Steel building design helps protect your home from fire. Steel does not burn or make a fire spread faster. Wood frames catch fire quickly and can fall down fast. Steel keeps its shape even when it gets very hot. This gives you more time to get out and helps firefighters work safely. Prefabricated steel construction uses materials that do not make toxic smoke. The International Building Code says steel is non-combustible, and it melts at over 2,500°F. This means your steel building stays strong much longer during a fire.
You can see how long steel buildings last in a fire in the table below.
|
Rating (minutes) |
Description |
|---|---|
|
30 |
Can resist failure under fire conditions for 30 minutes |
|
60 |
Can resist failure under fire conditions for 60 minutes |
|
90 |
Can resist failure under fire conditions for 90 minutes |
|
120 |
Can resist failure under fire conditions for 120 minutes |
|
180+ |
Can resist failure under fire conditions for 180 minutes or more |

Prefabricated steel buildings can have fire resistance ratings of 30, 60, 90, 120, and 180+ minutes.
The rating depends on building codes, what the building is used for, how tall it is, and fire risk.
Tall buildings or factories often need higher ratings, like 120+ minutes.
Steel building design helps your house stay safe during earthquakes and bad weather. Steel construction uses light materials, so there is less force during an earthquake. Steel buildings bend and take in energy, so they do not break easily. You can fix and repair them faster after a disaster. The table below shows how steel buildings compare to other materials.

Steel building design gives you both strength and flexibility. Your home will be safe, modern, and ready for the future.
Steel building systems are safer and stronger than concrete or wood. Steel buildings do better in disasters. For example, steel frames can handle strong storms like Category 5 hurricanes. Steel is much stronger than wood. It has 400-500% more tensile strength. This means steel buildings do not break or fall down easily. Steel uses special connections that spread out wind force. This helps the building stay strong. Wood buildings often fail because nails and screws come loose. Moisture also makes wood weak.
During Hurricane Andrew, steel buildings had little damage. Wood homes had over 80% failure rates. Steel arch buildings use curved shapes to spread out force. This helps them stand up to strong winds and heavy loads. In Hurricane Michael, a steel arch warehouse in Florida stayed up in 155 mph winds. Deep anchors and strong walls helped it stay safe.
