Here are 6 ways that metal buildings can withstand extreme weather conditions:

2. Resist high winds 

Metal buildings can be designed to withstand significant wind loads without compromising its structural integrity. With its high strength-to-weight ratio, metal can sustain more pressure than wood, making it an attractive option in areas of extreme weather patterns such as hurricanes or tornadoes. Our construction is engineered to distribute load and withstand the forces of high winds and even reduce damage from flying debris.

4. Contend with extreme heat  

With heat resistant materials combined with the proper insulation and ventilation, metal buildings can beat the heat. Using technology such as reflective roofing and other coatings,we can significantly reduce the heat buildup within the structure and help keep energy costs low. 

6. Coatings can prevent corrosion  

Having a physical location in humid areas such as Massachusetts, or even in salty air along the coast, can make many structures susceptible to corrosion and rust. Thankfully, many metal building materials can be treated with corrosion resistant coatings, extending the lifespan even under exposure to high humidity and heavy rains.

While all structures should be occasionally inspected and properly maintained, metal buildings require much less ongoing maintenance than their wooden counterparts. Steel does not usually split, rot, or warp like wood can, nor does it need to be painted or stained on a regular basis. Wood is also more susceptible to pests like termites. In general, steel buildings will last longer and with less maintenance costs than wooden ones.
