Steelong system is made of steel, which goes through the galvanizing process- this is accomplished by immersion process into the melted metal according to STN. Steel is currently the best beam construction material in the building industry. It resists natural phenomena- fire, wind, water or earthquake.
Fire
Why steel is preferable to the classical building materials is its fire resistance. While steel only partially loses hardness at temperatures above 500 ° C, wood ignites itself without sparks already at about 175-275 ° C. This means that wood starts to fire easily while steel construction gives you much more time for fire extinguishing. Time is the most valuable when a fire starts to burn.
Fire tests have shown that steel structures are able tofulfill all requirements for fire protection, even thoughtheir construction is economical and fast.
Floodings
Steelong® uses steel that is galvanized, which means that it has better water and moisture resistance. The construction retains its original properties, unlike the wood that absorbs water, which can change the character of the wood. The corrosion resistance of building profiles has now reached more than 100 years, so it exceeds the lifetime of the building itself.
Earthquake
Experiences with steel structures prove that the building will withstand an earthquake of up to 7 ° Richter scale.
