Applications of Rapid Steel
Roof Frame Structure
The roof frame is one of the most common applications of Rapid Steel lightweight steel. Its high tensile strength makes it ideal for supporting the weight of residential roofs, commercial buildings, and industrial warehouses.
Truss Frame Construction
Rapid Steel is also used for constructing roof trusses. In addition to being strong and lightweight, this material is resistant to corrosion and termites, and it does not absorb moisture, making it a more environmentally friendly alternative to wood.
