Coated steel is the most widely used cladding material in the world. Its strength, versatility in design, and eco-credentials, make it the preferred choice worldwide for durable and sustainable buildings.
At the end of its life, steel is 100% recyclable – preserving the earth’s precious mineral resources for future generations.
Over 40% of all steel used worldwide is produced from recycled material.
As a modern alternative to wood, the use of steel in construction is helping to reduce deforestation and water use.
Steel roofs are the ideal material to support solar harvesting and water harvesting, reducing the carbon footprint of the built environment
