Statistics on global steel consumption show that approximately 50% is used in construction, 20% in the construction of machines and equipment, 10% metal products, 10% transport, 5% consumer goods and 5% others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Productivity is the main advantage of metal constructions. Steel is one of the few metals that is continuously recyclable, and any steel product you use probably contains at least 25% recycled steel<\/a>. The recycling process does not weaken the steel, which makes it an ideal candidate for continuous reuse. Being totally recyclable, steel is considered an ecological product. The steel structures<\/strong> of today will be reused for the buildings of the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steel used in construction – its use and advantages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Steel has the following advantages:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 resistance;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 design flexibility;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– it is a recyclable material;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 low construction costs;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– it is a light material;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 low long-term maintenance costs;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– it is fire resistant, which means that in the event of a fire, it will not fuel the fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make an energy efficient construction, steel buildings require additional insulation. This can be seen as a disadvantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steel profiles <\/a>offer elegant and cost-effective methods to achieve open spaces over long distances. Many clients are now asking for large interior spaces without interior pillars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earthquakes are unpredictable in terms of size, frequency, duration and location. Steel<\/a> is a material often chosen in construction because it is ductile <\/a>and flexible. It bends under extreme loads, rather than collapsing. Many of the beam-to-column connections in a steel building are designed primarily to support gravity loads. They also have a considerable capacity to withstand lateral loads caused by wind and earthquakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steel parts can be assembled quickly and efficiently in all seasons. The lower weight of steel compared to other materials, such as concrete, allows for a smaller foundation. The wide range of architectural possibilities available with the help of steel means that you can put into practice an ambitious design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
