Prefabricated Steel Warehouses | Industrial storage, manufacturing plants | Steel framework (Q235 Grade), galvanized surface (ASTM A123), EN10204 certified ▲ (Advanced: Q345 steel for 20% higher strength) | Fast assembly (7 days), corrosion resistance (20+ years lifespan), CE certified | Higher upfront cost vs basic structures, requires skilled installation |
Modular Metal Buildings | Temporary offices, retail spaces | Prefabricated metal panels (285 GSM), CE certified ▲ (Advanced: Thermal insulation R-value 5.0) | Flexible layouts, relocatable, energy-efficient heating/cooling | Limited exterior design options, may require foundation adjustments |
Prefabricated Container Warehouses | Emergency storage, remote sites | Repurposed ISO containers, load capacity 30 tons ▲ (Advanced: Reinforced floors for 50-ton loads) | Rapid deployment (48 hours), cost-effective, portable | Limited scalability, requires climate control for non-temperature-rated units |
Traditional Brick-and-Concrete | Long-term storage, high-security sites | Non-combustible masonry, 2-hour fire rating ▲ (Advanced: Smart sensors for real-time monitoring) | High durability, low maintenance, fire-resistant | 6–12 month construction, rigid layouts, high carbon footprint |
Insulated Panel Structures | Cold storage, food processing | Sandwich panels (polyurethane core, R-value 5.0) ▲ (Advanced: Vacuum insulation R-value 10.0) | Energy-efficient cooling, minimal heat transfer, NSF certified | Higher material costs, requires professional installation |
Light Gauge Steel Buildings | Agricultural barns, small workshops | Lightweight steel frames (2.5mm thickness), galvanized coating ▲ (Advanced: Corrosion-resistant alloy for coastal use) | Cost-effective, easy assembly, 90% recyclable | Lower load capacity (max 10 tons/m²), less durable in extreme climates |
