Safety Features of Your Future Steel Building

A steel building has many advantages over other construction materials, among them strength, affordability, ease of installation and the ability to move your building without demolition and subsequent construction work. None of those advantages mean much when personnel, livestock and equipment are put at risk, though. Happily, enhanced safety is yet another way in which a steel building outdoes its competition. Fire Resistance This is an important factor as far as many buyers and building designers are concerned. Gasoline burns at 495 degrees Fahrenheit (at standard atmospheric pressure); diesel at somewhere between 126 and 205 °F. Steel won’t melt until it reaches at least a 1,000 degrees F. You need non-combustible material for all your farm, ranch and residential building needs; whether housing livestock, produce, expensive machinery or workplace tools, demand the ultimate in fire resistance. Furthermore, hazardous materials housing may attract special restrictions from code enforce

How Future Buildings can Make a Difference With Steel and Metal Farm Buildings

Every agricultural operator understands the importance of good, sound, hard-working steel farm buildings to house livestock, produce, equipment and vehicles. Being able to order those buildings, at the right price, can make the difference between a good year and a bad year. When you need steel farm buildings, your first and only call should be to Future Buildings. Barns Livestock and equipment needs protection from the elements, so barns are a must for most operators. The trussless arch format of Future Steel’s farm buildings maximizes interior space availability, because every inch of floor area is available for use; no supports or corner pieces obstruct access or take up space. Sturdy and stable, the design is warm and dry when enclosed, just like the more traditional construction styles, but offers massively increased potential for access and stock management. Future Buildings’ barns offer an ideal combination of immediate benefits and eventual add-on potential. Because our barns ar

Why is Galvalume Steel the Best Choice for Your Steel Building?

Galvalume steel is often so-called as a generic term referring to a metal product that consists of steel coil coated with a metal alloy made up of 45% zinc and 55% aluminum. It resembles galvanized steel except for the visible crystals that are smaller and closer together that give Galvalume a smoother appearance. There is a variation of it known as Galvalume Plus. It is only different in that it has a thin, clear coating of acrylic. This variety can be roll-formed while dry without the need to apply varnishing oil. It is easy to form and install. The Galvalume Advantage The zinc and aluminum in this type of steel makes the most of the negative and positive aluminum effects. It enhances resistance to corrosion and to heat to the levels that aluminized material has. It also enhances the forming and protective ability of steel. Galvalume and Galvalume Plus are highly resistant to rust, weather elements and fire and they also provide a very strong protective covering. Compared to galvaniz
