Hot Rolled Steel Buildings
Flexible & scalable solutions at competitive prices
Steel is one of the most commonly used materials in the construction industry, made either through cold rolling or hot rolling methods.
Hot rolled steel processes take place at temperatures of approximately 1,000 degrees C, which prevents the steel from toughening up, with its finished resistance changing as the metal cools down to room temperature.
The benefit of this particular method is it delivers a finished product that’s especially well suited to those structures that are needed for holding bulk amounts, or where the frame has to carry additional loads, with hot rolled steel frames and beams typically thicker than cold rolled products.
As you’re sure to already be aware, there are thousands of different steel variations out there and it can be difficult to know which one is most appropriate for you and your project. However, the TotalSpan team is always on hand to answer any questions you might have to make sure that you select the most suitable products for what you have in mind.
If you need a custom-made structure where shapes other than square or rectangles are required, hot rolled steel buildings are a good option. This is where our consultancy service really comes into its own and we can work closely with you to design bespoke structures for your site, with no job too big or too small.
These structures are also particularly well suited for use in the agricultural industry as livestock sheds, as the material can withstand corrosion well.
You’ll find the TotalSpan service provision to be flexible and fuss-free, with all structures able to be moved from location to location as demand requires because the material is so lightweight.
Furthermore, all structures conform to UK Part L2 building regulations for energy efficiency, with up to 120mm steel wall cladding available on all products.
The advantages of hot rolled steel building systems
Hot rolled steel buildings, columns and frameworks are available in larger formats than cold rolled steel, so bigger heights and widths can be accommodated.
For example, this means that you can install multiple storeys with stairways and even concrete floors if you opt for hot rolled steel, as well as bringing in heavier glazing and cladding to really make the structure your own.
Being able to design at scale gives you greater flexibility for your project, with these structures boasting a long lifespan of at least 50 years, multiple floor levels, concrete floor inserts, stair systems and glazing.
These frames are also able to handle significantly greater loads than cold rolled steel structures, so you could for example bring in a gantry crane or have solar panels installed on the roof.
As for costs, you’ll be able to keep them to a minimum if you opt for hot rolled over cold rolled steel, since the material doesn’t require reheating, which makes it cheaper to produce. Less steel is also required to deliver elaborate structures at larger scales, which makes hot rolled steel more cost effective, as well.
In the same way as cold rolled steel, however, hot rolled steel is strong and durable, as well as being sustainable, with a lower carbon footprint than other construction materials on the market. It’s also easier to recycle, so you can make your project more sustainable if you opt for steel structures.
