There is growing demand for stainless wire, bar and strand products from the building and construction industry where stainless steel is used for its attractive appearance, corrosion resistance, strength and fire resistance.
Typical applications include barriers, bridge supports, glass wall supports and decorative structures. In particular, construction technology is currently focused on creating light sturdy structures in which wire, strand and bar tension members play a key part.
Stainless Steel is also used increasingly as a structural material in construction. Stainless anchors and fasteners help ensure that stone, masonry, slate and tiles reach their full service life potential. It is also used in remedial repairs of existing building stock.
Where appropriate grades and finishes are selected, stainless steel products should last many decades without replacement. When total life cycle costs are considered, stainless steel is often the least expensive material option available for architects, designers and quantity surveyors.
