Metal Buildings Alaska

Alaska is known for its beautiful landscape, the ability to see the northern lights, and native culture. These factors make Alaska a wonderful place to call home.

However, it is also a state known for having severe winter weather. If you are creating a new building in Alaska or expanding on your current property, it’s important to consider the climate. Choosing a prefabricated steel building will ensure that your building withstands even the most severe weather conditions.

At Titan Steel Structures, we provide our clients in Alaska with highly durable and versatile steel building kits. Whether you are creating a residential, commercial, or agricultural building, a pre-engineered steel building kit is the perfect choice.

Metal buildings in Alaska can be used for a wide variety of building projects, including greenhouses, mini-storage buildings, restaurants, retail stores, and more.

Why are Metal Buildings the Best Choice in Alaska?

Alaska is a beautiful state, but the most gorgeous landscapes tend to come with harsh conditions. When you are creating a building, you want to consider the climate it will be situated in. Steel buildings in Alaska can withstand heavy snow loads, and strong wind loads, while offering the climate control you need to stay comfortable during the freezing months.

Ability to Withstand Severe Winters

The construction methods used to create a steel building make them ideal for surviving severe winters. In Alaska, the yearly snowfall is an average of 215 feet. Having a heavy snow load on the roof of your building can lead to structural damage if you are not careful.

Thankfully, when you choose a prefabricated steel building, you never have to worry about how much snow you are getting. These buildings can be manufactured to withstand snow loads of up to 350 pounds.

Even further, winter months often come with blizzards and storms that create strong winds. While other types of buildings are not meant to withstand significant wind, steel buildings are.

Your metal building kit will be able to withstand the test of time, even in a climate like Alaska.

Climate Control

While Alaska does not usually get hot in the summer, the winters can be brutal. This state often sees temperatures as low as -30 degrees. Having a place to stay warm during this type of weather is extremely important.

Steel building designs offer deep wall cavities. This means you will be able to insulate your building effectively. In other words, the warm air circulating in your building will stay inside longer.

Having a climate-controlled building in Alaska is of the utmost importance. The ability to insulate effectively will lower your heating bills significantly while keeping you safe during the coldest months.

Less Impact on the Environment

Alaska is very serious about controlling climate change and lessening the impact it has on the environment. As a result, you will want to keep the environment in mind when you are creating a new building. Some areas of Alaska might even have strict building requirements or building codes to ensure your structure is not harming the local ecosystem.

Thankfully, steel offers a decreased impact on the environment when compared with other types of building materials. The factors that make steel buildings environmentally friendly include:

• Less construction waste
• Reduced energy usage
• Options for solar power
• Less yearly maintenance
• Sustainable and 100% recyclable

Versatility

Metal buildings are extremely versatile, which means you can use them for just about any purpose. Whether you are creating an RV storage building or an aircraft hangar, a metal building kit can suit your needs.

Common uses for metal buildings in Alaska include:

• Greenhouses and grow houses
• Living quarters for livestock and horses
• Equestrian riding arenas
• Retail shops and restaurants
• Manufacturing warehouses
• Storage facilities
• Garages for cars, RVs, and boats
• Data mining or cryptocurrency warehouses
• Houses of worship
• Recreational buildings for the community
• Municipal buildings and office spaces

Since steel building kits do not require large interior support beams, you will receive an open floor plan. This means you can design the interior of your building to work for any type of activity you can think of. Whether you need rows of assembly lines for manufacturing or separate office rooms, a steel building can suit your needs.

How Much Does a Metal Building Cost in Alaska?

Metal buildings are a great investment. Since they are cheaper than other buildings, last longer, and require less yearly maintenance, they are the most financially smart choice. That said, you might be wondering how much they cost initially.

The cost of a metal building kit can vary greatly. First, you have to look at the market price of metal. Typically, the cost of metal is $25 to $35 per square foot. If you have a dimension in mind already, it’s easy to estimate the base cost of your metal building.

Next, you have to consider customizations you might want or need based on local building codes. Common customizations that can increase the cost of your metal building include:

• Specialized doors and windows
• Skylights
• HVAC and ventilation systems
• Special building foundations
• Custom insulation
• Premium paint finishes like fire-resistant coating
• Environmentally-friendly options like solar power
