Safety & Durability

When it comes to protecting your investment, nothing beats steel. Unlike wood, steel is non-combustible, offering superior fire resistance. In the event of a fire, steel frames keep flames from spreading quickly, giving you and your family more time to evacuate. Beyond fire resistance, steel is also engineered to withstand the toughest weather conditions, including earthquakes, hurricanes, and heavy snow loads—making it the best option for long-term stability.

Cost Benefits

Design Savings: Steel’s remarkable strength-to-weight ratio allows for lighter framing, which reduces the need for a heavy foundation and saves on overall material costs.

Speed of Construction: Our pre-engineered steel components streamline the construction process, significantly reducing project timelines. This faster construction means you can move in or open your business sooner, cutting labor and financing costs.

Lower Insurance: Steel framing is resistant to fire, pests, and rot, which means reduced insurance premiums. You’ll save on premiums while ensuring your building is safer and more resilient.

Long-Term Value: Steel framing is virtually maintenance-free and does not degrade over time like wood. This results in lower life-cycle costs, so your investment continues to perform without costly repairs or replacements.

Environmental Impact

Steel is the most recycled material on Earth, and at Deluxe Steel Frame, we make it a priority to build with materials that minimize environmental impact. By choosing steel, you are contributing to a sustainable future. Steel is endlessly recyclable, and producing steel from recycled materials uses far less energy than producing it from scratch, cutting down on both energy consumption and carbon emissions. Plus, steel framing eliminates waste, as every component is custom-made to order, meaning no excess materials go to landfills.

Steel vs. Wood

While wood might seem like the traditional choice, steel far outperforms it in nearly every category. Steel offers wide, open spaces without the need for interior supports, making your building more flexible and usable. Unlike wood, steel doesn’t warp, rot, or attract pests, which means your building will stand the test of time. Additionally, steel is more energy-efficient, keeping your building cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, which lowers your energy costs and carbon footprint.
