7 Tips on Correctly Maintaining Steel Buildings

 

However, in order to ensure that your steel building lasts as long as possible, it is important to correctly maintain it.

In this article, we will discuss seven tips for keeping your steel building in good condition.

1. Stick to a Maintenance Schedule

One thing you want to avoid is letting your steel building sit unchecked for an extended period of time.

They may be durable, but every good thing needs a little bit of TLC every now and again. Make sure to conduct maintenance checks at least two times in a calendar year.

If you’ve done renovations recently, you should check again, and if there’s been severe weather you should check again.

Doing this will ensure that you’re aware of potential maintenance needs as quickly as possible, and unless you’ve fallen into one of the steel building traps, your steel building should last for decades to come.

2. Check the Insulation

Good insulation is vital for any building, but it’s especially important for steel buildings. Leaks in the insulation may lead to moisture buildup from an overworked cooling system, which is bad for any building.

If your insulation is insufficient, you could be spending a lot of money on energy bills to heat or cool your building. Make sure to check the insulation regularly and add more or replace it whenever necessary.

3. Clean the Exterior

The exterior of your steel building should be cleaned on a regular basis somewhere around every 3-4 months should be fine. You may need to do it more often if your building is located in an area with a lot of dust or pollution.

Not only will this help keep your building looking its best, but it will also prevent dirt and grime from working their way into the steel and causing damage.

Make sure to use a hose and nylon brush with a mild cleaning solution, and to work your way from top to bottom.

Keeping the exterior of your steel building clean will help to prevent the buildup of rust down the road and will keep your paint looking fresh.

4. Install Gutters

If you live in an area where heavy rain is a common occurrence, you should consider installing gutters on your steel building.

This will help to prevent water from pooling around the foundation of your building and causing damage.

Gutters will also help to divert those heavy rains away from your precious steel, preventing standing water and the eventual development of rust.

5. Maintain Your Doors and Windows

The doors and windows of your steel building need to be properly maintained in order to function correctly and prevent any leaks.

Make sure to check the sealant around the edges of the doors and windows, as well as the weather-stripping.

If you notice any gaps, simply add more sealant or replace the weather-stripping. It’s also a good idea to lubricate the hinges on a regular basis to keep them from sticking.

6. Clean The Gutters

As we mentioned before, gutters are important for steel buildings but only if you actually keep them clean. Clogged gutters can cause all sorts of problems, including water leaks and rust development.

To prevent this, make sure to clear out your gutters at least twice a year. You may need to do it more often if you live in an area with a lot of trees nearby (leaves love clogging up gutters).

7. Inspect Bolts and Bracings

The bolts and bracings of your steel building need to be inspected on a regular basis to ensure that they remain tight.

If you notice any bolts or bracings that are starting to come loose, simply tighten them up using an impact drill, or by contacting the construction company who built your building.

Unless they had to travel to build your steel structure, they may be able to send a contractor to resolve the issue in case you are unable to.

Conclusion

By following these simple tips, you can ensure that your steel building will last for many years to come. Steel buildings are a great investment, so it’s important to take care of them.
