With a frame made of Red Iron and galvanized steel, you not only have a stronger and longer lasting home, you can have the satisfaction of knowing that steel is the most recycled material in the world. More steel is recycled than paper, aluminum, glass and plastic combined. In the last decade, over one trillion pounds of steel were recycled. The steel used in framing contains recycled materials from sources such as crushed Fords and Toyotas. This helps conserve the planet's dwindling supply of forests.
Steel framing can interfere with TV and radio reception or garage door openers.
There is no difference in the reception of TV and radio broadcasts. Garage door openers and all appliances work exactly the same in wood or steel framed homes. Steel framed homes are less efficient than wood framed homes. Steel framing is designed to meet or exceed governmental energy efficiency standards. In addition, steel framing helps prevent cracks in walls and joints due to shrinking or warping, thus preventing the costly loss of energy through air leaks.
