Metal Buildings and Their Advantages

Why metal buildings?

Metal buildings are fast gaining popularity and preference over conventional building materials such as wood and lumber. The reasons are the several advantages you enjoy with a metal building as compared to other materials where such benefits are absent.

Also, an insatiable demand for non-renewable resources like wood has resulted in clearing of forest cover which has adversely affected the global environment. High costs, low availability and limited options have led to the shift from other building materials to metal buildings.

What are the advantages of metal buildings?

Metal buildings have numerous advantages over other building materials which makes them the preferred choice for building strong, stylish and durable high-quality buildings.

Cost-advantage: Metal buildings are relatively cheaper when compared with buildings of other materials. What distinguishes them is that they have low maintenance costs as well. Building a metal building is a one-time affair and the expenditure is a long term investment.

Durability: Another important feature of metal buildings is that they are very sturdy. Metal buildings are heat-resistant and are strong enough to withstand climatic changes. Other materials such as wood do not withstand climatic changes that well.

No labor costs: Professional metal building companies deliver pre-fabricated dismantled metal framework with marked components. These require just bolting and erecting which can be done easily with the help of the detailed assembly handbook making doing-it-yourself possible for smaller structures.

No waste: If a 40’ X 60’ wood building is to be constructed, tons of waste is to be expected. In case of metal buildings, this is not the case. Prefabricated building engineered at the factory in accordance with pre-decided dimensions and completely recyclable material guarantee that there is no residual waste.

Desired design: If you require very high ceilings or want to have a complex design according to the placement of your heavy machinery, metal buildings are best suited for you. You can choose from a wide variety of options and give your requirements beforehand to have your own customized metal building.

Insulation cover: Another addition with metal buildings is the insulation cover you can opt for. Insulation advantages not only reduce the noise level of falling rain in the interiors but also lower overall energy consumption costs.

Insect-resistant: Metal buildings are not affected by insects of any kind and hence are more durable.

An ever-rising demand, use in churches, bridges and mammoth corporate house buildings testify the revolution the use of metal in buildings has brought about.

I am replacing the radiator on a 1998 Chevy Monte Carlo. How do I remove the 2 metal lines from the radiator?

I think the metal lines are the cooling lines for the transmission. They have some sort of metal key at the rear of the bolt that connects to the radiator. I don't want to break anything by applying too much pressure. Will fluid leak from these lines or are they filled with coolant?

Yes, those lines are the stock type cooling method for the transmission fluid. A little bit of ATF will come out when you loosen them. It's best to use what's called a "flare nut" wrench on the hex head at the end of the lines, to keep from rounding the corners off. Most radiators also have a hex head where the lines go in. Use another wrench on those to hold them in place so they won't turn, to be safe. I think the "metal key" you're referring to must be the internally tanged lock washers which are commonly used to help keep the fixture from turning. Kind of like a star with the pointy parts going in instead of out?

If you have a lot of trouble getting them loose, you can cut the lines, and use a section of regular carburetor-grade fuel line hose to splice them together. This type of hose is fiber-reinforced, and can handle the moderate pressures involved. This is also a handy way to add an after-market transmission cooler. Simply cut the lower line, which is the return line to the transmission, and route the tube from the radiator into the added cooler, then run a hose from the other side of the added cooler to the transmission return line. Fasten all hose ends with screw type clamps.

This helps your transmission last much longer, as the stock one is cooled by the (warm) anti-freeze in the radiator, whereas the add-on cooler is cooled by the air. Mount it in front of the radiator somewhere, and transmission temps go way down. In either case, if you do use the type of hose I mentioned, they will not leak at all for a few years usually, and are very easy to change once in a while. Or, if you're handy with tubing, and have some basic tools (tubing bender, flaring tool), you can add one using all metal lines.
