While home design trends tend to fluctuate every three to five years or so, certain aspects of a home, like value, durability and aesthetic appeal, never fall out of favor. This is among the many reasons steel luxury homes are experiencing a surge in popularity among high-end homebuyers, with many opting for these low-maintenance, easily customizable abodes over wood, brick, stone or stucco alternatives.
Merging modern aesthetics with optimal strength and durability, today’s luxury steel homes are affordable, sustainable and easy to raise in comparison to other common construction options. Banks have also grown increasingly receptive to residential metal construction in recent years, simplifying the process of securing a loan for a steel home.
Here are some additional reasons to consider steel for luxury home construction.
Unlimited Design Options
Steel construction allows for near-endless design possibilities, giving you a chance to customize your building to your precise needs and wants. Love large, open spaces? Steel construction allows for wide-open spaces without needing interior columns or supports. Favor the look and feel of high ceilings? Again, steel construction can easily accommodate this and any number of other design preferences. Many luxury steel homes, including Metacero Build’s, are also available with full interior wall framing already included, making it easier than ever to create a home that aligns with your vision. In other words, if you can dream it, chances are, you can do it.
Faster, More Economical Construction
Building a custom luxury home takes time, with most taking between about 18 and 36 months to take shape, depending on size, design complexity and other variables. Prefabricated steel luxury homes, on the other hand, are much faster to build, saving time and money on erection. Metal high-end homes also don’t require any sub-framing, speeding up the construction process while cutting costs even further.
Minimal Maintenance & Upkeep
Moisture, sunlight, insects and especially high or low temperatures are just a few of the factors that can damage a home, but luxury metal homes resist rotting, warping, cracking and mold growth, reducing time and money spent on maintenance and repairs. Steel homes are also smart investments for homebuyers looking to build in areas prone to wildfire, as steel is inherently non-combustible by nature. Because of their strength and durability, steel luxury homes also tend to be cheaper to insure than traditional residences, leading to even more savings for homeowners.
Enhanced Sustainability
Many of today’s homebuyers (especially younger ones) favor eco-friendly and energy-saving options, with one Nielsen study noting that 73% of millennials will pay more for sustainable products and features. Steel construction often includes recycled parts, and the prefabricated nature of these high-end residences also cuts material waste, reducing the environmental impact of construction.
Maximum Versatility & Flexibility
Steel homes are flexible and adaptable to future needs, allowing for easy additions or modifications that won’t compromise structural integrity. Because metal high-end homes undergo fabrication offsite, it’s also easy to incorporate unique or innovative design elements, like large windows, open floorplans or custom garages or architectural features.
Durable, adaptable, economical and sustainable, steel luxury homes are more than just a passing trend, offering a sophisticated, practical and superior alternative to wood and other materials that’s sure to turn heads – and stand the test of time.
