DiscountSteelBuildings.com - Features Advantages & Benefits
Primary Framing
Features
Advantages
Benefits
All steel design
More durable structure
Reduced insurance costs, no wood rot, no additional material to purchase, no termite infestation, non-combustible building material.
Solid I-Beam Construction material used is minimum 50,000 p.s.i. yield for optimum strength
Discount Steel Buildings strength is almost 40% stronger than other manufacturer’s 36,000 p.s.i. strength
By using a higher yield strength material a smaller web can be utilized creating a space-saving design. No open weballows more cubic feet for storage
Frames are single bead; continuous arc welded by automatic welding machines
Better quality control, submerged in flux, temperature controlled weld for more secure welds
Better quality building
Factory primer coating
More protection
Safer erection process for the building
All buildings pre-welded, pre-drilled, andpre-punched
Ready to assemble
Speedy and easier erection, lower on-site labor costs
