If you count yourself among the growing number of homebuyers exploring metal-framed homes, you’re in good company. The homebuilding industry is seeing a shift away from the traditional wood framing that has dominated the industry for decades, with more and more people opting for steel-framed homes, rather than wood-framed residences. In fact, reports suggest that metal-framed homes are also surging in popularity among well-known names like Taylor Swift, Rihanna and Garth Brooks, providing additional evidence of their growing appeal.
Why are so many new homebuyers exploring metal-framed homes, as opposed to wood-framed residences?
Superior Strength & Durability
Simply put, steel framing is stronger, studier and more susceptible to damage than wood-framed structures. While moisture, termites and extreme temperatures can all cause wood framing to rot, rust, warp and crack, steel framing holds its own against these hazards, which can save you substantial money on repairs and maintenance.
Ample Design Flexibility
Contrary to popular belief, metal homes are not inflexible in terms of design. Instead, Metacero’s Flexx Steel framing is similarly flexible and adaptable to wood, making it easy for you to configure different layouts and floorplans while benefiting from the strength and durability only steel can provide. Metal-frame homes can also support heavier loads using fewer materials, increasing your design flexibility even further by allowing for higher ceilings, larger windows and other desirable features.
Resistance to Extreme Temperatures
Wood can expand and contract when temperatures are especially high or low, which may warrant ongoing maintenance and costly repairs. Steel framing, however, is not nearly as vulnerable to damage resulting from broad temperature fluctuations, making it a smart choice for residential construction in just about any environment.
