In most cases, Strucxel uses a simple one-coat application (35 microns) of red oxide paint for both primary and secondary steel members. This is sufficient for typical projects. However, for situations requiring enhanced corrosion resistance, Strucxel employs a more rigorous approach. Here, the steel undergoes a process called shot blasting, which removes impurities and creates a textured surface for better paint adhesion. Following this, a specialized paint with superior anti-corrosive properties is applied.

For doors and windows in Strucxel’s projects, frames made of steel or aluminum are secured to the supporting structure. This can be done in two ways: welding them directly to the purlins (curved metal beams) or bolting them to flanges already attached to the purlins. Whichever method is chosen, strategically placed flashings are installed to ensure a watertight seal and prevent leaks.

Many homes and offices benefit from the use of false ceilings. These are created by suspending a metal framework from the existing ceiling. Rigid panels are then either secured to this frame with bolts or simply rest on top, creating a finished lower ceiling.

In pre-engineered buildings, builders often incorporate curved eaves for a touch of visual appeal. These eaves are crafted from sheets of colored steel that are shaped through a process called crimping. This crimping adds a decorative element and helps the steel hold its curved form.
