WHY CHOOSE STEEL? An increasing number of builders, engineers and architects are specifying steel in place of more traditional materials such as concrete and timber.

5 WHY CHOOSE STEEL? An increasing number of builders, engineers and architects are specifying steel in place of more traditional materials such as concrete and timber. Below are some of the reasons why: VERSATILE Steel is extremely versatile, giving architects freedom in their designs. SUSTAINABLE Steel has a true closed recycling loop, which means that is not 'consumed' but instead used again and again, without any loss of quality or strength. This in turn has a positive impact on our Carbon Footprint as an Industry. FLEXIBLE Steel can be used to create light, airy spaces, making it an ideal choice for extending/adapting a property with minimal disruption COST EFFICIENT Short construction periods lead to cost savings. Furthermore, loads imposed by steel frames are up to 50% less than a concrete alternative. SAFE Steel is fabricated in strictly controlled environments that are audited regularly. Builders Beams are members of the BCSA, meaning that all our steel is CE marked (to Execution Class 3) for quality assurance. For more information about the benefits of steel, please go to the free steel resource from the BCSA sales@buildersbeams.co.uk Page 5
