Custom Texas Metal Buildings – Proposed Uses for our Red Iron Building Kits

At Titan Steel Structures, our Texas-certified metal buildings provide Texans with sturdy and reliable structures that are more practical than wood or brick-and-mortar projects. There are many reasons why Texas residents are choosing steel buildings at an increasing rate, including:

Storm and Wind Resistant

Texas experiences a lot of strong storms, and the state gets hit with approximately X tornadoes each year. Almost all of Texas’s tornadoes are rated as F0, F1, or F2 with winds ranging from 40-157 miles per hour. Pre-engineered metal buildings can be engineered to withstand winds of up to 170 MPH, making them tough against both tornadoes and straight-line winds.

Strong wind isn’t the only threat storms bring to Texas–storms also bring torrential downpours and flying debris–both of which are no match for a sturdy metal building. Metal is extremely strong and resilient so it can withstand impacts from many types of flying debris. Metal also doesn’t trap moisture like wood does, so it won’t lead to rot, mold, or mildew.

Low Maintenance

Steel is one of the most durable, long-lasting, and reliable building materials there is. Steel buildings do not decay, decompose, bend, warp, or rot like wood does. I-Beam framing produces the structure with time-tested support that will not sustain damage from things like pests, water, rodents, fire, and more. These key features allow Texas steel buildings to stay in optimal condition for decades to come.

Affordable

Not only are steel buildings low maintenance, but they are more affordable than their brick-and-mortar counterparts. You also don’t have to spend nearly as much money on structural maintenance because pre-engineered steel can outlast other building materials.

Mold and Mildew Resistant

Texas is a large state, so the climate varies widely. However, much of Texas experiences regular humidity. Extra moisture that gets trapped in buildings can cause building materials like wood to rot or lead to the growth of mold or mildew, all of which can damage the structural integrity of your building.

Metal buildings are resistant to mold and moisture because they do not provide a suitable environment for their growth. They can also be ventilated properly to avoid condensation and prevent moisture accumulation.

Fire Resistant

There are many reasons for Texans to choose fire-resistant building materials. The first is that wildfires are becoming more common across the state as global temperatures rise. The second is that Texas sees more lightning strikes than any other state with nearly 28 million lightning strikes in 2022.

Fortunately, pre-engineered metal buildings are extremely fire-resistant, so if you live in Texas, a metal building can offer you an extra level of protection against the elements.

Pest and Termite Resistant

Pest infestations, particularly termites, are a major problem in Texas. Termites live in hot, humid places and feed off cellulose, a chemical in wood. However, metal buildings are made from 100% inorganic material, so they don’t contain any cellulose. Since metal doesn’t provide a food source, termites and other pests won’t have the nutrients they need to survive and won’t be attracted to the structure.

How Much Does a Prefab Metal Building Cost in Texas?

Metal buildings are more affordable than other building types, especially in the long-run due to their low-maintenance qualities. Not only that, but metal buildings are practical in Texas and can serve a diverse range of needs, making for a smart investment.

Pre-engineered metal buildings are priced by square feet. Although the cost of metal fluctuates, basic, non-complex designs typically run about $25-30 per square foot. The building cost does not include the cost of customizations, construction, or foundation.

Additional factors that may affect the price of your Texas metal building include:

• Building size and shape
• Location
• Geography
• Insulation
• Premium paint colors
• Doors
• Windows
• Weather-resistant coating
• Ventilation systems

Texas Steel Buildings Engineered According to State and Local Building Codes

The state of Texas’s building codes are based on the standard International Building Code (IBC) requirements that are used by most other states, however, all local jurisdictions can make any amendments they deem necessary for safe, functional buildings in their areas.

Your building must be engineered according to state and local building codes to pass inspections and for safety and insurance purposes. That’s why our metal building experts at Titan Steel Structures are committed to working with you to make sure your building is manufactured in compliance with all applicable building codes.

At Titan Steel Structures, all of our metal buildings for sale in Texas come stamped and sealed with engineering blueprints signed by a licensed engineer in Texas.
