Steel Building Manufacturer Provides Educational Campaign For Hurricane Katrina Residents
A1 Steel Buildings Inc. http://www. a1steelbuildings. com continues their effort to help Hurricane Katrina survivors rebuild with steel buidlings.
New City, NY (PRWEB) June 26, 2006
Hurricane Katrina and other extreme weather conditions have greatly damaged property. Damage ranges from replaceable flood damage to total collapse from the high winds. Common wooden framed construction is the most susceptible to damage. As the area impacted by Hurricane Katrina rebuilds, A1 Steel Buildings is embarking on an educational campaign to highlight the long-term benefit of rebuilding with steel construction. As part of this campaign they are highlighting the new aesthetic appearance steel buildings can deliver.
To help educate people on steel and metal buildings brochures will be provided that cover several different aspects of steel building. It discusses the cost savings of buying a steel building over stick built homes. In addition pre-engineered steel buildings can withstand higher winds than normal wooden framed buildings. If flooding does occur, steel buildings incur less damage than water absorbing wood and other building materials.
In addition to those points there are many other benefits that go with choosing commercial steel buildings. The least of which not being the dramatically lower costs. Costs can be lowered by large scale production saving and reductions in the amount of labor required. As people move back to their devastated homes, pre-engineered steel buildings also provide a faster reconstruction period. This is because most of the steel buildings are pre-built in factory controlled settings and then shipped to the building site. The reconstruction period can be reduced from six to eight months to less than two months to be totally finished. More examples of this campaign can be found at http://www. a1steelbuildings. com/residentialbuildings. html (http://www. a1steelbuildings. com/residentialbuildings. html)
Historically people have created a preconceived notion that steel buildings are only warehouses and storage buildings. Due to the many benefits of steel buildings, architects around the country have designed steel buildings that utilize decorative wood and glass accents to make them appear as a typical house. The only limitations on steel buildings are placed on the local zoning codes and laws that vary for each home owner.
