Seven Reasons Why Clear Span Will Save You Money and Space

There is something about a well-designed space that is therapeutic, appealing to human’s emotions, sensory and physical movement. Good space gives a sense of freedom – one architect sums up the importance of space.

When you need a structure that offers you adequate space with unmatched flexibility to address your short and long term on-site structural needs, then clear span is what you need.

Unlike the traditional metal and wooden building, clear span structures have unique advantages that withstand even natural disasters like hurricane winds. In addition, you get to save on costs of putting up a strong warehouse structure within your available space.

So why should you choose clear span over a traditional wood or metal? Here is why:

1. Highly cost effective and fast to build

Clear span takes up between three and five days to install and it would cost you much less compared to building a metal or wood structure depending on its size and material needed. It’s estimated to take one month from conception to construction, with up to 10,000 square feet built per day. It is equally easy to readjust the space, move to a different location, remove and reinstall.

2. Lower energy costs

The fabric material used allows adequate natural light that reduces daytime lighting costs. Secondly, it works well in different climates and regulates the temperatures quite effectively during winter or summer.

3. Maximum usable space

There is ease of movement in clear span structures with no poles erected in the interior. Flexibility to move around makes it possible to accommodate more equipment, furniture or people.

4. Reduced fire hazard

Unlike wooden structures that pose a fire hazard, clear span is less likely to catch fire. You are assured of safety with the metal frames and flame retardant covers.

5. Enhanced flexibility

With trained engineers, you can customize the structures to your needs. Depending on the site location and space, your walls and doors can be designed uniquely to your specifications. The ease of removing and reinstalling makes it possible to redesign the interior with so much ease to increase or reduce space as desired.

6. Durability

The tubing is triple galvanized and it does not shrink, bend, rust or rot. The steel frames resist corrosion in extreme weathers. Unlike wood, the steel maintains the structure’s shape. You need not replace it. In addition, it has minimum maintenance costs; you will save money for painting or cleaning.

7. Natural and free ventilation

Fabric covers are available in polythene or vinyl material that allows adequate natural light and sufficient ventilation. This saves you lighting costs during the day and rids off stuffiness that may have health implications.

Clear span has revolutionized the architectural business. The flexibility it offers allows you to rent them out or even sell them for almost 100 percent of the purchase price, all this while preserving the environment since the covers and the steel are made from recyclable materials.
