most significant benefits of a steel home is that it can be built in a fraction of the time. For instance, the building of steel cottages takes a few days compared to creating other residential home designs. With prefabricated buildings, you don’t have to worry about hiring labor or buying materials; Reel Steel will construct your home in a few days.
Builders have access to pre-engineered components made specifically for their region and climate with steel homes. These components are assembled on-site according to plans provided by manufacturers who understand local building codes and regulations—this means they’re more accessible than ever before!
- Sustainability
The metal cabin kits are made from recycled steel. It makes it an environmentally-friendly choice and easier to maintain and repair over time. It’s also expected that a steel-framed home will last longer than a brick one—and if you’re looking for something you can adapt to changing needs down the line, this is an excellent choice for you!
