What Are Industrial Steel Structures?
Industrial steel structures are steel-framed buildings used in various industries for production, storage, logistics, or as multipurpose facilities. Industrial construction utilizing steel as the structural material and various types of roofing is highly adaptable, allowing for the rapid creation of new covered spaces. By considering the specific requirements of the customer and the options offered by various types of steel structures, we provide economical, functional and sustainable industrial buildings.

Types of Industrial Steel Structures
Industrial steel structures can be categorized based on their intended use as follows:
1. Production Steel Structures
Production steel structures are designed to accommodate manufacturing processes, offering flexible interior layouts that can be either fully open or divided into designated areas using partition walls. These facilities are typically the site of continuous operations, making it crucial to maintain a comfortable working temperature, which often requires effective heating systems.
The roofs of heated structures are typically equipped with insulated panels of varying thicknesses, tailored to meet specific thermal requirements. Additionally, noise control is a key consideration, as machinery can generate significant sound. While standard panels provide a solid level of sound insulation, enhanced noise protection can be achieved through the installation of additional soundproofing measures, such as internal chambers or specially designed rooms within the structure.

2. Warehouse Facilities
Warehouse facilities are designed to meet a wide range of storage needs, from finished products and raw materials to transitional storage for logistics operations, racking systems for saleable goods, and dry storage solutions.
The choice of roofing materials depends on the required level of insulation and environmental protection. Options include insulated panel boards of varying thicknesses for thermal efficiency, non-insulated trapezoidal sheet metal, and lightweight PVC membrane coverings. Custom combinations of roofing materials can also be tailored to meet specific requirements, as demonstrated in the flexible design of the Schwarzmann X® warehouse facility..

3. Multipurpose Business Steel Structures
Steel, as an incredibly versatile material, allows for a wide range of architectural designs. When combined with insulated panel boards, glass facades, and flat roof systems, it provides excellent solutions for multipurpose business facilities. For industrial companies, this means all their spatial needs can be met with a single structure, bringing together departments such as production, storage, office space, and exhibition or sales areas.
