What is “building material”?
Building materials are the various materials used in the construction of buildings.
Many building materials are made of various materials and have a wide range of uses, such as structural roles, design roles for appearance, and roles that combine functionality and design such as handles and window frames.
The most obvious structural role is that of a framework, such as a steel frame.
As such, they are the building blocks of strength.
The materials that give the building its design appearance are also known as finishes and can be divided into interior and exterior materials.
Exterior materials are constantly exposed to the elements and to ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Therefore, materials that can withstand these external conditions are used.
Stone, tiles and metal are the most common materials used.
Interior materials, on the other hand, are used inside the building and are not subjected to the same harsh conditions as the outside.
In residential buildings, wallpaper is a typical example. In commercial buildings, a wide range of materials are used to match the design of the space. The materials and design are used to express the place and to make it functional.
The paints and adhesives used to adhere and paint these building materials are known as auxiliary materials.
The various building materials used in the construction of a building are used in different ways depending on the role they play.
The main areas where they are used are
Roofs, exterior walls, interior walls, ceilings, floors and fittings.
If you are not familiar with the term “fittings”, it means
“Fittings are the frames that support openings, such as windows, doors, fusuma, etc., and the movable parts that move them.
The most obvious examples are the frames of entrance doors, building doorways and windows.
“Types of materials used in “building materials
So what are the materials used for building materials?
In the modern era, various materials are being developed one after another and are constantly evolving.
Stone
Earthen mortar, cement and concrete
Wood
Bricks and tiles
Metal materials
Glass
Plastics
etc.
There are so many different types of materials. As the human race has evolved over the years, it is time to consider the need for more environmentally friendly building materials.
This is because, as the SDGs advocate, we must protect the global environment in the future.
In the future, materials may change a lot.
We are dealing with metals that are durable and can be melted down and reused as scrap. It is said that a lot of carbon is released when it is made, but once it is made, it can be melted down and reused again and again by electricity.
This is one of the ways in which we can prevent the depletion of oil products and deforestation.
Let’s take a look at stainless steel construction materials.
About stainless steel construction materials
Stainless steel building materials are often found in areas with a high degree of design. Stainless steel is more resistant to corrosion than steel or aluminium. Another reason why stainless steel is used in building materials is that it can create a sense of luxury.
For example, stainless steel is used in the exterior walls of buildings, handrails, escalators, lifts, automatic doors, glass window frames and many other places in the city.
Some stainless steel building materials are made to standard specifications, but many are made to order. We can customise the size, shape and design to suit the shape and space of your building.
For example, when decorating a wall with metal panels, the size of each panel is calculated based on the size of the entire wall, taking into account the joints, and the size and shape of the panel is determined to create a beautiful design.
Sometimes the panels are bent, sometimes they are cut, depending on the designer’s vision of the space.
The same applies to the surface design, which is adapted to the space created by the architectural designer.
In addition to the standard stainless steel design, we can also create a new design or a combination of the two, creating a bespoke stainless steel building material for each occasion.

What types of materials are used in stainless steel construction materials?
Stainless steel construction materials are manufactured using a variety of stainless steel grades.
The choice of stainless steel grade is based on the external environment, strength aspects and dissimilar metals in contact.

What is the material shape of the stainless steel construction material?
Stainless steel building materials are typically manufactured from sheets, cut, bent and welded.
However, we also use steel profiles to produce stainless steel construction materials.
The steel profiles are available in buffed and hairline as standard.
Some of our products are vibrated, but we are not able to produce any other special design products. However, it is possible to create designs on both steel profiles and strips as well as plates.
In the foreground is the square pipe and aligned at the back is the flat bar.
The stainless steel construction material is characterized by its ability to express itself even when formed steel plates are placed side by side or combined.
Finally
Stainless steel is an ideal material for the realization of design ideas. Stainless steel is easy to work with and can be welded more easily than other metals.
It is also possible to use stainless steel in its original state without plating or painting.
In the interior construction process, the use of butt panels reduces the appearance of joints as much as possible, and the structure of the stainless steel panels can be adjusted to reduce weight.
At the same time, we try to avoid cost increases and to reduce costs.
We also take into account the burden on the installer and strive to provide stainless steel products that are both beautiful and easy to install.
Finally, stainless steel is a recyclable material that contributes to a sustainable society.
We look forward to working with you.
