Environmental Steel Facts, A\u00a0Great Material To Work With<\/h2>\n

It is common knowledge that as an Elephant Structures<\/strong> brand, we deal in steel. The range of products we provide our customers are all built with it due to its durability, affordability, and ease of customization & construction.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However, something that doesn’t get talked about often is how steel is actually pretty awesome to use if you’re trying to be environmentally friendly. A few of steel’s characteristics that make it a “green” product compared to other building materials are:<\/p>\n

–Steel is 100% recyclable<\/strong>, and upon being recycled, it doesn’t lose its strength or durable characteristics. This means you can take old steel, and make it into a new building without wasting more resources! It also reduces energy consumption!<\/p>\n

–Steel Construction has many advantages.<\/strong> Since our structures are prefabricated at an offsite location, and then brought to you in easy-to-assemble pieces, no machinery is needed, and labor is used minimally. This saves energy, time, and resources.<\/p>\n

–Steel buildings require less heating and cooling to maintain room temperature<\/strong>, as air flow is easier to control. For further air flow control, our buildings are easily insulated, which saves even more on HVAC costs and reduces energy consumption.<\/p>\n

–Steel is very durable.<\/strong> Where other materials break down, rot, or need upgrades to structural support, steel needs none. You will use less materials and energy on the lifetime of a steel building, where a wood building will need to be replaced in the future (or at least parts of it).<\/p>\n
