Custom Steel Framed Buildings in Luton, Oxford and the Surrounding Areas

Hot Rolled vs Cold Rolled Steel Frames

When planning a steel framed building, selecting the right structural system is essential. Hot rolled steel frames are typically used for portal frame and large-span buildings, offering superior strength, durability and load-bearing capacity. This makes them ideal for industrial units, agricultural buildings and high-eaves commercial structures where structural performance is critical.

Cold rolled steel is lighter in weight and often suited to smaller buildings, secondary framing systems or projects with reduced loading requirements. It can provide a cost-effective solution where heavy-duty structural performance is not required.

At Optimize Steel Ltd, we assess span, usage, loading requirements and future expansion plans to recommend the most appropriate steel system for your project.

Industrial Steel Framed Buildings

These robust and secure structures are ideal for factories, permanent or temporary warehouses, storage facilities and workshops. 

Agricultural Steel Framed Buildings

These are ideal for storing machinery and equipment, and are commonly used as grain barns. We can construct these buildings with concrete walls to support the internal weight.

Commercial Steel Framed Buildings

Besides industrial and agricultural purposes, steel framed buildings can also be used for retail spaces, office buildings, and temporary storage facilities for all sorts of businesses.
