Viewing Steel Building Accessories as an Investment

As the owner of a steel building, creating a structure that functions efficiently and creates value is beyond important. Purchasing steel building accessories from suppliers, such as Design Components for aftermarket add-ons and upgrades, can often be a lucrative investment for a steel building owner. These upgrades can provide a safe, aesthetically-pleasing, and efficient environment both inside and outside of the building. Steel buildings are unique due to their ability to be completely customizable to the operations that happen within them. With some of these recommended upgrades, you can position your commercial steel building for added value in 2022 and beyond.

Rooftop Walkways

Rooftop walkways provide expanded safety benefits to the workers and visitors of a steel building while also benefiting the company’s business operations. Additionally, it is critical to keep up with the ever-changing safety measures set forth by OSHA. Not only does Design Components, Inc. specialize in being one of the nation’s top suppliers for steel building accessories, but we are also the exclusive supplier of the METALWALK® Rooftop Walkway System.

Adding Visual Appeal With Windows

There have been many studies regarding the sunlight’s impact on workers’ productivity conducted over the years. The outcome of these studies suggest that an increase in natural lighting leads to an increase in a worker’s productivity. The easiest and most obvious way to achieve this is by installing windows properly throughout a commercial steel building. 

In addition to creating a better working environment for a company’s employees, windows also come with great economic benefits. Economic benefits arise from the energy saved by allowing natural sunlight into a steel building.

Since sunlight has less heat per light unit than electrical lighting, cooling loads would become smaller if the windows are oriented and sized appropriately, and electric lights are switched off automatically. Smaller cooling loads mean less costly HVAC systems. Daylighting in commercial buildings infuses positivity and productivity, while reducing energy use in artificial lighting. Daylighting uses sustainable strategies to reduce the negative impact of sunlight, including heat gain and glare, while amplifying the positive effects. gb&d

Canopies and Doors

Well-built and installed steel building exterior doors and canopies are essential for both foot traffic, as well as trucks and suppliers that are loading and unloading at your business. When manufactured and installed correctly, your choice of entry doors and canopies increases safety and efficiency. In addition, these can provide a highly-desirable esthetic appeal welcoming visitors to your business.  It is however, important to work with reputable suppliers of steel building accessories in order to ensure that the building’s security and employee safety is not compromised by poorly built add-ons.
