General Steel Buildings and the State of Florida
General Steel Corporation has been supplying consumers in Florida with high-quality steel buildings for many years. In fact, in 2004 one in every ten steel building orders General Steel received came from Floridians. General Steel has become one of the leading suppliers of steel buildings worldwide and a good part of our success is due to the continued growth of our business in Florida .
Currently, the current design wind speed in the state of Florida calls for a minimum of 100 mph and a maximum of 150 mph. One important factor to note is that General Steel designs all of our buildings that are to be shipped to Florida to meet or surpass these wind load specifications. As an accessory, General Steel offers the option of wind loaded components such as sectional, roll-up and walk doors, along with windows. These important considerations have helped General Steel become more and more prominent as the steel building company of choice in the state of Florida .
Many Florida consumers are choosing General Steel for their organization or company needs. General Steel provides high-quality and durable steel buildings for almost any application – be it a school, a commercial enterprise, aircraft hangars or any other building project need. The flexible clear span environment of a General Steel building can provide unlimited floor plan possibilities for sports arena or warehousing applications. A steel building from General Steel is also the structure of choice for owners and investors in Florida looking to build self-storage facilities. When compared to more conventional self- storage designs incorporating block or wood and similar sized structures, a General Steel building can be erected at savings of time and money.
All General Steel buildings in Florida feature solid I-Beam construction and high yield steel strength that creates a stronger and more durable structure. Our steel buildings are pre-engineered to provide for the correct tolerances to withstand the elements and satisfy or exceed any Florida building codes.
A General Steel building is also an energy efficient structure. By insulating a General Steel building with rigid board or fiberglass Florida consumers can dramatically decrease their heating and cooling expenses. Choosing a low profile roof option can also help to defray expensive energy costs.
General Steel buildings are expandable and increased square footage can be easily accommodated in the future as space requirements increase.
General Steel buildings are erected quickly and can be completed in a fraction of the time it would take with more conventional construction.
General Steel buildings use materials that feature strength and longevity. General Steel buildings are virtually immune from the warping, rotting, wasting, leakage, and insect infestations that are common with more conventional building materials. General Steel uses only high-grade steel and our buildings feature bolt-together construction that allows for tight connections to protect the interior environment from the Florida elements of wind and rain. All framing, sheeting, fasteners, and sealants used in all General Steel buildings are premium quality.
These are just a few of the reasons that General Steel has become and will continue to be a major steel building supplier in the state of Florida and nationwide.
