Structurally strong industrial steel buildings

07/05/15

The evolution of the industrial steel shed or commercial premise has been extraordinary, and these buildings have really evolved over the past 50 years. We’ve seen many iconic buildings made from this powerful building material, and we have witnessed first-hand how these buildings withstand strong gale-force winds and immense pressure from the natural elements. 

Popular Building Material

Many contractors, architects and builders are opting for steel industrial buildings because they have proven time and time again that they are structurally strong and supportive, and worth the financial investment. Cold formed steel as a material is extremely powerful, and although it is light in weight, it can support a considerable amount of weight. 

Sustainable Steel

Steel is also extremely sustainable, and depending on the design of your industrial shed, the steel components can be relocated or reused for future projects should you need to remove the existing building. 

Lightweight Material

As a lightweight material, steel can generally save businesses thousands on freight and labour costs, and also save considerably on turnaround times as they are much easier to erect than your traditional industrial buildings. 

Flexible Designs

Wide Span Sheds proudly has a large range of standard industrial steel shed designs, but we specialise in customising each design to suit our customers' building needs. From offices, warehouses, factories, schools, churches and shops, we have a steel industrial or commercial shed solution to suit all tastes and budgets.
