When people think of steel-frame construction, they usually think of
storage facilities or office buildings. But, in the last few years this type of
construction has been growing rapidly in the residential field. The advantages are many and the increases in cost minimal.
Tri-Steel Structures, Inc., is one of America’s leading designer and
manufacturer of pre-engineered residential steel framing systems. Located in Denton, Texas, Tri-Steel is a privately held company with over 100 employees.
Tri-Steel’s product is marketed through a network of authorized independent distributors located across the United States and in over 50 foreign countries.
From design to fabrication, Tri-Steel’s professional architectural and
engineering staff ensures a high quality product. Tri-Steel standard designs include over 200 models accounting for approximately 50% of the business. The remaining half of annual shipments are comprised of custom designs. Tri-Steel homes range in size from 2,000 up to 30,000 square feet.
The product is cut to specification at the factory and then labeled and
numbered. The design plans for the home contain corresponding numbers. The entire framing system is shipped in a bundle to the home site. Once delivered a contractor or the homeowner can assembled the hundreds of pieces of steel into the frame. Nothing needs to be cut and all parts attach with screws.
Tri-Steel supplies today’s home buyers with a stronger home, connected with high-strength steel bolts and screws, which won’t shift or work-out like nails. The Tri-Steel Home offers unmatched protection from fire, earthquakes, hurricane-force winds, heavy snows, termites, and other vermin. Greater energy efficiency is provided by the 9-inch thick R-30 insulation.
In a Tri-Steel Home, walls are straight, floors are flat, doors won’t stick, and
second story floors feel solid. Tri-Steel’s framing is made entirely from recycled steel that will not shrink, warp, split, rot, creep, creak, shift, bow or deteriorate over time like wood. Tri-Steel’s strong, pre-engineered steel framing system is also self-supporting, eliminating the need for mandatory load-bearing interior walls.
Once finished out, the steel-frame home looks like any other home in the neighborhood. But behind the walls, the steel provides as a structure that will defeat the elements and circumvent insects outlasting traditional stick built homes.
