There is a reason why the first use of steel in building frameworks was for skyscrapers in 1883, and to do this day that has not changed! Steel framed garden rooms will also not crack, warp, twist, rot, split or settle.
Currently, steel compromises around 75% of all major appliances, and for good reason too! One of the biggest benefits of using steel is the low carbon footprint it produces.
The recycling of steel in the UK saves enough energy to power around 18 million houses for an entire year, and surprisingly, is recycled more than any other product, including paper, plastic and glass. One of the main reasons that steel is so widely recycled is because it can be repeatedly recycled without any loss of strength.
Steel VS Timber
