STRONGEST STEEL FRAME BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES
For anyone considering steel famed buildings and structures, careful thought must be given to the construction materials being proposed by the supplier. This will ensure that you get the best building for your money.
For example, there are three different manufacturing processes that can be employed to produce the completed framework of a steel framed fabric building. The quality and longevity of the finished structure is dependent upon the method chosen.
1. Painted Black Steel
In this process the steel framework is welded together and then painted before being erected on site. Unfortunately the paint is susceptible to chipping, particularly during handling and transportation, and such damage results in rust and a reduced lifespan.
2. Pre-Galvanized Steel
Here zinc galvanized tubes are first bent or welded together then the "black" areas are treated with a special paint to prevent corrosion. This process is used by several fabric building manufacturers and the main benefit is a reduced cost. However, the weld points usually start to rust, even though they have been painted, and the result is, again, a limited lifespan and unsightly appearance.
3. Hot-Dip Galvanized
In this process, the complete framework is built of welded black steel and then hot-dip galvanized to provide a consistent zinc coating over the entire structure.
All Rubb Buildings are Hot-Dip Galvanized post-production for the highest level of quality and longevity.
