Steel buildings – particularly the portal framed, cold rolled buildings we design and supply at Castle Steel - have undergone a boom in recent years, not least because of their many environmental benefits. Steel is, after all, fully recyclable – a bonus in an age where climate change and environmental impact can a decision-making factor for many consumers.The steel buildings we supply are precision engineered off-site by our fabricators, which means minimum disruption for customers in their daily business. The kit nature of our buildings also means that installation by our experienced team of installers is quick and efficient, keeping any downtime on-site to the absolute minimum.At the end of their natural life, our steel buildings can be fully dismantled and repurposed into new construction projects if they’re not needed anywhere else. Here in the UK, there are even government subsidised environmental programmes that allow for steel construction by-products to be collected free of charge.In addition to their recyclability, our steel buildings offer excellent insulation against whatever the environmental conditions are outside. This has an obvious cost-saving benefit as energy bills can be reduced in a steel building that takes little energy or effort to regulate. Cool in summer and warm in winter, a steel building can help reduce your carbon footprint compared to other, more traditional buildings.Our buildings are particularly resilient to multiple weather types too, making them ideal wherever they are installed in the UK. Our unique design software takes account of the local environmental factors such as wind speed, wind direction and potential snow loading, as well as the impact of rain.Of course, there are many steps to be taken to look after a steel building, but on the whole, steel buildings are easy and relatively inexpensive to maintain.
