Introduction
Future Steel Buildings offer great
value due to their truss-free design
which ensures 100% usable
interior space.
They are based on the strongest
architectural design ever
conceived…the arch.
The buildings are easy to
assemble, and are made using the
highest quality of Galvalume Plus
steel in the world.
Previous Customers
Future Steel Buildings has supplied tens of
thousands of buildings worldwide since its inception.

Proud to be Canadian
Here at Future Steel
Buildings, we are proud to
say that we are 100%
Canadian owned and
operated, and that all of
our steel is made right
here in Canada as well.
Galvalume Plus™ Steel
AZM-180 Galvalume Plus™ is
made from a steel sheet
product. The steel is highly
corrosion resistant due to its hot
dipped aluminum zinc alloy
coating.
The end result is a building that
is superior in strength, 7 times
more rust resistant than
galvanized steel, excellent heat
reflectivity (5-8 degrees cooler
in warm climates), and a 30
year rust perforation
warranty.
Al-Zn Coating vs. Hot-Dip Galvanized
To resist corrosion initiated at panel bends and damage sites, 55% Al-Zn
coated steel is a better choice of substrate for prepainting
Corrosion performance at buildings in rural/acid rain Ontario:
Hot-dip galvanized after 21 years; 55% Al-Zn coating after 17.5 years.
Al-Zn Coating vs. Hot-Dip Galvanized (continued)
Corrosion performance at a manufactured defect (scribe) on buildings
in heavy industrial Ontario after 20 years exposure.
Do-It-Yourself Assembly
Assembly is easy and requires only a small group of laborers and a few
simple tools:
1. Pour the footings.
2. Assemble the arches on the ground.
3. Raise the arches using only ropes and scaffolding in most cases.
4. Insert end-walls and accessories.
Strength of Design
Future Steel Buildings features a 100% truss-free design
which requires no structural members. This provides the
customer with more versatility and unmatched ease of
construction.
The strength of the building can be found in:
1. the arch style design;
2. the corrugated arches;
3. varying steel gauges from 22-14;
4. vertical and horizontal overlaps of 3” and 9” respectively.
Strength of Design
Every Future Steel
building ensures a 9”
overlap on every arch
panel. In addition, we also
ensure that all overlaps
and bolt surfaces are
completely flat.
This feature eliminates the
need to caulk panels and
prevents leaking.

Strength of Design
Heat reflectivity:
Galvalume Plus steel
offers excellent solar
reflectivity and heat
resistance which will
help to naturally cool
building interiors,
and therefore,
reduce energy costs.

Minimal concrete: Our floating foundation
consists of only a 4” thick floor and a 10” wide
footer that extends 18” deep. The minimal use
of concrete in our design will help to keep the
overall project cost as affordable as possible.
Strength of Design
Ease of construction:
Future Steel Buildings is wellknown for its do-it-yourself
assembly process. Most of our
buildings are erected without
the help of on-site engineers
or skilled construction workers.
This will allow for affordable
local labourers to be hired,
rather than expensive skilled
professionals. In addition, our
buildings can be taken apart
and relocated if they are
meant for temporary purposes
only.

Strength of Design
Warranty:
Future Steel Buildings only uses
the highest quality Galvalume
Plus steel in the industry which
provides at least twice the
corrosion resistance of
traditional galvanized coatings
of similar thicknesses. As a
result, every building will come
with a 30 year limited warranty
against rust perforation that
will guarantee an extremely
long term investment.

Engineering
All Future Steel buildings are designed and
manufactured in accordance with local
governing building codes. They will meet live,
snow, wind and seismic loading requirements
to name a few.
Every building purchase will include at least 3
sets of certified engineered drawings and a
construction manual.

Future Steel Buildings has received CAN/CSA
A660-04 certification which ensures the
highest standards in design, engineering,
manufacturing, quality control and much more.
CAN/CSA A660-04 certification is required by
the National Building Code of Canada for all
steel building manufacturers in Canada, and is
one of the most stringent certifications in the
world.
CAN/CSA A660-10 Certified
Shipping
All Future Steel Buildings
feature standard panel
components which stack neatly
and easily to dramatically
reduce the bulk-cargo and
freight cost per square meter
of traditional building shipping.
For example, a 40’ container
will fit approximately 4
buildings at 10m x 15m with an
average amount of
accessories.
