Steel Features
Sustainable
Steel is one of the most recycled materials on the planet! At the end of a steel buildings life cycle, 100% of it can be recycled. Most steel today in the consumer market contains approximately 25% recycled steel.
Not Wasteful
We have less than 2% overall waste within our printing facility, and 0% waste on site. This allows for one of the most efficient and environmentally friendly framing methods.
Precise
Our structures are printed within 1mm of their design drawings, something not possible when building with other materials. Steel will also not rot, warp, split, crack, or creep.
Fast
Using a Struct system can cut installation time by up to 75%. Wall, floor and roof sections are printed to the exact dimensions prior to leaving our factory. Once on site, a typical home can be built in about a week. With exact precision. Windows, doors, and other materials can be pre-ordered with confidence, allowing for a huge reduction in overall construction time, from months to weeks.
Light
A steel structure is much lighter than building with concrete or wood. This dramatically reduces shipping costs and foundation requirements, allowing for a faster install on site.
Strong
Steel is much more resilient and stronger than wood framed structures. It provides a significant advantage in earthquake and high wind areas.
Bug-Proof
Steel is 100% inorganic, providing full bug resistant and none attractive to rodents of any kind.
Fireproof
Steel is noncombustible and will not promote the spread of fire. It prevents the rest of a fire spreading from one room to the next, and can have a significant insurance savings for some home and building owners.
Healthy
Building with steel means one does not have to worry about mold and off gassing, as it does not absorb moisture.
Engineered
Building with steel means one does not have to worry about mold and off gassing, as it does not absorb moisture.
