Choosing steel for building design
Steel has become one of the most innovative and versatile building materials in modern construction. Its exceptional durability, long lifespan and eco-friendly qualities make it a preferred choice for architects, developers and homeowners. From cladding to roofing, steel continues to transform how we build, blending strength and style seamlessly.
Renowned for its durability and the ability to withstand harsh weather conditions, wear and structural impacts, steel makes it ideal for projects in regions prone to extreme climates, such as Malaysia’s tropical environment. Coated and finished steel resists corrosion, ensuring that it maintains both functionality and aesthetics over time. These qualities contribute to the longevity of steel structures, reducing the need for frequent repairs or replacements—a significant advantage for cost-conscious and sustainability-minded builders.
Eco-friendly appeal
Furthermore, steel is highly recyclable, making it an environmentally friendly choice for modern architecture. These attributes make steel a cornerstone in sustainable building practices.
