Know All About 100 x 200 Metal Building

When it comes to flexibility, steel structures offer additional space at an inexpensive price. Metal buildings are designed to meet and exceed any specific demands while giving ample space, protection, and longevity compared to other materials. A 100 x 200 metal building is durable, versatile, and cost-effective in its own league. With a sizable footprint and maximum usable interior space, this type of structure is ideal for a wide range of applications in commercial and industrial sectors.

The Inside Look: 100 x 200 Metal Building

# Benefits Of Choosing 100 x 200 Steel Structure

• Flexibility: Ideal for commercial warehouses, a 100 x 200 metal structure is suitable for industrial complexes, riding arenas, inventory areas, and much more. You can choose size, shape, and layout as per requirement.
• Cost-Effective & Durability: A business does not need to spend a hefty amount on the upkeep of metal structures. They can withstand harsh weather conditions compared to wood or other materials. The entire structure stays put throughout its lifespan.
• Quick Construction Time: Prefab steel buildings are mass-manufactured in the factory. At the installation site, they only need assembling. Since most of the work is already done in the factory, it takes less time and labor to complete. You can start using the building early.

# Cost Of 100 x 200 Metal Buildings

The average cost of a commercial metal building is between $12 to $25 per sq. ft. However, this cost varies with the following:

• Region [installation site, labor cost]
• Land clearing
• Distance from utilities
• Architectural design
• Steel price [material cost]
• Design & style
• HAVC equipment

Apart from hard costs, you must consider soft costs associated with designing a 100 x 200 metal structure. They can be inspection, permit, leasing fee, insurance, financing, and other administrative expenses.

# Common Uses Of A 100 X 200 Metal Building

# Design Option And Customization Features Available

When it comes to design options for a 100 x 200 steel building, you can choose between clear span or multi span designs.

• Clear Span Design: No obstructions to internal supporting columns or walls give complete freedom to design the floor plan. A clear span can be up to 300 feet wide.
• Multi Span Design: Though steel supporting columns are used, their thickness is less than that of wood. Hence, you will get more usable space. A multi span can be up to 600 feet wide.
• Engineer Certified Design: These steel buildings are designed to tolerate up to 180 miles per hour of wind speed or up to 80 lbs. per sq. ft. of snow load.

Note that the cost of a clear span is slightly higher than that of a multi span, but they give the maximum usable area per square foot. Certification will also add to the final price of the building.

Some Common Customization Features Include:

• Lean-Tos: These are additional shaded areas attached to any side of a 100 x 200 metal building to create extra open space.
• Roof Type: You can choose between corrugated horizontal [boxed-eave] and vertical roofing panels. The horizontal panels give a traditional look, while the vertical panels are durable and suitable for harsh weather regions.
• Color: We offer over 15+ color options. Match the color of your commercial steel building with your logo or any existing structure for a cohesive look.
• Local Compliance: Our metal buildings can be customized to meet & exceed your local building codes and regulations.
• Insulation: Insulation protects condensation and heat transfer, prolonging the life of the metal building. Currently, we offer single bubble, double bubble, and woven R17 as insulation options.
• Finishing: You can choose internal and external finishing as per your preference and business’s needs, such as the style and type of doors, windows, natural lighting features, vents, IoT security options, floor finishing, and more.
• 3D Design Tool: We also provide a user-friendly 3D designing tool that gives you the freedom to visualize different options and settings before choosing a final design. Just enter your zip code and give it a try. You can even select a building design from our website and click ‘customize with 3D estimator’ to change size or other specifications.

# Maintenance And Durability Of The Metal Structure

A metal building requires less maintenance and care compared to a wooden building. That’s because it has the following advantages over traditional structures.

• Pest Free: Metal is an inorganic and dense material that does not allow termite colonies to thrive.
• Less Repair & Replacement: Metal is a non-porous material that does not absorb moisture from the air or from changing weather. So, there is no rotting or decaying.
• 100% Galvanized Steel: It is resistant to rust due to a protective layer of zinc over it.
• High Tensile Strength: Steel is about 25 times stronger than wood, making it more durable.
• Easy to Clean: To clean a metal building, all you’ll need is warm water, a regular garden hose with a nozzle or a pressure washer [at the lowest setting], and some mild detergent.

# Environmental Benefits Of Choosing A Steel Building

Structural steel is 100% recyclable and can be reused multiple times without losing strength or durability. It won’t end up in landfills polluting the earth. Nowadays, over 90% of the water used in steel production is returned back to the source cleaner.

A steel building can easily be certified LEED, which allows you to enjoy tax credits and other benefits associated with it.
