Sectional Buildings

April 19, 2010
Posted in Buildings — Written by Neil

Sectional buildings have been making a come back over the last decade and have removed themselves from the prejudice that surrounded the term that was all too often associated with the prefab buildings that rapidly sprung up throughout the UK in the years following the second world war.  Since then the advantages of having components manufactured offsite and the advancements of aesthetics have appealed to many specifiers.

One of the most popular sectional building materials is concrete, thanks to its strength, durability and relatively low cost.  Using concrete panels usually reinforced with galvanised steel for extra longevity, larger  concrete sectional buildings are often built around steel portal frames and are often given extra height through the use of steel cladding.

Steel clad concrete sectional buildings are ideal for light industrial use or for leisure applications.  Many are tall enough to accomodate fork lift trucks and enable loading onto vehicles.  Other similar buildings are used by local scout groups, sea cadets etc. as they enable a large amount of secure comfortable space to be built rapidly at minimum cost.

Concrete sectional buildings have become more popular thanks to the following benefits:

Rapid installation - Built onto a pre-prepared flat, square and level base, new concrete sectional buildings can be installed and ready to use within a week.

Affordable - Significantly cheaper than traditional build.

Guaranteed - Built to last with 10 year guarantee from reputable well established companies.

Appearance - Concrete panels now look attractive as they come in the traditional spar finis as well as more modern brick and textured finishes.
