Compared to wood, steel has the following characteristics that make it a better building material. Steel has the best weight to strength ratio of all building materials. This determines the very high strength of steel houses. Floor spans can be longer, houses can have more floors, more open spaces can be designed. In addition, the connections of the structural elements are stronger: rivets and screws are used, instead of nails.
SCS steel structures are successfully used worldwide in seismic areas, mining damage, hurricane and tornado prone areas. Because of its light weight, steel framing is a technology that allows construction on low bearing capacity soils. Steel is also an inorganic, homogeneous material. This means there is no cracking, stretching, delamination or rotting.
The structure is not affected by changes in humidity, does not deform over time - walls and corners will stay straight all the time, and there is no cracking of drywall. Steel is also non-flammable and resistant to mildew, the structure does not need to be impregnated chemically. The SCS structure is covered with a thick layer of zinc, which completely protects against corrosion.
Finally, a small thing, but extremely important for the inhabitants of the house: partition walls are built on a much stronger steel structure SCS, and not, as in the case of wooden houses, from thin aluminum profiles.
