The following are many advantages of steel structures:


Flexible Space Separation: Steel structure residential buildings can flexibly adapt to different space separation needs. Compared with traditional buildings, the column section occupies a smaller area, and lightweight wall panels are used, which significantly increases the indoor usage area by about 6%, fully meeting the pursuit of modern residential space diversity.


Excellent energy-saving and environmental protection: Using lightweight C-shaped steel, galvanized square steel, and rock wool color steel plates as wall materials, it not only has excellent thermal insulation performance, but also has good seismic performance. Compared with traditional buildings, steel structure residential buildings achieve a 50% energy-saving effect, greatly responding to the call for green buildings.


Outstanding seismic performance: Steel structures, due to their excellent plasticity and strong deformation ability, can effectively resist impacts and reduce building damage in the event of natural disasters such as earthquakes and typhoons, thereby ensuring residential safety.


Light self weight and low foundation cost: The steel structure system has a relatively light self weight, about half of that of concrete structures, which means that the cost of foundation engineering can be significantly reduced, reducing the overall construction cost.


Fast construction speed and high efficiency: The construction period of steel structure residential buildings is greatly shortened, and compared with traditional residential systems, the construction period is reduced by at least one-third. For example, a 1000 square meter building can be completed in just 20 days with a few workers, greatly improving construction efficiency.


High material recycling rate: Steel structure buildings reduce the use of traditional building materials such as sand, stone, and ash during the construction process, with the main materials being recyclable or biodegradable environmentally friendly materials. During demolition, most materials can be recycled and almost no construction waste is generated, resulting in minimal environmental pollution.


Flexible and versatile design: Steel structure residential buildings provide greater design freedom, enabling easy implementation of large net width scheme design, and diversified indoor space segmentation according to user needs, fully meeting personalized living needs.


High degree of industrialization and strong adaptability: Steel structures are suitable for large-scale industrial production and have a high level of technological intelligence. At the same time, it can integrate advanced technologies such as energy conservation, environmental protection, waterproofing, thermal insulation, etc., achieving the integration of design, processing, and construction, enhancing the modernization level of the entire construction industry chain, and in line with the development trend of building industrialization and internationalization.
