METAL FRAME - TURNKEY SOLUTIONS


	METAL FRAME TURNKEY SOLUTIONS KOSTA - KOSTA sto metallo \| Metal Constructions in Heraklion, Crete Metal frame buildings are structures that use a load-bearing steel frame instead of traditional reinforced concrete.


	What They Are and How They Work

	The frame and internal wall structures: The frame consists of vertical columns and horizontal beams (often I- or H-shaped), which are connected using bolts and/or welding.

	The foundation: The structure is usually supported by a reinforced concrete base (a slab or strip footings).

	The wall construction: The spaces within the steel frame are enclosed externally with fiber cement board and thermal insulation (expanded polystyrene), and internally with rock wool, OSB boards (marine-grade plywood) and plasterboard.

	Depending on the building’s intended use and appearance, polyurethane panels, cement boards or bricks may also be used.

Key Advantages

Earthquake resistance: Steel offers excellent flexibility and strength during strong earthquakes.

Fast construction: They can be assembled much faster than concrete buildings.

Design flexibility: They allow for large open spans without internal columns, making them ideal for warehouses, industrial buildings and large open-plan spaces.

Lower weight: They have a high strength-to-weight ratio, placing less stress on the foundations.
