What are the advantages of post frame construction with steel cladding over conventional metal or steel buildings?
Depending on your needs, there may be several advantages to using the steel-clad post-frame system for your metal building. Energy efficiency/insulation: Steel-clad post-frame buildings offer an energy efficient choice for metal building construction. Wood offers excellent insulation properties, increasing the R-Value, while conventional steel and concrete can reduce the effectiveness of insulation. In fact, the wood used in a steel-clad post-frame structure can sometimes even provide better insulation than the insulation itself! And the cavity in a post-frame wall is larger than that of a 2×4 or 2×6 stud wall, with batt insulation that is 4 feet or wider, which means more insulation can be used with fewer breaks in the insulation barrier. Speed of construction: One of the factors to consider when choosing the type of building to construct is how long it will take to complete. Steel buildings and concrete buildings can take up to twice as long to build as a steel-clad post-frame buildi
