Steel House & Garage Supplied in Pearland, Texas
Metal Building Outlet supplied these two steel residential buildings in Pearland, Texas, in September 2023.
The structures, a steel house and a garage/shop space, blend durability, versatility and sustainability and have equally impressive aesthetics. Unlike traditional wooden buildings, the steel home stands strong against extreme weather conditions, and it also features spandrel beams that enhance structural integrity and create a safer, more stable living space for residents.
Incorporating spandrel beams allows homeowners to gain greater flexibility as far as their designs and floorplans without having to sacrifice structural integrity. Spandrel beams can also boost a metal home’s energy efficiency, leading to lower utility bills and increased comfort for residents.
The second residential steel building serves double-duty as a multifunctional space and a covered place to park vehicles. Both the home and garage/shop feature eave and purlin extensions, enhancing their functionality and aesthetic appeal. The extensions create more shelter from the elements, and they also offer ample space in the event the owners want to expand or modify the buildings later on.
Both the metal home and the steel garage/carport feature 7-psf dead loads to allow for the eventual addition of shingles. As the city of Pearland continues to grow and evolve, so, too, must its approach to residential construction. Steel building kits and metal garage kits offer a sustainable, low-maintenance and resilient alternative to traditional wood buildings, giving their owners safe, custom-designed places they can call home for years to come.
