Go Green

Did you know that each year…

• 17 billion cans are recycled (600 cans per second)
• 16 million cars are recycled (a typical house can be framed from the steel in about eight recycled cars)
• Recycling steel saves enough energy to power about 18 million households for a year. (Each pound recycled saves enough energy to light a 60 watt bulb for 26 hours)

Make a huge difference, by leaving a small footprint!

"Carbon footprint." It's a way of thinking about the impact of human activities on the environment. The goal is for all of us to reduce the size of the footprint we leave behind as we carry out our lives. Building with steel is a way to do just that.

Cold-formed steel is a construction material that has found its time. Steel offers so many advantages in cost, ease of use and superior performance. But it could well be that steel's greatest legacy will come from helping to preserve our environmental resources.

When it comes to the environment, everyone needs to play a part. Yours just might come through transitioning to steel framing.

Let us show you how!
