STEEL ARCH BUILDING
Metal housing is growing in popularity as people look for inexpensive, low maintenance and green ways to live. From cost-efficiency to strength and durability as well as a reduced carbon footprint, these forms of homes can be an outstanding option whether you’re looking for a starter home, you want to downsize your existing lifestyle, or you just want a great alternative housing option.
Cost-Effective Arch Building Housing
One of the biggest reasons people are turning towards steel arch buildings for housing or even farm buildings is that it’s incredibly economical. A traditional home can take a year or more to build and requires a vast array of trades- and craftspeople to build, from carpenters to electricians to metalworkers to plumbers, and they can cost upwards of hundreds of thousands of dollars (even millions, depending on the size and architecture used).
A steel building, on the other hand, can be customized and erected without the need for all these different levels of craftspeople. They use standard-size nuts and bolts (a single size for the entire building) so there’s no confusion about what goes where, and they will save you a great deal on the labor involved in constructing a pole barn house. The truth is, arch homes can cost as little as 10% of the cost of a traditional home.
Speed of Steel Arch Construction
As stated earlier, a traditional home can take a year or more to build. Not only is this expensive, but it’s also frustrating. By comparison, steel arch housing goes up in just a few days. That means that you’ll be moved in and settled into your new home in a fraction of the time that it takes to get settled into a traditional house.
That’s because these Quonset buildings in Canada are prefabricated and ready to assemble when they arrive on the lot. There’s no complex framing required and no support trusses or pillars. They use a tried-and-true arch design that’s been applied for thousands of years and simply goes up, bolts together and is ready to use. The design process is focused on customization rather than architecture.
Green Living in Arch Building
You can also reduce your carbon footprint through the use of steel arch buildings. They are constructed of 22-gauge sturdy steel and coated with the Galvalume Plus alloy, which is a zinc-aluminum alloy that not only provides outstanding durability, but incredible heat reflection, and insulation to help maintain the temperature inside your home. This reduces the need for air conditioning and fans that use energy and can save you on utility bills as well.
