🌱 Meet Metsec Decarb
Say hello to Metsec Decarb: your new construction buddy on a mission to create a more sustainable future. These innovative light-gauge steel framing systems are here to take the carbon out of construction!
💚 Why Metsec Decarb?
A. Carbon Reduction Benefits vs. Concrete
- Embodied Carbon: Concrete's carbon footprint is sky-high due to cement production. In contrast, Metsec Decarb uses less carbon-intensive materials, making a greener choice!
- Lifecycle Impact: Light-gauge steel enables easy disassembly, facilitating recycling and reuse, while concrete usually ends up in landfill.
B. Sustainability Benefits vs. Heavy Steel or Timber
- Material Efficiency: Metsec Decarb's lighter weight means less material usage, equating to lower emissions. Heavy steel uses more material and energy, while timber may come with questionable carbon footprints.
- Transportation: Transporting light-gauge steel is a breeze, cutting down on carbon emissions associated with transportation.
- Manufacturing: Metsec Decarb may use steel produced with eco-friendly electric arc furnaces, significantly reducing the carbon footprint compared to older methods.
C. Sustainability Benefits vs. Traditional Wood Framing
- Durability & Maintenance: Steel offers a durable, non-combustible, pest-resistant, warp-free choice with an extended lifespan and minimal maintenance requirements – lowering carbon impact over time.
- Recyclability: Unlike wood, steel is very recyclable without quality loss, while traditional wood recycling often results in degradation.
