Скачать или смотреть Precast Concrete vs. Cold-Formed Steel Construction: Which should you use?

Get ready for a fun comparison between cold-formed steel construction and precast concrete!

Precast concrete is known and loved – even the Colosseum was built with it. It’s made using forms and can be used for walls or ceilings. It’s a familiar solution, but it’s also heavy. The transportation and lifting costs can dent your wallet.

Cold-formed steel framing was perfected about 100 years ago. It can span very large rooms (maybe not the Colosseum though), and is really easy to use. Pre-punched holes give access for follow-up trades, and you don’t need a crew just to lift a beam. Due to its versatility, most-mid rise construction projects are suited for cold-formed steel, and it works great in conjunction with wood or insulated concrete forms (ICF).

We may be biased, but you should consider cold-formed steel if you haven’t already. iSPAN Systems’ cold-formed steel framing solutions are revolutionizing the construction of mid-rise condominiums and apartments, hotels and retirement residences.

With a deep understanding of the construction process, we engineer and manufacture a suite of ‘green’ construction materials, proprietary components developed in our facility in Princeton, Ontario.

Through our full-service approach – from engineering and manufacturing, to supporting installation – our involvement does not end once the cold-rolled-steel products are delivered to site. We are there with you every step of the way to ensure a successful sustainable building project.

With applications for many building types, our roof/floor and metal stud framing systems – Total Joist, Composite TotalJoist and TotalFraming – have been used by leading developers and architects on projects across North America to provide a complete metal construction solution for the supply and install of the steel building superstructure.

Our Canadian iSPAN team works directly with architects and developers on Canadian projects. In the United States, we have trained and developed a network of Authorized Dealers who we work closely with.

We’d be happy to provide more information about our systems, answer questions or review drawings for your upcoming project.
