| Advantages︰ | Safety - Fire Resistance:
Structural members and framing in wood construction are the third most commonly first ignited material in U.S. home fires. Fires started in framing materials: 347 deaths, 843 injuries, $649 million property damage
Safety - Verses hurricanes and tornadoes:
More resistant to the effects of severe hurricanes and tornadoes: Classic Homes can be designed to withstand high winds
Safety - Superior grounding:
Less likelihood of damage from lightning strikes due to superior grounding characteristics
Termite Proof:
$750 million in damages per year
Last year, 2 million wood frame homes treated for termites
Superior aging & maintenance advantages:
Steel framing uses screws and fasteners instead of nails, and does not sag over time (compared to wood framing).
Environmental Considerations:
The steel industry consumes twice the amount of recycled material as all other industries combined - double that of paper, non-ferrous metals (aluminum, copper, lead, zinc, etc.), glass and plastics combined.
No cosmetic restrictions:
Finish-out (using traditional materials) can look just like a traditionally built home.
Big Energy Cost Savings:
Wide wall cavities allow for up to 8\" batt insulation rated at R-30. |
