The Silver State’s Extreme Climate Calls for Metal Buildings
Given the state’s unique challenges, steel buildings in Nevada just make sense. From the Mojave Desert to the snow-covered summits of the Sierra Nevada mountain peaks, the Silver State remains a land of extreme contrasts.
Pre-engineered metal buildings in Nevada confront those difficulties one by one.
Dealing Yourself a Winning Hand with Metal Buildings in Nevada
Pre-engineered steel buildings in Nevada provide so many benefits:
- LIGHTNING: Nevada is low on the ranking of lightning-prone states. However, lightning ignited numerous wildfires across the state in the summer of 2014, proving the state is not immune to lightning damage. A properly grounded steel building passes lightning through the framing and harmlessly into the ground. Wood structures struck by lightning ignite and burn.
- FIRES: The arid climate of much of Nevada makes it a tinderbox for brush fires. Thousands of acres of land burned last summer. Steel buildings are far less likely to suffer fire damage than wood structures. Winds carry embers drift up to a mile from the fire, igniting dry brush or roofs. Steel buildings with metal roofs provide no fuel for embers to ignite. Most insurance companies offer substantial discounts for steel buildings because of the fire-resistant qualities of commercial grade steel.
- EARTHQAKES: Nevada is the third most seismically active state in the U.S. Active faults exist throughout the state. In August 2014, earthquake “swarms” shook the state. Almost 100 quakes rattled Nevadans in just one week. No structure stands up to shaking like a pre-engineered steel building.
- TERMITES: You would expect termites to be a problem in moisture-laden climates. Surprisingly, Nevada too has termite challenges. Western subterranean termites plague areas of the state— especially in Las Vegas and Reno. Steel buildings are impervious to termites and other gnawing pests.
- ECO-FRIENDLY: Beating the Nevada heat becomes much easier with our optional Pro-Value Insulation package. Our customers find this system reduces their heating and cooling costs by 50%, while saving resources. Steel rules as a green building material. Steel is the most recycled material in the world. Strong, durable, steel buildings last far longer than wood structures. At the end of their usefulness, the steel framing recycles again into new cars, new refrigerators— or new steel building!
- VERSATILITY: Steel buildings in Nevada need not look like metal buildings. The exterior may be finished in colorful, durable steel sheathing— or in brick, stone, stucco, tilt-up concrete or any other building material. Since steel framing is self-supporting, large areas of fixed glass are possible where required. As needs changes, expanding the size of a steel building is simple and economical in a steel building. Remodeling the interior of a pre-engineered steel building is also easier.
