If you live there, we’re sure we don’t have to tell you that. In addition, the extreme climates surrounding The Great Lakes can have detrimental effects on buildings. Whether in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, or Wisconsin, a building’s durability and longevity are likely the first things that come to mind. Your summers are hot and humid, and winters bring their fair share of moisture, too. A quick look at cars on Great Lakes roads is all it takes to understand that metal objects in this region are prone to premature corrosion.
That’s why you must be confident you’re getting a building as resilient and dependable as the folks that call The Great Lakes Region home.
Similarly, you’re likely more than familiar with the short build season associated with living in The Great Lakes Region. If you want to add a structure to your property, you don’t want to waste this precious time. Missing that narrow construction window can result in brutal days at the job site in nasty weather conditions or, worse yet, your building materials sitting out in the elements for a long and unforgiving winter.
You need a building solution that can be built quickly and efficiently without compromising its ability to withstand the Great Lakes climate. A prefabricated metal building designed with the Great Lakes region in mind could be the perfect solution for your project.
The benefits of steel as a building material over traditional wooden construction materials are plentiful.
G90 galvanized steel offers an enhanced Zinc coating that is robust and acts as a defensive layer between your steel components and moisture. In addition, modern roof panels and insulation solutions can help prevent moisture from accumulating within the structure of a steel building.
Finally, clear-span framing of a metal building means no interior support columns interrupt your usable space. So whether you’re storing heavy machinery or using your building for commercial or recreational purposes, a metal structure provides plenty of space to work with.
A metal building from Great Western is an investment you can count on even despite the intense weather conditions of The Great Lakes region.
