Our Steel

Future Buildings steel buildings are made from the best steel available in the world today.

  • All our steel is purchased directly from ArcelorMittal Dofasco to ensure consistency of quality grade steel and optimal pricing.
  • ArcelorMittal Dofasco is the largest steel manufacturer in the world and is one of only two mills in the Americas that produces Galvalume Plus steel to the thickness and specifications that Future Buildings requires making us one of their largest customers.
  • All steel between 22 and 14 gauge is AZM 180 Galvalume Plus structural grade (A792-06).
  • Galvalume Plus steel is treated with a zinc coating alloy making it highly corrosion resistant and therefore within normal climate conditions we offer a 40 Year Rust Perforation Warranty.
  • A minimal use of lubricating oils makes the steel brighter, less slippery or susceptible to marking.
  • Production lines permit panel corrugation depths of 3.5”, 7.5” as well as 9.75”.
  • Future Buildings’ “one size fits all” fasteners are minimum Grade 2 (ASTM A307) in strength and JS1000 coated (salt spray tested for 1000 hours).
  • If requested, fasteners can be upgraded up to Grade 8.2 and DT1500 or stainless steel coated.
