Service Life of Steel Structure Buildings


The lifespan of prefabricated steel structure buildings is influenced by various factors, such as the material and thickness of paint, the coating on the panels, connection methods, screws, and numerous other details.
A well-constructed steel structure building must be a comprehensive building system, rather than just a simple assembly of high-quality materials as many owners might believe. Professionals should handle professional tasks, and constructing a good steel structure building is far from as simple as some uninformed individuals might imagine.
If you ask about the lifespan of steel structure buildings, Xinguangzheng Steel Structure Manufacturer would like to provide an answer in two parts:
Firstly, regarding the service life of the main structure, national standards stipulate a reasonable service life, typically ranging from 30 to 50 years. Of course, within the normal design period, the structure still requires maintenance. Regular inspections, maintenance, and reapplication of rust-preventive paint are necessary, similar to how we take care of our bodies.
Secondly, the lifespan of the envelope structure varies greatly depending on the envelope materials used. Under normal usage conditions, a color-coated panel should have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years without issues.
