What Are Steel Framed Buildings Made Of?

At Springfield Steel Buildings, the majority of our steel building designs are portal frame structures. These structures are made from pre-galvanized cold-rolled steel or traditional hot-rolled beams, or a combination of both. They are engineered to meet the standards of BS5950 Part 5 or BS EN 1993-1-3:2006, ensuring that our buildings are robust and built to individual specifications using high-tensile steel.

The portal frame methodology involves designing connections between the columns and rafters to withstand bending moments. This results in strong and rigid joints that transfer some of the bending moments from the rafters to the columns. This design allows for smaller rafters or larger spans with the same size rafters, making portal frames an efficient construction technique for clear span buildings.

For customers, the portal frame methodology means that less steel is needed for larger spaces, reducing material and installation costs, and shortening construction times.

The steel used in our buildings is made from recycled materials and is 100% recyclable, making them an environmentally friendly choice. The cladding options used in the construction of Springfield Steel Buildings are made from either single skin steel sheets or high-quality galvanized steel, which is treated to resist corrosion and rust.
